Dear Reader,
As we watch a world in turmoil after the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, we need art more than ever. At this time, arts and culture serve as much needed distractions and offer the simple pleasures and enjoyment we need, to get some relief from the heartache we feel for the Japanese people. We also find it more necessary now to cherish the many good things that life has to offer. On my search for intriguing writers, artists, architects, designers andmanymore innovative creators in the world, I encountered this poem entitled “Hope,” by Vaclav Havel. As the tenth and last president of Czechoslovakia (1989–92) and the first president of the Czech Republic (1993–2003), he has written over twenty plays and numerous non-fiction works, all translated internationally. I consider Vaclav Havel’s “Hope” a masterpiece, written by one of themost innovative creators of all times. I think it is needless to say that this poem is a masterpiece not only for the readers, but also a masterpiece that represents this century, even while created in another century.Ormaybe it is better to say this is a poemfor all times, a good poem for all of us to remember, as long as we shall exist.
Hope Hope is a state ofmind, not of the world . . . Either we have hope or we don’t; it is a dimension of the soul, and it’s not essentially dependent on some particular observation of the world or estimate of the situation. Hope is not prognostication. It is an orientation of the spirit, an orientation of the heart; it transcends the world that is immediately experienced, and is anchored somewhere beyond its horizons . . . Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed. The more propitious the situation in which we demonstrate hope, the deeper the hope is.
Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out. -Vaclav Havel
If we had to create an Eyes in time capsule frommaterials by innovative creators, this poemwould havemy first priority in entering this capsule. Not only in Japan or Lybia, but in everyday lives of persons, hope can allow miracles to happen. Our Issue 6 innovative creators, their companies and their organizations make miracles happen: miracles of beauty or miracles of stunning effective design that cover people’s basic living needs and more, all created innovatively by people who have never given up hope. Their roads to success or survival were never easy. I hope you immensely enjoy reading this issue about those amazing creators and the organizations and themasterpieces standing behind them, which stand as souvenirs of their minds, reflecting the time in which we live. I would like to thank all of those creators for their cooperation, for helping to produce such an exciting Eyes in issue, and for allowing us a glimpse into their masterpieces – a peek into their insightful minds and souls. I wish these creators the best in their continued efforts to create hope and inspiration for all of us: Make it Right Foundation and Brad Pitt, the film A Perfect Life by Chad Ruin, Photographer Brent Townshend, Designer Satyendra Pakhalé, Fashion Designer and Actress Sinne Mutsaers, Photographer Alex Guofeng, Jewelry Designer Crystal Streets, Culinary Arts Chef Andy Nusser, Honda’s ASIMO Robot, Author Elizabeth Bard, Artist and Designer Marilène Oliver, twin brother Architects Matthew and Daniel Tobin, Artist KarimHamid, Fashion Designer TimoWeiland, the creators of the One&Only resorts, Artihove’s innovative and artistic entrepreneurs Aad and Jelle van Dijk, and Jungle Gentle Giants book author Pamphil Kin.
