before the finals, 
I will share this with you

At Kevin Correls exhibition in Portland he ask: What´s your red rubber ball?!

D'wayne Edwards gave me Kevins book: Rules of the Red rubber ball, the first time we meet in New York back in 2011.

That's a long time ago but I have thought about the question.

Today I know what my "Red rubber ball" is, and it has taken me far.

This exhibition was full of 

little boxes 

Behind every box was a person who had found his "Red rubber ball" and additionally virtualized his life, values ​​and personality in a small box.

Here are some pictures from the exhibition 

and 

please do yourself the favor and read (or look) though the book of Kevin Carroll

Now he is the founder of the first Footwear Academy in the U.S. and work with several schools and businesses throughout the world. His red rubber ball is a pencil

D; If it was not for you had my life the last few years been quite different. You have taught me to dream big and helped me in realizing those dreams. Looking forward to we meet again and thank you for this incredible experience! - Iben
