Steve Jobs defined design first in relation to operation and not appearance, so it is not difficult to understand his successes for so many years. Form and substance must tell their genesis from the very same creative moment.

Einstein said it and I repeat it every time I can: “creativity is intelligence having fun”. For this reason, I firmly believe in the power of the state of mind in which one creates, generates ideas and comes up with proposals.

In the last few months that we have dedicated time to the Costa Rican Way, or as it has also come to be known, the Country Project, we are excited to see what happens when we apply the idea of designing integrally from the first moment.

From all that we have learned, we will probably have many ideas for proposals and projects to add. However, I would bet an eyebrow that fewer ideas will bring a reduction or elimination approach. As in the case of Apple, there will be more than a few of us who, having learned from Jobs and his team, will set out to simplify, without fear of reducing or eliminating.

I believe deeply in the capacity of people, whose potential is multiplied in a secure environment of economic and political freedom. The less we expect or need from government, the more we can accelerate our path to a balanced life of purpose and balance. What we have come to call the good life.

In the meantime, the role of government needs to be redesigned, as I might think it has become large, cumbersome, inoperative and over-regulatory. This, of course, is not written by any expert, but by someone who has worked for more than 30 years without expecting anything from the state.

The effort that has begun could become a social phenomenon of transformative scope. Let us hope that it will be so, broad and participatory, because we can also agree that if the country does well, we will be able to play better in the competitions of life.

I invite you to participate, to add your ideas, to be one more piece that makes its contribution. The site is just a click away at www.via.cr, where thousands of Costa Ricans are already adding their proposals.

Here I leave you with a summary of the proposal called the Costa Rican Way, to redesign the country.
