Marconi invented Radio but he never listened to FM songs and RJs funny jokes, we did. Mozart created timeless musical notes but he never got royalty, many composers across world who copied him made millions. Shakespeare wrote plays which will last till humans last but he never got an Oscar for original screenplay, many others who simply changed the names and settings have cupboards filled of awards. Lata ji sang songs which are product of pure devotion to art of singing but she never made it to Mirchi chartbusters, Neha Kakkar made to those charts by remixing her songs. Tesla innovated so many things but died a pauper and was called an insane person while alive, and now a company named after him has made its owner world's richest man.
Point is that creaters and innovaters seldom get the financial benefits and fame during their lifetime. Still they do their work so that others which include lesser mortals like us can reap the benfit. If you are among the ones reaping the benefits, be grateful to the ones who sow the seed. And if you are among those who are blessed to have the creativity and innovation spark among themselves, don't wait for applauds and applause to come your way, it won't come either. That's how it has been so far and not going to change any time soon. We only can pay respect to you on world creativity and innovation day.
