The Power of Ideas

 Ideas are everywhere around us.

An idea is like a seed, if you water it, give it sunlight, and nurture it, it will grow.  

You can choose to plant the seed, will you?

TOMS: The One for One shoe everyone loves

One shoe that has recently increased in popularity by shoe-lovers all around is TOMS. TOMS (an abbreviation for tomorrow) was founded in 2006, and has stated that for every pair of TOMS shoes sold, they will give one to a child in need (one for one). The company has expanded to not only selling the classic, versatile, alpagarta slip on shoe, but now also sells boots and cordones (oxfords) for both men and women. I think that this company has a great idea, but is it really worth the price? Yes, because you are buying the shoes one goes to a child in need, but are the shoes really worth it? Contrary to what some stores may tell you, TOMS actually do go on sale, especially the seasonal ones. Try waiting a few weeks before you purchase the ones you see on display and you might get a good deal. However, in spite of the value, with the increase in popularity and the introduction of new styles, TOMS won’t be going anywhere for a while.
