 She was a partner in a business that made plastic frames, doll house furniture,
and a few toys. The little company was called Mattel. But everything changed in
1951 when Ruth Handler (right) observed her daughter Barbara pretending that paper dolls
were grown-ups. Ruth had the idea for a grown-up doll which she called Barbie in
honor of her daughter. To date, well over a billion Barbie Dolls have been sold ,
but even Mattel can’t say for sure how many are still in circulation. And the
Mattel Corporation grew to become the largest toy maker in the world.
Ruth Handler proved that good ideas are everywhere; we can even get them from
our kids. So keep your eyes open for that one great idea that can change
your world. When you do, you’ll discover that ideas and opportunities are like
Barbie Dolls: they’re simply too numerous to count.

one thing needful for him."

security."
