As we were preparing to enter the new year, we asked our creative community to share with us their aspirations and intentions for 2019. We have been humbled by their response coming from all over the world. This presentation features some highlights, as they were submitted by our community members.

« A small stone asked its mother: “Mom, what
can we do for the world? We are small and
neglected." Its mother replied: “Yes, you are
right, son.
We are small, invisible and often neglected. We
are also different from one another. But when
we are united, we can form a building that is
big, majestic, beautiful and useful. People will
admire it and take shelter below to protect
themselves from the weather."
So are our ideas. They are small, but when they
are united, they can create a big creative
innovation that is useful for human life. »

« Every year we celebrate Earth Day, during
which we are particularly careful about
electricity consumption, animals and nature
around us... But this only happens during one
day.
2019 should be Earth Year when we think of our
planet every day for 365 days.
In 2019, we should use creativity to find new
ways to develop products that do not harm the
environment, new means of transport and new
ways to move towards a more sustainable
future. »

« For me, 2019 will be the year of action.
Rather than saying, why not #JustDoIt?
#NoProcrastination to do more creative things.
Sharing positive and creative ideas, to make the
world a better place. »

« In 2019, I suggest we take inspiration from
some of the great people in the world. Whether
that is John Lennon or Martin Luther King, let’s
take inspiration from them and actually put it
into practice. They had great things to say and
we should celebrate that. »

«The world is full of surprises. We keep finding
new ways to be creative, with inventions that we
never imagined possible. My hope for the world
in 2019 is to embrace the milestones of the past
to gain new inspiration. »

« In 2019, I want to toast to a greater equality of
opportunities – where we can all dream and
make our dreams come true, without any
condition other than Being Human. »

« Confucius said: “Everything has beauty, but
not everyone sees it.”
In 2019 I aspire to share my creativity with
people and inspire them. »

« Think about it: we learned how to regulate the
temperature in our houses, cars and offices, but
we are still unable to do that for the planet.
2019 should be the year of global mobilization
against climate change and global warming. »

« My wish for the world in 2019 is to be more
present in the here and now! Let everyone look
more at the rain and sunset and less at the
screen of the cell phone.
I wish for happiness to be a priority in each
one's heart, for more smiles for children and
dogs than for social networks, and that people
are grateful for the simple fact that they exist. »

« Here at eÿeka we are a large creative
community that changes this world for the
better. We are ideas that create the Future!
In 2019 I will continue to improve. Only by
changing yourself can you change the world. »

« Money, technology, even knowledge and
information are not the most valuable things
anymore. It is human communication that
affects quality of life, work efficiency and
longevity.
My goal for 2019 is to help improve
communications between people. »

« I hope that in 2019 my design can contribute
more to solving social issues and serving
people. Today there are too many things to
change, battles to wage and designers, more
than ever, have the responsibility to let words
and images play their power.
Design is no longer a set of techniques and
tools, it has become the way to reach a better
life for everyone. »

« My aspiration for 2019 is for everybody to be
inspired by the people around them.
Through our creativity and ideas, we can inspire
people to be more creative themselves, more
sustainable, and to appreciate what life has
given them, even if it is not much. »

15. Samira-Rafi

« I hope for a more sustainable life in 2019! The
creative process could take into consideration
the environment, the climate and the well-being
of everyone on this Earth. We should all think &
act responsibly for the Earth & the Universe.”

« Every single person in this universe is unique.
As a matter of fact, no single inspiration could
be applied to everyone. What might inspire one
person might not inspire another.
The year 2019 could be the year where we
celebrate these unique differences together. »

« In 2019, I plan to continue participating
actively on eyeka. This is a unique creative
platform where you can meet creative people of
any age from all countries of the world.
Our creative ideas materialize in events and
objects, they spread across the planet ... Our
Ideas Change the WORLD! I hope to make a
small contribution for a good cause! »

« A year is short, and I don’t want to waste time
in 2019. My shortlist is: With technology and
science, we have overcome many discomforts
and diseases. Today, more than ever, we know
about nearly everything, we are more
connected than ever. Let us use this advantage
to learn from each other. We must consider our
successes more than our failures. Let us
sincerely think about the common good. Let us
reward honesty, generosity and respect...
We are free, as Art is free. »
