“AN ESSENTIAL ASPECT OF CREATIVITY IS NOT BEING AFRAID TO FAIL”

Polaroid began with a simple question from a 3 year old girl, "Why can't I see it?" The "it" she was referring to was the photo her father had just taken of her. Her father just happened to be Dr. Edwin Land and 5 years later, in 1948, the first polaroid cameras hit the shelves. Within a decade it became a worldwide icon.
