You wake up with a feeling of a breeze gently touching your skin . Then with a lot of things to do , you slowly start to climb through the hollow tree in which you have spent the night . Your eyes dazzle because of the sunlight . Your skin starts to warm up as the sun ’ s purifying lights reach you . After a while you get rid of your drowsiness and start chopping down a very large tree for the construction of your shelter . With each hit , you hear tree leaves rustle . With the last hit , the only bird which doesn ’ t leave the tree flies away . As the tree ’ s enormous trunks start falling down , you quickly change your position and look proudly at what you have just done . Congratulations , you have managed to beat the nature once again . After your victory , you realize that you are extremely hungry because of the hard work you put in . You decide to go to your everyday beehive to eat some honey . As you go near the beehive and start eating honey from honeycombs , something grabs your attention . The durability and productivity of honeycombs amaze you . Suddenly , an inspiration storms into your brain . You decide to apply the same thing bees did for their shelter to your shelter . The hexagon shape : it allows for efficient use of material , making the most of the available resources and minimizing waste . Without wasting time , you go back to your construction and start changing the shape . With the last plank you put onto your shelter , it fills you with peace and you think about something : Maybe nature is not a rival for us , it ’ s just there to help and inspire .
Since we set foot on the surface of the earth , we are searching and creating things to make our lives easier . In this journey of comfort and development , the biggest supporter behind us is mother nature herself . She has supported us at every step for the advancement of humanity . We can ’ t think humanity and our history without thinking about nature and its gifts . Since the Stone Age we have gathered information from our environment and this environment is the biggest thing that has inspired us . It sometimes puts obstacles in front of us . But these obstacles have only caused us to be able to be more powerful and inspire from them . Don ’ t forget that all the biggest inventions are found when there is a problem . In conclusion ; the ultimate inspiration is nature , its nature and always will be .
