Little Coloured Bricks

Lego is one of the most popular toys today and it has been this popular since the first plastic brick was produced but what do young professionals remember about Lego now that it has been years since they held the little coloured bricks? For today’s 25 to 30 year olds, Lego is far from their minds, just a figment of their memories -at least for some. For others however, Lego is still a form of entertainment and inspiration.

One Lego lover from Virginia said, “It inspired me to build things and now I am an engineer. I do not know how one would connect that to my fascination with Lego but I think I was honed by the toy when I was young.” The statement is truly inspiring and but not many share this kind of enthusiasm since most young professionals today are focused on their career but as they say,” All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”

Nathan Sawaya is one great example who have intermingled work and play by making Lego art. The lawyer-turned-Lego-builder is now a certified Lego professional and makes millions out of his “playtime”.

Ralph Mckenzie, a graduate of Political Science said, “I remember playing with Legos when I was 7. My mother bought me boxes and boxes of them and I literally built anything I wanted to build without paying any attention to the instructions. Lego is fascinating and it never gets old. I still have my old Lego blocks and I hope to add more to the collection.”

Although many have forgotten how fun it is to play with Lego blocks, many still reminisce about their very first Lego collection.

Adult fans of the little plastic bricks are growing and there are myriad of sites that only talk about the bricks making it extremely popular in all parts of the globe. It seems that the bricks will continue to be an inspiration to children and adults alike.
