DAY 1 – Red Rubber Ball
Kevin Carroll – speaker extraordinaire – explained how a red rubber ball made a difference his life . . . in fact, “play saved my life,” he said. Abandoned by two neglectful parents, he and his brothers were taken in by his grandparents. A stranger in a new culture, he found an abandoned red rubber ball and began to play by himself. After watching him play alone for awhile, he was invited by the local children to “come play with us.” He found a community – and that made all the difference. Today, he travels around the world to profess the power of sports and play. 
What are you chasing?” he asked the toymakers in the audience. “What inspires you to come to work every day?”
In his travels, Carroll said that he has witnessed play in every corner of the world. As toymakers, we are “purveyors of play,” he said. “What a huge responsibility you all have.”
He encouraged attendees to continue to be creative. To be imaginative. And to be more clever.
Like Kevin’s grandfather told him: “you gotta want to be better . . . you gotta want to be unique . . . and you gotta want to be special.”
After sharing some of his (varying sizes) red rubber balls, Kevin shared highlights of his “red rubber ball” book series:
1. Commit to it. Passion. Purpose. You set the objective.
2. Seek out encouragers. They’ll always ask: “Well, why not?”
3. Work out your creative muscles. Resign from adulthood. Become an 8 year old again. Be the purveyors of play.
4. Prepare to shine. Every day is an opportunity to live out our life’s work.
5. Speak Up. Play and sports are transformational. Raise your voices to speak up on behalf of it.
6. Expect the unexpected. Capture your red rubber ball.
7. Maximize the day. 86,400 seconds to make something happen and capture magic. Bring it forth.
His last thought for ToyCon attendees: "Uncork your bottle of magic." 
Following a standing ovation, Kevin signed copies of his latest book, The Red Rubber Ball at Work. Thanks to the Dallas Market Center for providing complimentary copies of the book!

It's the best time to make a few plans for the longer term and it's time to be
happy. I've learn this post and if I could I desire to suggest you few attention-grabbing issues or advice. Maybe you can write subsequent articles referring to this article. I want to learn more things about it!
