Creativity is the process of having original ideas that have value. It is a process; it's not random.
You create your life, and you can recreate it, too. In times of economic downturn and uncertainty, it's more important than ever to look deep inside yourself to fathom the sort of life you really want to lead and the talents and passions that can make that possible.
You can be creative in anything - in math, science, engineering, philosophy - as much as you can in music or in painting or in dance.
Human resources are like natural resources; they're often buried deep. You have to go looking for them; they're not just lying around on the surface.
There's a wealth of talent that lies in all of us. All of us, including those who work in schools, must nurture creativity systematically and not kill it unwittingly.
You can't just give someone a creativity injection. You have to create an environment for curiosity and a way to encourage people and get the best out of them.

If you're running an engineering or finance company, all companies depend on ideas and ingenuity. I think the principles of creative leadership apply everywhere, whether it's an advertising company or whether you're running a hospital.
The answer is not to standardize education, but to personalize and customize it to the needs of each child and community. There is no alternative. There never was.
I believe this passionately: that we don't grow into creativity, we grow out of it. Or rather, we get educated out if it.
Ketika mengerjakan sesuatu yang dicintai dan dikuasai, kita mungkin merasa terpusat pada pribadi kita yang sejati dan menjadi diri sendiri.
