Most Brilliance Arises From Ordinary People Working

It's Difficult To Get Your Creative Juices Flowing If You're Always Being Practical, Following Rules, Afraid To Make Mistakes, Not Looking Into Outside Areas, Or Under The Influence Of Any Of The Other Mental Locks.

We Grow Up Thinking That The Best Answer Is In Someone Else's Brain. Much Of Our Education Is An Elaborate Game Of 'guess What's In The Teacher's Head?' What The World Really Needs To Know Right Now Is What Kind Of Dreams And Ideas Are In Your Head.

The Hallmark Of Creative People Is Their Mental Flexibility... Sometimes They Are Open And Probing, At Others They're Playful And Off-the-wall. At Still Other Times, They're Critical And Faultfinding. And Finally They're Doggedly Persistent In Striving To Reach Their Goals.

Am I Getting Lazy? Am I Too Busy? Am I Becoming Arrogant? Am I Getting Timid? If You Answer 'yes' To Any One Of These Questions, That's Your Warning To Kick That Attitude!

It's Easy To Come Up With New Ideas; The Hard Part Is Letting Go Of What Worked For You Two Years Ago, But Will Soon Be Out-of-date.
