Creativity may be hard to nurture, but it's easy to thwart.

Procrastinating is a vice when it comes to productivity, but it can be a virtue for creativity.

Technique can be taught, the energy and creativity that moulds into that pattern cannot

Creativity is more than just being different. Anybody can plan weird; that's easy. What's hard is to be as simple as Bach. Making the simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity.

Creativity is generating ideas that are novel and useful. I define originals as people who go beyond dreaming up the ideas and take initiative to make their visions a reality.

Originals are nonconformists, people who not only have new ideas but take action to champion them. They are people who stand out and speak up. Originals drive creativity and change in the world. They're the people you want to bet on.
