•When one works from the premise of creativity one
becomes very accepting and that helps. We realise that
creativity is not just a visually appealing painting,
a pep piece of music, but something that is more
fundamental, more pervasive, daily, ….. A
thinking process, a way of life

•Genuine ignorance is... profitable
•because it is likely to be accompanied by humility, curiosity, and open mindedness;
•whereas ability to repeat catch-phrases, cant terms, familiar propositions, gives the conceit of learning and coats the mind with varnish waterproof to new ideas.
