Around here we don’t look backwards for very long…We keep moving forward,
opening up new doors and doing new things because we’re
curious, and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

The real voyage ofconsists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes. Marcel Proust
consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
Creativity is just connecting things.
When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and
SYNTHESIZE new things.
- Steve Jobs, 1995
An idea is nothing more or less than a new combination of old elements.

The most successful
Imagineers are those who see “this is new to
me” as an opportunity, not
a barrier. Josh Gorin
They are willing to go outside their comfort zone
in the interest of expanding their horizons
and gaining new perspectives.

FAILURE isn’t a necessary evil. In FACT, it isn’t EVIL at all.
It is a NECESSARY consequence of doing
something NEW. - Ed Catmull
Get great creative people. Bet big on them.Give them enormous leeway and support.Provide them with an environment in which they can get honest feedback from everyone.
PIXAR’S PHILOSOPHY
http://www.fanpop.com/clubs/wall-e/images/6412320/title/wall-e-wallpaper-wallpaper
“If something works, you shouldn’t do it again. We want to do something that is new, original — something where there’s a good chance of failure.”
“The attempt to avoid failure makes failure more likely.
Trying to avoid failure by
out-thinking it dooms you
to fail.”

I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask
a fairy godmother to endow it with the
most useful gift, that gift should be
curiosity.
