To be creative you actually have to do something.

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.

Human life is inherently creative. It's why we all have different résumés. … It's why human culture is so interesting and diverse and dynamic.

Most people didn't pursue their passions simply because of the promise of a paycheck. They pursued them because they couldn't imagine doing anything else with their lives.

These powers of imagination and creativity are among the few things that set us apart from the rest of life on Earth. But they make all the difference.

I believe this passionately: that we don't grow into creativity, we grow out of it. Or rather, we get educated out if it.

Passion is the driver of achievement in all fields. Some people love doing things they don't feel they're good at. That may be because they underestimate their talents or haven't yet put the work in to develop them.
