All children start their school careers with sparkling imaginations, fertile minds, and a willingness to take risks with what they think.

When my son, James, was doing homework for school, he would have five or six windows open on his computer, Instant Messenger was flashing continuously, his cell phone was constantly ringing, and he was downloading music and watching the TV over his shoulder. I don’t know if he was doing any homework, but he was running an empire as far as I could see, so I didn’t really care.

What you're doing now, or have done in the past, need not determine what you can do next and in the future.

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.

What we become as our lives evolve depends on the quality of our experiences here and now.

Imagination is the source of all human achievement.

You can be creative in anything - in math, science, engineering, philosophy - as much as you can in music or in painting or in dance.
