If a man speaks his mind in a forest, and no woman hears him, is he still wrong?

Being wrong doesn't mean being creative - but if you aren't afraid of being wrong, you can't be creative.

One of the enemies of creativity and innovation, especially in relation to our own development, is common sense.

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

Human communities depend upon a diversity of talent not a singular conception of ability. and at the heart of the challenge is to reconstitute our sense of ability and intelligence

We have to go from what is essentially an industrial model of education, a manufacturing model, which is based on linearity and conformity and batching people. We have to move to a model that is based more on principles of agriculture. We have to recognize that human flourishing is not a mechanical process; it's an organic process. And you cannot predict the outcome of human development. All you can do, like a farmer, is create the conditions under which they will begin to flourish.

To be creative you actually have to do something.
