“There are two principles for creative success - one general and one definitive. The general principle is that everyone has the ability to be creative and make a big difference in this world. The definitive principle is that almost everyone has volunteered to be exempt from the general principle.” WorldInspirationalTwoBigsDifferencesAbilityPrinciplesCreativeThis WorldBe Creative Author:Ernie J Zelinski
“A key difference between a dialogue and an ordinary discussion is that, within the latter people usually hold relatively fixed positions and argue in favor of their views as they try to convince others to change. At best this may produce agreement or compromise, but it does not give rise to anything creative.” PeopleGivingTryingMayDoeDifferencesViewsCreativePositionProduceKeysOrdinaryArguingFavorsDialogueCompromiseDiscussionFixedConvinceLatterAgreement Author:David

“Advocating the mere tolerance of difference between women is the grossest reformism. it is a total denial of the creative function of difference in our lives. Difference must be not merely toleration, but seen as a fund of necessary polarities between which our creativity can spark like a dialectic. Only then does the necessity for interdependency become unthreatening. Only within the interdependency of different strengths, acknowledged and equal, can the power to seek new ways of being in the world generate, as well as the courage and sustenance to act where there are no charters” WorldWayWellsDoeDifferentDifferencesCreativityCreativeOur LivesEqualFunctionMereToleranceDenialFundSparksNew WaysAdvocatingCharterSustenanceTolerationDialecticsPolarity Author:Audre Lorde

“The whole difference between a man of genius and other men, it has been said a thousand times, and most truly, is that the first remains in great part a child, seeing with the large eyes of children, in perpetual wonder, not conscious of much knowledge--conscious, rather of infinite ignorance, and yet infinite power; a fountain of eternal admiration, delight, and creative force within him meeting the ocean of visible and governable things around him.” MenFirstsChildrenHas BeensSaidWholeEyeForceDifferencesWonderCreativeSeeingIgnoranceGeniusThousandOceanEternalConsciousInfiniteRemainsMeetingsDelightVisibleAdmirationPerpetualFountainInfinite PowerEyes Of A Child Book:The Stones of Venice Source: The Stones of Venice

“Of course, you don't have to have a degree to be rich. You just have to have ideas. Maybe having a degree sets you back, for it stuffs you into tick-tock [the daily grind of work], and perhaps that stifles your creative mind. But the fact is that many millionaires have few educational qualifications of any kind at all. However, they still have knowledge. The difference is, they have knowledge they can sell, and others have the "common knowledge" of tick-tock, which isn't worth as much, if anything at all.” IfsMindKindStillsIdeasFactsCoursesStuffDifferencesCommonKnowledgeCreativeRichDegreesSellsEducationalMillionaireGrindQualificationsTickCreative MindCommon KnowledgeDaily GrindTockTick Tock Author:Stuart Wilde
“As we progress along the intercultural journey, we become self-reflective about habits of heart and mind and the ways these are expressed in daily life. We develop strategies for encountering change, unfamiliarity and ambiguity in creative ways. We begin to realize that what is taken, as "common sense" is really "cultural sense". Our life becomes richer and deeper for having encountered differences.” WayMindHeartSelfCultureRealizingDifferencesCommonCreativeTakenOur LivesProgressJourneyHabitStrategyDeeperCommon SenseDaily LifeHeart And MindAmbiguityIntercultural Author:H.
