“The great enemy of creativity is fear. When we're fearful, we freeze up - like a nine-year-old who won't draw pictures, for fear everybody will laugh. Creativity has a lot to do with a willingness to take risks. Think about how children play. They run around the playground, they trip, they fall, they get up and run some more. They believe everything will be all right. They feel capable; they let go. Good businesspeople behave in a similar way: they lose $15 million, gain $20 million, lose $30 million and earn it back. If that isn't playing, I don't know what is!” IfsThinkingKnowsWayFeelsYearsBelieveChildrenPlayRunningFallFearLosesEnemyCreativityMillionsLaughingRiskLetting GoCapableDrawsGainsNineGet UpBehaveWillingnessFearfulFreezePlaygroundsNine YearsGood BusinessChildren Playing Author:Faith Ringgold
“Tears are tears, but I don't want to draw tears that aren't proactive. The feeling "Ahh, it's so sad" when people die and it's all over, it doesn't feel quite right. Even though a lot of people died in Gintama. Even if people die, it's not the end. I don't want to draw tears that fall and stay at the same place, but droplets that sprinkle along the road to one's future.” PeopleIfsWantFeelsEndsFeelingsDiesFallTearsDrawsDiedOver ItProactiveSo SadSprinklesDroplets Author:Hideaki Sorachi
