"Given the freedom to create, everybody is creative. All of us have an innate, instinctive desire to change our environment, to put our original stamp on this world, to tell a story never told before. I’m absolutely thrilled at the moment of creativity – when suddenly I’ve synthesized my experiences, reality, and my imagination into something entirely new. But most people are too busy working on survival to find the opportunity to create. Fortunately, I’ve been freed by reputation, by the economics of success, and by emotional contentment to turn my ideas into reality. I’ve discovered that the more freedom I have to be creative, the more creative I become."
- William Shatner, Up Till Now

"Creativity is not the finding of a thing, but the making something out of it after it is found."
- James Russell Lowell

"Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought."
- Albert Szent-Györgyi

"Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not."
- Pablo Picasso

#MainMessageForToday
Creative people have ideas that are different from everybody else's and attempt things others do not want to touch.

Creativity usually means seeing things in a different light (with fresh eyes).....
