Creativity

I was listening to an address titled “Do schools kill creativity?” by Ken Robinson, in Monterey, CA, 2006
The following quote really made me think about how prepared I am to be wrong, about how much I risk, and how aggressively I try to come up with original ideas.
-
“If you’re not prepared to be wrong, you will never come up with any original thought.”
He clarified it by saying,
-
“This is not to say that being wrong is the same as being creative. You just need to be prepared to be wrong.”
Very interesting.
By the way, I have become a big fan of StumbleUpon. That’s how I found the video I refer to above. It gives you somewhat random websites that are based on the interests that you select when you set up your free account.
It’s very easy to get started. Just follow the link and start “stumbling”.
