Really enjoyed this post so much so that I did go and find the issue. Did you notice the article after the creativity one was titled "Are You Normal"? Coincidence? :-D Have a great one! Hi David.

Every time I hear it I die just a little bit inside."We are going to do it this way because it is the way we have always done it." I’d add one more.

“We are going to do it this way because it is the way we have always done it.”

On a show I sometimes watch, I saw a sign that reads, "Fail Fast, Succeed Sooner." If we are afraid of failing, we will never achieve any sort of success...and THAT, my friend, is Failure (with a capital F). I like your recommendation to break the rules...to invite failure without fearing it. Some of the greatest discoveries in this world are the result of some sort of failure (eg. penecillin).

We are often too heavily invested in doing things the "right" way. I think I began to realize just how much when our children were learning new programs on the Mac. I don't know how many times I bit my tongue as I started to caution them to wait and learn to do it the right way. Their results were inevitably more creative and they learned a great deal more than I did in my class. I'm also learning to challenge myself when I think I "must" "should" or "need" to do something.Cute Monkey, ...I'm imagining the contest you might have with him for who could make the best VisionMonger face. :) I love your “what if?” definition of creativity.
