The Essence of Creativity

If you've ever watched a child with a cardboard carton and a box of crayons create a spaceship with cool control panels, or listened to their improvised rules, such as "Red cars can jump all others," then you know that this impulse to make a toy do more is at the heart of innovative childhood play. It is also the essence of creativity." ~ Bill Gates

Don't Stop Playing

"We do not stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing." ~ unknown

Opinions
