interesting people done
Up to a point you welcome being interrupted because it is only by interacting with other people that you get anything interesting done.
creativity thinking people
Creativity is as important as literacy and numeracy, and I actually think people understand that creativity is important - they just don't understand what it is.
creativity giving people
You can't just give someone a creativity injection. You have to create an environment for curiosity and a way to encourage people and get the best out of them.
creativity people creative
Helping people to connect with their personal creative capacities is the surest way to release the best they have to offer.

anybody conditions flowers gardener good grows job learn leaves optimal paint provide stick
Nobodoy can make anybody else learn anything. You can't make them.Any more than if you are a gardener you make flowers grow. You don't make the flowers grow. You don't stick the petals on the leaves and paint it. The flower grows itself. Your job if you are any good at it, is to provide the optimal conditions for growth.
constantly instead run vulnerable whittle
That is when they become most vulnerable -- when they are on the run -- because they can't plan, they can't coordinate, they can't rehearse, and if you constantly keep them on the run, you can whittle them down instead of them whittling you down.
children careers balance
Our task is to educate our children's whole being so they can face the future and make something of it. To achieve this we need to balance education for careers with education for twenty-first century life.
past done next
What you're doing now, or have done in the past, need not determine what you can do next and in the future.
