motivational creativity thinking
You can think of creativity as applied imagination.
creativity thinking imagination
Creativity, as I see it, is the process of putting your imagination to work. It's been defined rather simply as applied imagination. That's not a bad way to think about it.
creativity thinking ideas
We think about the world in all ways we experience it ; we think visually, we think in sign, we think kinesthetically, we think in abstract term, we think in movement. Creativity is the process of having original ideas that have value.
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.
school thinking keys
It is often said that education and training are the keys to the future. They are, but a key can be turned in two directions. Turn it one way and you lock resources away, even from those they belong to. Turn it the other way and you release resources and give people back to themselves. To realize our true creative potential-in our organizations, in our schools and in our communities-we need to think differently about ourselves and to act differently towards each other. We must learn to be creative.
running thinking engineering
If you're running an engineering or finance company, all companies depend on ideas and ingenuity. I think the principles of creative leadership apply everywhere, whether it's an advertising company or whether you're running a hospital.
children thinking class
You don’t think of Shakespeare being a child, do you? Shakespeare being seven? He was seven at some point. He was in somebody’s English class, wasn’t he? How annoying would that be?
children school thinking
All children start their school careers with sparkling imaginations, fertile minds, and a willingness to take risks with what they think,
educational thinking ideas
Somewhere in, I think, the back of the mind of some [education] policy makers is this idea that if we fine-tune it well enough, if we just get it right, it will all hum along perfectly into the future. It won't, and it never did.
school thinking people
Many highly talented, brilliant, creative people think they’re not — because the thing they were good at at school wasn’t valued, or was actually stigmatized.
anyone coordinate exact gotten grid reported
Had anyone reported this -- had we reported it, or had it gotten out -- it would have enabled them to know that they had the exact grid coordinate they needed.
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.
