I find this article very "inspiring" and true:

http://www.sott.net/articles/show/240201-Twelve-Things-You-Were-Not-Taught-in-School-About-Creative-Thinking

And actually I see this happen to even this group and people that promote the ideas this group does, opposition. It's fun to read this quote, already well put:     Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.
        Sir Winston Churchill

What do you thing about this? have you worked your creativity? do you believe you have creativity?
"Men... have had the vanity to pretend that the world creation was made for them, whilst in reality the whole creation does not suspect their existence."
 
 "Indeed, there is nothing super-natural in nature. There is only the unknown: but what was unknown yesterday becomes the truth of tomorrow”.

— Camille Flammarion

This is very good, at the end of the article:
Quote
Creativity is paradoxical. To create, a person must have knowledge but forget the knowledge, must see unexpected connections in things but not have a mental disorder, must work hard but spend time doing nothing as information incubates, must create many ideas yet most of them are useless, must look at the same thing as everyone else, yet see something different, must desire success but embrace failure, must be persistent but not stubborn, and must listen to experts but know how to disregard them.
Let's be creative minded !
Yesterday is the memory of today and tomorrow is its dream. Use the present to repair the past and prepare for the future
Khalil Gibran + Gurdjieff

The main question should always be, how can you demonstrate to the universe that you are of service and useful?

The mystery of creativity:

"Creativity is paradoxical. To create, a person must have knowledge, but forget the knowledge, must see unexpected connections in things but not have a mental disorder, must work hard but spend time doing nothing as information incubates, must create many ideas yet most of them are useless, must look at the same things as everyone else, yet see something different, must desire success but embrace failure, must be persistent but not stubborn, and must listen to experts but know how to disregard them."


The greatest opportunity for self-improvement is a moment of adversity followed by the willingness to absorb the lesson.
