My thought on creativity is that is that there are no rules; creativity has no restrictions other than the emphasis on originality and quality.
“Creative people are committed to risk. The creative person always walks two steps into the darkness. Everybody can see what’s in the light…the real heroes delve in the dark.”- says Steve Dunleavy, a journalist best known as a columnist for the New York Post. The life of a creative soul is a lifetime filled with the desire to innovate; to explore new ways of doing things, to bring dreams of reality. It comes with this ability to recognize a creative person even without an introduction.
