As someone passionate about creativity I've spent much time exploring the subject and many authors' ideas. E. Paul Torrance was acclaimed as one of the main experts. One day I came by this piece. I got impressed by it, printed it and pasted it on my work table. Whenever I was kind of upset, reading it and dreaming it's absolutely true used to energize me.
I don't any more work at the same office, but I have since had in mind I should recover this piece and have it always at hand. I believe in it nowadays more than ever before and today is the day I recover it for this blog.
