Creativity Makes the Difference

Kids learn a lot of things at school. But it's creativity that makes the difference.

The difference between a successful, happy life...or a boring, task-oriented one.

The device you're reading this on? Creative people had to design it. They didn't teach anyone how to make iPhones and Androids in school. 

The chair you might be sitting in? Creative people had to design that, too. They didn't teach chair construction in school. And even if they did, a chair that's exactly like every other chair is worthless.

The house you live in? Anyone can put up some walls and a roof. But it's the creative architects that create the homes people want to live in.

The job you go to every day? A creative leader had to structure the business to make it thrive and take care of its people. They don't teach that in school.

In fact, many argue that business school teaches some of the worst practices known to man these days.

Everyone needs to learn the basics. Facts, figures, and formulas have their place. But it's creativity that wins the job, gets the promotion, or starts the business.

It's creativity that changes the world.
