Paradoxes of creativity


To create, a person must
  • Have knowledge but forget the knowledge;
  • See unexpected connections in things but not have a mental disorder;
  • Work hard but spend time doing nothing;
  • Create many ideas yet most of them are useless;
  • Look at the same thing as everyone else, yet see something different;
  • Desire success but learn how to fail;
  • Be persistent but not stubborn; and,
  • Listen to experts but know how to disregard them.
  • Get passionate about the idea and throw yourself into it while at the same time staying detached in case it doesn't take off (or even for that matter gets taken over by a collective - stronger - force later on...)
  • Learn how to fail is to me, a life on its way to success.
