The hallmark of creative people is their mental flexibility... sometimes they are open and probing, at others they're playful and off-the-wall. at still other times, they're critical and faultfinding. and finally they're doggedly persistent in striving to reach their goals.

More From Roger Von Oech

This creative mechanism within you is impersonal. it will work automatically and impersonally to achieve goals of success and happiness, or unhappiness and failure, depending upon the goals which you yourself set for it. present it with success goals and it functions as a success mechanism. present it with negative goals, and it operates just as impersonally, and just as faithfully as a failure mechanism.

It's sort of a mental attitude about critical thinking and curiosity. it's about mindset of looking at the world in a playful and curious and creative way.
Attitude Thinking Creative
A positive mental attitude is the right mental attitude. what is the right mental attitude? it is most often comprised of the "plus" characteristics symbolized by such words as faith, integrity, hope, optimism, courage, initiative, generosity, tolerance, tact, kindliness, and good common sense. a person with positive mental attitude aims for high goals and constantly strives to achieve them.

Perhaps it would have been possible to see in him a new prometheus...the hero who for the good of mankind exposes himself to the agonies of the damned...undaunted by failure, by an unceasing effort of courage holding despair at bay, doggedly persistent in the face of self-doubt, which is the artist's bitterest enemy.

I sleep during the day. i still dream about drinking and drugs. sometimes i wake to a hang-over, sometimes i wake to a trickle of blood from my nose, sometimes i wake scared and shaking. i read, go to museums and visit lilly in the afternoon. sometimes i read to her, sometimes i talk to her, sometimes i just sit and remember the times, remember the times, remember the times." (james frey, pg.119)

My generation has not seen one single day of peace, and my dream is for my children and the children of all colombians to have the change to see it. i hope the guerrilla understands that the time has come to leave this 50-year confrontation behind; that the time has come to change from bullets to votes, from weapons to argumentations; that the time has come for them to continue their struggle, but within democracy.
