I've always been considered a creative guy. While working in sales, I enjoyed solving tricky problems by going into a conference and fill up a whiteboard (occasionally more than one) in order to develop a solution. I sense that my grandchildren don't appreciate the need for creativity or in fact know how to use creativity. I don't think they understand that creativity unlocks new ideas, innovations, and solutions. It's thinking outside the box and seeing things in a different light. It's an important skill for artists, designers, entrepreneurs, scientists, and problem solvers. However, to be creative they must realize it involves risks and, oftentimes, failure. Failure, to creative people, is a learning experience that can lead to success.
