If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.
The key question isn't What fosters creativity? But it is why in God's name isn't everyone creative? Where was the human potential lost? How was it crippled? I think therefore a good question might be not why do people create? But why do people not create or innovate? We have got to abandon that sense of amazement in the face of creativity, as if it were a miracle if anybody created anything.
The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness.
To the man who only has a hammer, everything he encounters begins to look like a nail.
If I were dropped out of a plane into the ocean and told the nearest land was a thousand miles away, I'd still swim. And I'd despise the one who gave up.
