On Creativity

Seth Godin makes one of the most provocative statements I have ever heard regarding creativity in a review of the new book "Ignore Everybody: and 39 Other Keys to Creativity". Here are the first two lines of the review:

Creativity is not a genetic trait, nor is it reserved for professionals.

Everyone is creative sooner or later, but unfortunately, most people have it drilled out of them when they're kids.


Do you have any memories of creativity being drilled out of you? Coloring out side the lines? Clouds are not blue, they are white?
