Chuck Lee

Unfortunately, when people think about creativity, they think that it’s something only great artists have, like Michelangelo, Van Gogh, and Rembrandt, or great innovators like Walt Disney or Steve Jobs. These individuals are the exceptions. It’s true that they have something special that most people don’t have.

If you … Continue reading BELIEVE IT OR NOT YOU ARE A CREATIVE PERSON

Author, musician, and educator, John Erskine, was fourteen when he learned a valuable lesson about life. His piano teacher asked him, “John, how many times a week do you practice and for how long?” John replied that he tried to practice an hour each day . His teacher said, “Well, don’t do that.
