• A comment on Conversation: Children's schools should have an "Imagination" period

  Jun 2 2012: It's a great idea because at the core of imagination, is a person who knows what they want & who they are. Too many people are so caught up in the everyday grind of life that it's hard to take a breather & take stock of what's happening & one's role in it. You ask any immensely succesful person who worked his way from a bottom up scenario & they will all tell you that the most important ingredient in their pursuit to success is love for what they did. Love is a powerfull tool in that it eliminates doubts & fears. That's why entrepreneurs & inventors keep pushing because they are so in love with their purpose that to the observer, this person has unshakable faith. Which is true, but it's not in the face of doubt because doubt, failure, uncertainty & fear no longer apply when a purpose is driven by love. Faith, definiteness & bravery all come automatically when directed towards a thing of passion. You just know that it's going to work out. Men know what I mean. That time when they saw their wives to be, even before they met them they knew the end result. They didn't bother with the process, just the result. You only get that kind of certainty in love. So it's really important that you know who you are as a person, know what you love by getting in touch with your feelings, then in the silence of contemplation...your imagination will show itself.
