Creativity is ... Attitude

In Berkeley, CA, USA, I met amazingly wise and educated street merchants.
Somehow, I just wanted to have  the following sticker:

Ever since I got this sticker, it has been hanging on my door at the university.

Einstein was famous for his proverbs and quotations. I welcome you to take a look at them. If someone knows where these proverbs can found in German, I would be most grateful! (Einstein's English was not excellent, I suppose some of those English quotations are therefore translated from German).

Nowadays I am well known for my polite and still uncomfortable questions. It is a skill that gets better when you practise it a lot ;-)

Hi,
Here is one list I found of Einstein provers in German. Hope it is useful for you :) http://www.norbertkasper.de/interessantes/lebensweisheiten/einstein.htm

Now a question for you, does questioning not necessarily implies to question all the time to others, does it?

Wondering about your opinon. As time pass on, I start to wonder that the questioning is internal. What we seek from the outside might be information (of different types) that might support us to reflect towards the answer of our doubts. Which at the end, each single doubt is a personal piece of development.

If that make some sense, then when we question outside we do not ask for answers, we seek for opinions. That is perhaps the reason why with some people you have no troubles to answer question while with others it just bother you to be asked. It is not for the type of question, it is for the intention of it.

I really do not know it is just food for the though! ;)

You are right, Carolina.

My view on questioning was too narrow. I should have written about reflection and questioning myself and my perceptions. Your games related interesting work has a lot to do with curiosity which an elementary concept of creativity. I recommend all readers an old book called " The Creativity Question", edited by Rotherberg and Hausman.

BTW, I tremendeously liked those German proverbs. Thanks again, Carolina.

My favourite: "Phantasie ist wichtiger als Wissen, denn Wissen ist begrenzt".

Maybe therefore I prefer Science Fiction instead of Reality Series in TV ;-)
