5. Letter from the editor
Pink bananas and red quotes on white paper,
I truly hope that in those positive educational
quotes you can find encouragement and a dose of
creativity and joy when you need it most.
There are so many great quotes related to
education and creativity, and I was wondering how I
can help all those who seek for inspiration and/or
encouragement. For example, I use different quotes
every day to inspire, enrich and encourage my
friends and the people I meet. Here are some of my
favorite inspirational creative quotes. Read them
every morning, write them on a note... post them to
your Facebook... Instagram, Tweet them... or send
them with pink bananas to your loved ones.
With playful regards,
Galorian
