Creative/Entrepreneurial
Individuals
• see something different in same information
everyone else sees – find similarities among
differences and differences among similarities
• do the unexpected sometimes, but not always
• are NOT born that way.
James L. Adams in his book Conceptual Blockbusting says “… for most of us, creativity is
more of a dull glow than a divine spark. And the more fanning it receives, the brighter
it will burn.”

Where do we want to be?
“Would you tell me, please, which way
I ought to go from here?”
“That depends a good deal on where
you want to get to,” said the Cat.
“I don't much care where,” said Alice.
“Then it doesn't matter which way you
go,” said the Cat.

III. Persistence
Calvin Coolidge
Nothing in the world can take the place of
persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than
unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a
proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated
derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
