Its a surprise and delight to see you here! :) I definitely agree with you, and sadly the schools still don’t seem to understand this. Art and other creative courses seem to be pushed to the back and are not valued as much as the other subjects.<!--mep-nl--><!--mep-nl-->Creativity is the only way we are able to evolve and change for the better!

If the world is going to survive, we HAVE to put the creative thinkers in charge. They are able to think outside the box, and, will be able to solve the pressing problems facing planet Earth. When NASA needs to brainstorm about how to solve a problem, who do they call? The movie and science fiction guys because they can think creatively. That is why art education is so important for kids. It teaches them problem solving skills that they will need as adults. If you exercise your mind by thinking creatively, you get better at it. Yes, I agree with him.

Finishing is. I tend to take on too many things in addition to trying to take care of all the other daily life challenges. I tend to be a perfectionist and sometimes I think it's more of a hindrance. The fear of not being successful also plagues me which is a contradiction because I usually succeed at whatever I do. GO FIGURE!! Hi Krystal, Organization is not the biggest obstacle for me.

I start too many projects and get overwhelmed. OR....I just can't get inspired and do nothing. I would really like to build my business, but don't know where to take it.
