Some people see the glass as half full. Others see it as half empty. I see it as a protective bowl for tiny tropical fish that can jump really high.

Duane Alan Hahn

Anyone can make the simple complicated. Creativity is making the complicated simple.

Charles Mingus

The artist who can forget his past creations may create greater and greater things.

The joy is in the doing, not in the holding fast to that which is done.

Oh, the magic of letting go! It is the magic of the gods.

The Beautiful Being from To Those About to Die: Letters from a Living Dead Man

Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way.

Edward De Bono

Man's mind stretched to a new idea never goes back to its original dimensions.

Oliver wendell Holms

People should think things out fresh and not just accept conventional terms and the conventional way of doing things.

R. Buckminster Fuller

If you fall in love with an idea, you won't see the merits of alternative approachesand will probably miss an opportunity or two. One of life's great pleasures is letting go of a previously cherished idea. Then you're free to look for new ones. What part of your idea are you in love with? What would happen if you kissed it goodbye?

Roger von Oech

Creativity, as has been said, consists largely of rearranging what we know in order to find out what we do not know. Hence, to think creatively, we must be able to look afresh at what we normally take for granted.

George Kneller

Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.

Erich Fromm

Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.

Mary Lou Cook

The essential part of creativity is not being afraid to fail.

Edwin H. Land

Ah, good taste! What a dreadful thing! Taste is the enemy of creativeness.

Pablo Picasso

A truly creative person rids him or herself of all self-imposed limitations.

Gerald G. Jampolsky

Creative activity could be described as a type of learning process where teacher and pupil are located in the same individual.

Arthur Koestler

Minds are like parachutes: they only function when open.

Thomas R. Dewar

He who never walks except where he sees other men's tracks will make no discoveries.

Unknown

Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything.

George Lois

People say that books are better than movies because you have to use your imagination. Movies are "lazy entertainment." Well, books are lazy too since you're not really using your imagination. The imagination of another person is being inserted into your mind through words. If imagination is the focus, daydreaming is better than reading.

Duane Alan Hahn

A consistent thinker is a thoughtless person, because he conforms to a pattern; he repeats phrases and thinks in a groove.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.

Oscar Wilde

Consistency requires you to be as ignorant today as you were a year ago.

Bernard Berenson

Creativity is the sudden cessation of stupidity.

Edwin H. Land

I invent nothing, I rediscover.

Auguste Rodin

Nothing is new except arrangement.

William J. Durant

What is originality? Undetected plagiarism.

Dean William R. Inge

Begin with another's to end with your own.

Baltasar Gracian

Originality is nothing but judicious plagiarism.

Voltaire

The more original a discovery, the more obvious it seems afterwards.

Arthur Koestler

Originality is a marshmallow chick dry humping a wet pickle.

Duane Alan Hahn

 

In Case You Didn't Know

 

Trump's Jab = Bad

Did you know that Trump's rushed experimental rona jab has less than one percent overall benefit? It also has many possible horrible side effects. Some brainwashed rona jab cultists claim that there are no victims of the jab, but person after person will post what the jab did to them, a friend, or a family member on web sites such as Facebook and Twitter and they'll be lucky if they don't get banned soon after. Posting the truth is “misinformation” don't you know. Awakened sheep might turn into lions, so powerful people will do just about anything to keep the sheep from waking up.

H Word and I Word = Good

Take a look at my page called The H Word and Beyond. You might also want to look at my page called Zinc and Quercetin. My sister and I have been taking those two supplements since summer of 2020 in the hopes that they would scare away the flu and other viruses (or at least make them less severe).

 

 

B Vitamins = Good

Some people appear to have a mental illness because they have a vitamin B deficiency. For example, the wife of a guy I used to chat with online had severe mood swings which seemed to be caused by food allergies or intolerances. She would became irrational, obnoxious, throw tantrums, and generally act like she had a mental illness. The horrid behavior stopped after she started taking a vitamin B complex. I've been taking Jarrow B-Right (#ad) for many years. It makes me much easier to live with.

 

 

Soy = Bad

Unfermented soy is bad! “When she stopped eating soy, the mental problems went away.” Fermented soy doesn't bother me, but the various versions of unfermented soy (soy flour, soybean oil, and so on) that are used in all kinds of products these days causes a negative mental health reaction in me that a vitamin B complex can't tame. The sinister encroachment of soy has made the careful reading of ingredients a necessity.

 

 

Wheat = Bad

If you are overweight, have type II diabetes, or are worried about the condition of your heart, check out the videos by Ken D Berry, William Davis, and Ivor Cummins. It seems that most people should avoid wheat, not just those who have a wheat allergy or celiac disease. Check out these books: Undoctored (#ad), Wheat Belly (#ad), and Eat Rich, Live Long (#ad).

 

 

Negative Ions = Good

Negative ions are good for us. You might want to avoid positive ion generators and ozone generators. A plain old air cleaner is better than nothing, but one that produces negative ions makes the air in a room fresher and easier for me to breathe. It also helps to brighten my mood.

 

 

Litterbugs = Bad

Never litter. Toss it in the trash or take it home. Do not throw it on the ground. Also remember that good people clean up after themselves at home, out in public, at a campsite and so on. Leave it better than you found it.

 

 

Climate Change Cash Grab = Bad

Seems like more people than ever finally care about water, land, and air pollution, but the climate change cash grab scam is designed to put more of your money into the bank accounts of greedy politicians. Those power-hungry schemers try to trick us with bad data and lies about overpopulation while pretending to be caring do-gooders. Trying to eliminate pollution is a good thing, but the carbon footprint of the average law-abiding human right now is actually making the planet greener instead of killing it.

 

Eliminating farms and ranches, eating bugs, getting locked down in 15-minute cities, owning nothing, using digital currency (with expiration dates) that is tied to your social credit score, and paying higher taxes will not make things better and “save the Earth.” All that stuff is part of an agenda that has nothing to do with making the world a better place for the average person. It's all about control, depopulation, and making things better for the ultra-rich. They just want enough peasants left alive to keep things running smoothly.

How to Wake Up Normies

Charlie Robinson had some good advice about waking up normies (see the link to the video below). He said instead of verbally unloading or being nasty or acting like a bully, ask the person a question. Being nice and asking a question will help the person actually think about the subject.
