Real creativity is connecting uncommon threads
As a young creative I discovered that everything interesting had already been done.
I was doomed to never be an original.
To create something that was truly unique that changed culture.

Creativity is seeing how one interest feeds into another interest.
How you can mix all the things you love with your life experience to create something that is unique to you, even though maybe it’s not completely original.
Learn from the greats, then add a dash of you.
