It is what helps you face the world, or rather, it helps you transform the world.

It doesn't matter what field you choose-whether in the arts or sciences-if you do it in the attitude of curiosity and passion, you are an artist, or what I call a "conscious creative." You are not satisfied with the status quo; you find your own answers. You forge your own path.

Excerpt from book
The Unbearable Lightness of Creative FreedomThe creative attitude is one of limitless opportunity. Think of an open space, a clear horizon representing endless possibilities. A creative person is standing at the center of the universe, with infinite paths going in all directions; the unknown is exciting, and the path chosen is simply one of personal predilection.
