Tradition stops excellence

Think about it...doing things the way that it has always been done stops us from making the kind of progress that makes something excellent.

But the good thing about this is that so many people only copy things so that when an original does appear it seems even the more so grand.

Another good thing is that all of us have the seeds of originality within us...we only need to concentrate on hearing from deep inside of us the way that we need to go.

    One of my favorite quotes is this:

    I've always believed in that quote. And a big reason is because you're ignorant of tradition. You can look at things in a whole new way, and come up with creative solutions others long ago stopped looking for.

      There aren't enough people in life who strive to break the mold.

  • Broyde, glad to see someone else acknowledge that everyone has creative potential. I hear from a lot of people who think they aren't creative. Because they think it so, they aren't as creative as they could be, but only because they think it so.
