Systematic Poetry Techniques The Myth Of CreativityCreativity is somewhat of a myth. It isn't that it doesn't exist, but people's ideas about it are mis-informed. Many believe that to be creative is to come up with something completely new.

This is because unlike...... Similar Editorial : by Terry J. Coyier. | Source : Poetry Online

Treasure Hunting In Unlikely Ways We never thought about it as treasure hunting, but as kids we searched the bushes and alleys for empty bottles that were returnable for a deposit. Looking back on it, I realize that this is the essence of treasure hunting. We were never sure what we would find, but always hopeful that peaking into the next bush would reveal our "treasure." We were excited by our finds, of course, and eager to cash...... Similar Editorial : by Steven Gillman. | Source : Hunting Tips

Probabilitism - Playing The Odds In Life Probabilitism? I just invented the word to describe an ideology of living life according to the odds, or more specifically, making decisions according to them. Life, after all, is all about making decisions, and we need some guide for making better ones.The most common explicit guide to decision making is morality. However, this only eliminates some choices, leaving us with a sub-set of acceptable...... Source : Balance Life
Why To-Do Lists Dont Work More than once I've found myself adding something I've already done to my daily list. I get to check it off then, you see. I get "credit" for all the things I've done.

Somebody attacks who they think you are, and it is as though they could actually reach inside and poke at your true self...... Similar Editorial : by Gordon Marsden. | Source : Daily Inspirations
