Creative Mission

COMPREHENSIVE CREATIVE CREATIVITY

Our "Creative Mission" is to foster a rich, interdisciplinary dialogue that will convey and forge new tools and applications for creative, critical and philosophical thinking; engaging the world in the process. Through workshops, tutorials and social media platforms we also strive to entertain, educate and empower people - from individuals, to businesses, governments or not-for-profit groups; we aim to guide them in building a base of constructive ideas, skills and a Brain Fit paradigm - thereby setting the stage for a sustainable, healthy, and creative approach and lifestyle . These synthesized strategic "Critical Success Factors" - can then give rise to applied long-term life or business - Operating Living Advantages and Benefits.

And, at the same time, we encourage Charlie Monger's key attitude and belief - for and with all of whom we reach - " develop into a lifelong self-learner through voracious reading; cultivate curiosity and strive to become a little wiser (and more grateful)* everyday."

Writing #Perspectives - #Thoughts on Steven King's Essay Book

"His book is a poignant, personal portrayal of his writing journey and chock full of advice to writers"

My Review of "On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft"

By AJ

Stephen King’s On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft begins with two epigraphs. (Epigraphs are phrases, quotations, or poems set at the beginning of a document.)The epigraphs are: Honesty’s the best policy.—Miguel de Cervantes and Liars prosper.—Anonymous. He uses many epigraphs in his writing, usually to mark the beginning of a new section in a novel.

What is he trying to tell us with these two seemingly opposite sayings? Maybe he is trying to tell us that one’s recollection of one’s life lies somewhere in the middle between honesty and truth. Or maybe he is just telling us his life’s story lies somewhere in the middle.

Inspirations of passions

Make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal, until bit by bit the walls of the ego recede, and your life becomes increasingly merged in the universal life. An individual human existence should be like a river — small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past rocks and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.

Bertrand Russel
