When Walt Disney was six years old, he drew some flowers with faces in art class.

His art teacher looked at his drawing and said, "The flowers are nice Walt, but flowers don’t have faces."

Walt looked his teacher in the eye and pronounced. "Mine do."

When we’re young we’re forced to hand over the reins to adults. They’re well intentioned, but give us rules and make judgements on our abilities which make our soul shrivel, make us normal, and forget who we are.

According to
research by NASA scientists, we’re born creative geniuses but then become adulterated by the education system and society.

As Steven Spielberg said, "Being normal isn’t natural. Being normal narrows the imagination and hinders creativity."

No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else.

Be you. The world will adjust.

As for Walt Disney, his animated version of Alice in Wonderland had flowers with faces. Only this time they also had voices, different characters, and loved singing.

 

Humour

The man who invented predictive text leaves behind a whiff, two sins and a doughnut.

  • My husband was hinting at what he wanted for his 50th birthday.

    He said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 200 in about 2 seconds."

    I bought some bathroom scales.

    And then the fight started …..

  • My son got a grade F in his geography exam today.

    I sent him to his room but he ended up in the fridge.

 

Live big & love deep.
