“I’m concerned that me, personally, and we, collectively, aren’t tackling big enough problems because we’re not allowing ourselves to think deeply enough about big solutions. Stimuli and distractions are around every corner and in every pocket.”

“Don’t set goals for your creative blocks.”
Creative work is not a task to be checked off a next actions list. If you decide that you need to complete a particular project by the end of a block, for example, you’re likely to either be frustrated by your lack of progress or rush out something mediocre.

EXCELLENT! THAT IS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!! Let’s create for the medium at hand allowing the truly creative and innovative to come to life because the technology is there and the market is craving the different. Creative interactive media will win every time. I think it truly has to be both in order to be truly successful.

I wish religious harmony for the world. We all are equal under one God! Our world will be a better place, if we love and respect each other irrespective of our religion. With respectful coexistence of different religions, peace will prevail in the world.
