themselves and in the intervention of the unseen power of the Supreme Creator.
Read an Excerpt
Creativity means many things to many people, but the most common understanding is that creativity
happens when someone creates something unique, new, artistic, beautiful and often valuable, an
enhancer to our lives. No doubt, creativity is one great way to win in life’s arena of challenges.
The reality is people have different kinds of creativity, and children can be very creative as they do not
know the limitations of their imagination. There are adults, too, who are determined to create what has
never been done before, hence perhaps Einstein’s famous quote, “Imagination is more important than
knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we know and understand, while imagination embraces the
entire world, and all there will be to know and understand.”
Jose’s creativity started to manifest when his father encouraged him to make his own toys out of some
spare watch parts and other odd pieces he had kept. His school projects were also a great outlet for his
growing creativity. Nonetheless, this creative influence almost got lost when he had to deal with his
mom’s passing and pursue his own life travelling around the world as a sailor.
