Time to Fight For Your Creativity!!


The fourth personality of the creative individual is The Warrior. First you went out and explored and found some very interesting things. Secondly you used your developing artist to do something to those interesting things you found. You resisted the temptation to judge too quickly and when you finally looked at what you had in a critical way, you said something like, "Wow! I like this! What can I do with it?" This is when you now need to develop your warrior.
The warrior aspect of creativity is really two personalities. The first part is the General who needs to get the big picture. The General needs to overlook the field and decide all of the armaments that will be necessary to take the battle. The second part of the warrior is the foot soldier. The hard working grunt who needs to get into the trenches and make all the calls or do what is necessary on a daily basis.

The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking... the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker.
Albert Einstein

A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon.
Napoleon

War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today.
John F. Kennedy

I highly recommend that you read, A Kick in the Seat of the Pants. Which one of the personalities do you think is the easiest for you to master?
