"I never think of the future. It comes soon enough."Albert Einstein
All creatures have some resemblance of creativity, but we humans are gifted with the “pleasure of experience”. We may be conscious of our experience, and in turn savor the pleasure from it. Thus a magic of creation is not only part of our nature, but nurture as well.
Nurture being something we learn. We learn to create.

Creativity which fueled by passion and curiosity will develop a revolutionary design. A Design, that will significantly change the world, leave a mark – legacy. Anything goes here: technology; culture and civilization; science, literature and philosophy; Finances and Taxes. Capacity to mold something that did not exist, into something we understand (except taxes, for most of us).
Foreseeing future and recognizing patterns, patterns that emerge from the past – our and collective experience. A vision and willpower to break those patterns – often of (or out of) comfort. Working for the benefit collective, with a pragmatic mindset. Enjoying a change and respecting security. Liberty of action against molds of time. Working with existing tools to create new.
To understand something instinctively, without the need for conscious reasoning.
“An intellectual? Yes. And never deny it. An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself. I like this, because I am happy to be both halves, the watcher and the watched. “Can they be brought together?” This is a practical question. We must get down to it. “I despise intelligence” really means: “I cannot bear my doubts.”
Albert Camus
