FROM DILIP MUKERJEA

"Genius is in-born, may it never be still-born."

"Oysters, irritated by grains of sand, give birth to pearls. Brains, irritated by curiosity, give birth to ideas."

"Brainpower is the bridge to the future; it is what transports you from wishful thinking to willful doing."

"Unless you keep learning & growing, the status quo has no status."

CREATIVITY: WHEN EAST MEETS WEST

What is Creativity?

Eastern Perspective:

"A state of personal fulfillment, the expression of an inner essence of ultimate reality."

(Chu, 1970; Kuo, 1996; Mathur, 1982)

Western Perspective:

"The ability to produce work that is novel or original and appropriate, useful, or adaptive."

(Barron, 1988; Jackson & Messick, 1967; Lubart, 1994; MacKinnon, 1962; Ochse, 1990; Stein, 1953; Sternberg, 1988a; Sternberg & Lubart, 1991, 1995, 1996)
