being a creative person is really not very difficult. sometimes when people tell me i'm creative, i have this amazing urge to let the cat out of the bag by giving away the whole secret so that everyone else can be.

just let go. anyone can be 'creative'; irrespective of whether you are a manager, programmer, biker, writer or a shoe-watcher (wierd people who look at shoes a lot). i'm a car watcher. i like to look at the sloping lines to see how much auto aesthetics went into bringing together the right set of lines to make a machine beautiful. sometimes this applies to shoes also...
