Be a creativity superhero

Years ago, one of Ripley's famous "Believe It or Not!" comics pictured a plain bar of iron worth $5 and pointed out that if you forged the iron into horseshoes, it would then be worth $10.50. If you used the iron for making needles, it would then be worth $3,285. And if you turned the iron into watch springs, the value would soar to $250,000. There's a big difference between $5 and $250,000. The difference is applied creativity.

Since January is International Creativity Month, I'd like to tell you about one of the most creative people I know and how he uses his creativity to offer an incredible experience to children battling catastrophic illnesses.
