I think it is true, destruction is certainly the opposite of creative. but, no one can stay creative all the time, that's why I find it good for a person to read, experiment and try to find raw material for the mind to connect up in a moment of creativity. When I am in a good mood, I would remain uncreative (=un-destructive), level zero I believe, where most people like to stay. I came across a number of articles on techniques for creativity exercising and brainstorming <a href="http://www.creativethinking.net/WP03_Techniques.htm" rel="nofollow">here</a>, they might help staying creative.. havn't put them to the test, yet. very nice, I am working on an argument on creativity for my thinking skills class, it’s about all people are born creative.

But, if learning starts at a ground zero, and the thirst to learn does exist, then getting knowledge and expertise (at some level) will be there. DaVinci status may somehow elude most learners, but at least some progress will be made. So as any free-thinking "creative', when we're not being destructive, will attest: It's much easier to try then to prove it can't be done. I agree that anyone who can hold a pencil can’t draw.

She ripped me a new one. My only meak defense was that I couldn't draw. She lost it and went on and on about how I was stupid because everyone could draw. Humans are born with the ability to draw lines and circles, therefore even someone as sub-human as me could draw. Being the quick smart-ass that I am, I shot back with, "Yes, I agree everyone can draw, but not of quality." She shut up and stopped calling me stupid for the rest of the semester. Heh.
