Can you be foolish - foolish like you were as a kid?
I posit that being foolish is powerfully creative. Sure we all have jobs, but don't get trapped. Embrace folly and play. What if you could live your life this way!! How fun.

WHEN Greg Mortenson, a six-foot-four night-nurse and mountaineer from Montana, first visited Pakistan in 1993 to climb K2, the world's second-highest peak, he failed in his mountain quest but ended up doing more to win hearts and minds in the region than any amount of official American propaganda.
Mr Mortenson began by planning a five-room school which, using local craftsmen and materials, he reckoned would cost $12,000 to build. Then he set about writing letters—to senators, to millionaires, to Oprah Winfrey and to a fellow footballer who, like him, had attended the University of South Dakota. In all he wrote 580 letters, and received a single cheque in the post (from the student footballer) for $100. But he never gave up.
Today Mr Mortenson has built 55 schools, as he says in his bestselling memoir, "Three Cups of Tea", one school at a time. And still he has more to build. Who says you need guns to fight the war on terror?
If Greg can make a difference can't I, can't you? He is on CSPAN this evening. If you can watch the interview it's potentially life changing.
