“Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesized new things.”
Does anyone want to take a guess as to who made that statement? It was none other than one of the greatest innovators and creators of our time, the late Steve Jobs.
Are you a little surprised that Jobs, being such a prolific creator, basically said that we don’t really create things, it’s more like we connect things?
Well, I couldn’t agree more.
In fact, one of the first pages to be created on my blog was the My Story section. On that section, I state very clearly that I didn’t create anything when it comes to building wealth. Rather, I mention on that page, that I simply connected the dots that were already there. To use Job’s term, I just synthesized things.
