If you can raise somebody's level of positivity in the present, then their brain experiences what we now call a happiness advantage,
which is your brain at positive performs significantly better than it does at negative, neutral or stressed.
Your intelligence rises, your creativity rises, your energy levels rise.
Because dopamine, which floods into your system when you're positive… make[s] you happier,
it turns on all of the learning centers in your brain allowing you to adapt to the world in a different way. Shawn Achor

Ken Robinson Says Schools Kill Creativity
"My contention is that creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status....
if you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original "
