Conformity Monster

At birth we are brimming with joy and creativewonder, but creativity declines whenstructured education begins.

Researcher G. M. Prince found that 90 percent

of five-year-olds test highly creative.

This drops to 10 percent by age seven.

Past age eight only 2 percent exhibit a high level

of creativity.

Why do you suppose this happens?

The Hare and the Tortoise

A hare was making fun of a tortoise one day for being so slow. "Do youever get anywhere?" the hare asked with a mocking laugh."Yes," replied the tortoise, "and I get there sooner than you think. Runa race against me and I'll prove it.

The hare was very amused at the thought of running a race with the

tortoise, and just for fun he decided to do it. So the fox, who agreed toact as judge marked the distance for the race on a path through thewoods, and started the runners off. The hare was soon far out of sight.To let the tortoise know how silly it was for him to challenge a speedyhare, the hare decided to lie down beside the road to take a nap untilthe tortoise could catch up.

The tortoise meanwhile kept going slowly but steadily. After a time, thetortoise passed the place where the hare was sleeping. The hare slepton very peacefully. When at last he did wake up, the tortoise wasalready very near the finish line. The hare now ran his swiftest, but hecould not overtake the tortoise in time.
