Dream Big(Think Outside the Box)

If you create an act, you create a habit. If you create a habit, you create a character. If you create a character, you create a destiny

says Emile Herzog.
Our thinking make us different from each other and the courage separate dreamers from achievers.

Ben Carson knew that thinking big and outside the box influence our destiny and that is why he wrote the book and name it "Think Big" The pillars of creativity are broken into; Think big(dream big), think outside the box and belief in one's self. The secret to realize your creativity is to dream big.
