• El gran enemigo de la creatividad es el miedo. Cuando tenemos miedo, nos paralizamos, como un niño de nueve años que no hace dibujos por miedo a que todo el mundo se ría. La creatividad tiene mucho que ver con la voluntad de asumir riesgos. Piensa en cómo juegan los niños. Corren por el patio, se tropiezan, se caen, se levantan y siguen corriendo. Creen que todo saldrá bien. Se sienten capaces, se dejan llevar. Los buenos empresarios se comportan de forma similar: pierden 15 millones de dólares, ganan 20 millones, pierden 30 millones y los recuperan. Si eso no es jugar, ¡no sé lo que es!
