"World leaders in the fields of business, finance, art, technology and education will gather in Oklahoma City later this month to celebrate something that comes naturally to all of us.

Participants in the Creativity World Forum hope to help us learn how to retain or regain something we never had to learn as children.

Creativity is a gift from the Creator. Anyone who needs confirmation that creativity comes naturally need only take a walk with a small child.

Adults will walk by a stick on the ground and not give it a second thought. A child will see that same stick and pick up a sword, a shovel, a flute or a hammer. If that stick still has a leaf attached, they will plant the flag of a brand new country."
