Creativity

2nd August 2009, Prague, Czech Republic
I have spent a good part of the day visiting and enjoying the world famous Prague Castle. One of the biggest castles in the world( according to the Guinness Book of records, the biggest ancient castle in the world), it is about 570 metres in length and about 130 cms wide.It represents just about every architectural style of the last millenium.
Magnificient ... majestic ...
What struck me was the sheer intensity of creativity ... of architectects, landscapers, builders et all ... set me thinking ... What does it take to achieve a feat of this order ....an inordinate amout of genius, hard work, transcendental help, universe lining upto to help you ... what ... ???
The question persisted on my way back and then some...
Almost as if the answer walked up confidently to the question, in this case ... I received from a friend a link
