Education is the foundation for all we do in life, it shapes who we are and what we aspire to be. Creativity fuels innovation, and it's what all states should strive to instill in the next generations.

A creative mindset is in increasingly high demand: employers are vying for workers who are able to dream big and deliver big with the next must-have product. Creative thinking fuels innovation, it leads to new goods and services, creates jobs and delivers substantial economic rewards.

I think if you study--if you learn too much of what others have done, you may tend to take the same direction as everybody else.

This is not a time for America to 'believe in magic.' This is a time to drive education forward. This is a time to drive the economy forward. This is a time to drive America forward. We must do it together. And we must re-elect Barack Obama as President of the United States.

An aerial IED would be another indication of the enemy's innovation and creativity.

America’s education system has become less a ladder of opportunity than a structure to transmit inequity from one generation to the next.
