« When you’re born, you sign a contract with your community.
Part of this contract is to help your community in everything you can.
For me, the best thing to help is to develop intelligence in everything. And the best part of intelligence is creativity, which is why the only thing we need to do is to create.
Only creativity can solve the problems and challenges we face.” Ph.S
