Best Answer

Knowing everything might be good, but in the end what does it do to know everything but never have the talent of creating something special?

The best thing is to know a little bit, but have the ability to create something special, something beautiful.

Tyrrmack	Posted Oct 22nd, 2009 at 8:51AM I've always valued creativity more. The accumulation of random facts and scattered information does not denote a person's intellectual depth. Rated: +2Vote for this!
RojoJeepNut	Posted Oct 22nd, 2009 at 8:51AM I have often given though to the Cow, being content to just graze in the field, without the fear of starvation, or the politic of nations, the fear of war, or a Heart attack. Not having the mind to step outside of the serenity of innocent world of the pasture. Contentment on the highest order is in the minds of innocents. Bliss, does not exist in the minds of Genius, or Insanity. Rated: +2Vote for this!

Ventura37	Posted Oct 21st, 2009 at 4:55PM Actually Artists are know it alls. To be an artist requires mastery of the subject and the medium of communication. But the question is more about those who do (create) versus people who are well informed (criticize or presume thay have that ability). The 'do'ers are what drive the species to achievement and the well informed talk about what was done. Rated: +1Vote for this!
RedneckHippie	Posted Oct 22nd, 2009 at 12:32PM one cannot know everything no matter how hard they try. there is no correlation in my mind between a person who has zillions of facts in their mind or a creative person. art is completely subjective. Rated: +1Vote for this!
