If You Choose to be Creative, You Have to Choose Not to be a Sheep

Posted on August 16, 2012 by Jeremie Averous

Following on our post on the “The Creativity Crisis Does Not Exist“, to be fair, creativity has a drawback though.

Will you be a sheep of a wolf?

And Hugh McLeod (subscribe for free to receive a daily Gapingvoid cartoon and thought) captures it fantastically as usual in this cartoon.

Yep, to be creative you need to be some kind of a lone wolf. And choose not to be sheep. Are you really ready for it? The point of Hugh McLeod is very well made – you need to choose one or the other.

At any time, in any society, only a few people are ready for being lone wolves. They will be lonely, sometimes hungry, but they will change the world.

Will you be the sheep of the wolf? Time to choose!

    As long as you accept these as the only two choices there is no revolution.

      Fully agreed that this post was a bit provocative. I had lots of comments on LinkedIn… and the truth is probably somewhere in the middle between sheep and wolf!
