BLACKSBURG, Va. - May 18, 2015 - PRLog -- Week-013 issue of the Mass Creativity e-newsletter is online – goo.gl/nme1B8.

Entitled “Your Own Genius, Your Creativity, Your Role in Life,” Week-013 issue of the Mass Creativity e-newsletter features five sobering and penetrating items:

1.      Creativity: Revealing the Truth about Human  Nature (The primary source of inspiration for the global mass creativity initiative)

2.      Ten Great Insights on Human Creativity – Insights 0121-0130

3.      Creativity Wit and Wisdom by Henry Drummond, Duane Elgine, Friedrich Nietzsche, Medard Boss, and Carl Rogers.

4.      Commentary: Your Own Genius, Your Creativity, Your Role in Life

5.      Challenge of the Week and Call-to-Action

The crux of the e-newsletter is everyone’s dual and inextricably responsibility for genius – one’s own genius and other people’s.

Just as "one chimpanzee is no chimpanzee,” Week-013 issue of the Mass Creativity e-newsletter conclusively debunks the myth of the solo genius as a fallacy. Drawing on research and anecdotal evidence, the e-newsletter demonstrates that, like Isaac Newton, every genius stands on the shoulders of others, past and contemporary.

Two oft-quoted observations – one by Ralph Waldo Emerson, the other by Charles Horton Cooley – are brought together to underscore the critical importance of others, in order for genius to develop and practically express:

Ralph Waldo Emerson's observation, "our chief want in life is someone who shall make us do what we can,"  suggests that, regardless of innate endowment, what an individual ultimately achieves or becomes is largely a function of society's encouragement and support (or otherwise) of his or her inherent possibilities.

Charles Horton Cooley's concept of the looking glass self, "Each to each a looking glass Reflects the other that doth pass," demonstrates how one's self-image and, ultimately, one's achievement is shaped by one's interactions with others.

Central to Week-013 Mass Creativity e-newsletter is everyone’s dual responsibility for genius: First, to nurture their own genius and to use one’s own genius. Second, to facilitate other people's effort to realize their own geniuses and, so, get the satisfaction that their own lives have meant something.

Three highlights from Week-013 issue of the Mass Creativity e-newsletter make the publication a necessary reading:

First, “However significant one's personal achievements, the geniuses one inspires, or one assists, others to attain almost invariably trump one's personal accomplishments.”

Second, “the viable and sustainable global civilization everyone wants and hopes to see can, and will, be attained; but only if all, or enough, people are able to realize and to engage their particular geniuses in meaningful and beneficial activities.”

Third, “in an increasingly integrated global society where the fate of all could depend on the emotional health of any single individual, enabling everyone to fulfill his or her role in life is no longer optional; but a survival imperative for all humanity.”
