Which leads me to my second point: being aware of and registering your surroundings and the impact this has on creativity. “When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people.” – Steve Jobs [...] [...] Chuka and Dubem also had us work through some visualisation exercises.

I guess he also overheard and connected the dots into making a statement. What I think is interesting is a look on 'creativity' as character trait and as 'industry'.
