A synthesis—an abstraction, chunk, or gist idea—is a neural pattern. Good chunks form neural patterns that resonate, not only within the subject we’re working in, but with other subjects and areas of our lives. The abstraction helps you transfer ideas from one area to another. That’s why great art, poetry, music, and literature can be so compelling. When we grasp the chunk, it takes on a new life in our own minds—we form ideas that enhance and enlighten the neural patterns we already possess, allowing us to more readily see and develop other related patterns. Once we have created a chunk as a neural pattern, we can more easily pass that chunked pattern to others, as Cajal and other great artists, poets, scientists, and writers have done for millennia, Once other people grasp that chunk, not only can they use it, but also they can more easily create similar chunks that apply to other areas in their lives—an important part of the creative process.

“Herb and I have worked together for nearly two decades, and I've appreciated him as a creative and strategic thinker and, most importantly, as a friend. He has guided Nickelodeon Networks to an unrivaled leadership position and has broadened its businesses to engage viewers beyond the TV screen in licensing, movies, recreation and much more. He is a true innovator, and he is leaving a great legacy for our company and the industry.”

“He's just so creative in practice. He's one of the fastest, if not the fastest guy in college hockey. He's just got such a good sense of awareness and hockey sense. You've got to realize that he's young and it's tough coming in as a freshman. Even as good as you are, it's an adjustment. He's really caught on here the last couple of weeks and he's just going to get better as the season goes on.”

“The question is, 'what do we do?' as there is a view which says that anything artistic should not be censored because it is a creative expression, etc. But if it is having that kind of negative impact on our young people, that is something that we are fighting against, the violence and the aggression, then we have to do something about it. And my view is that these things should be censored, banned from the airwaves and the electronic media. I have no qualms about it.”

“If you don't have anything installed prior to Elements, we will install a version of Bridge. There is a slight difference between the version of Bridge you get with Elements and the one you get with Creative Suite 2. We have basically removed some of the non-consumer things like scripting control, access to Adobe Stock Photos and Version Cue. Otherwise it's pretty much the same functionality.”

“Over the years I have developed a picture of what a human being living humanely is like. She is a person who understand, values and develops her body, finding it beautiful and useful; a person who is real and is willing to take risks, to be creative, to manifest competence, to change when the situation calls for it, and to find ways to accommodate to what is new and different, keeping that part of the old that is still useful and discarding what is not.”

“Being selected as the mobile partner and entrusted with the Halo universe is a huge honor... Ultimately, the Halo deal is an extension of an ongoing partnership, but Microsoft does not make decisions with out doing their due diligence. We feel that our large, existing publishing network (130 carriers and portals across 50 countries worldwide), extensive creative and development capabilities and strong understanding of 'community' were major factors in the company's decision,”

“Jonathan's expertise in regulation, antitrust law, telecommunications and technology policy offers a critical capability to the firm and to our clients. From the beginning, GPG has sought to build a new kind of agency, providing unique communications counsel forged by integrating world-class creative thinking, strategy and substance. Jonathan's focus on policy and regulation will help deepen the intellectual capital of the firm, informing and complementing our other services.”

“[Even the Chicago Police are impressed with the result.] We think it's great, ... It's very innovative, taking data that we're already publishing on our crime site, which has been up since late 2000. By repackaging that information, presenting it in a highly interactive way with hyperlinks all over the place, it is easy to explore and to drill up and down in the data. It does some creative things with mapping.”

“I think the stamp collection is important because for whatever reason, I think that our people tend to try to forget our history rather than remember it. And I think the stamps are a very creative way to allow us to remember our history, teach it to our children and teach it to them using something they will be interested in and could even collect, hold on to and hopefully they would teach it to their own children,”
