So, we might have only been here for a few thousand years, or have been evolving for the last couple of hundred thousand years; who knows? One thing that we do know, however, is that we’re here now, and now is the only time that we can create and be creative.

The best thing about Creativity is that it often does not have to take so much time, or have to be so complicated that we need to leave it to the tree-huggers, or as John Robby from 702 put it so eloquently the other day; the Ponytails.

But you might still remember me from the time when I used to have a ponytail (it wasn’t that long ago… at least does not feel that long ago). In the meantime I’ve just lost so much hair that if I still had a ponytail, I would have been condoned to judgemental comments such as: dirty guy who cannot accept when an era has passed… an era for the top of his head, that is.

But if the years have taught me one thing by now, it is that the more creative you try to be, the more creative you become.

The point that I’m trying to make here is actually so for removed from my receding hairline or my inclination to a self-proclaimed creativity.

What I’m trying to get to is that you do not have to be a creative genius to make things around you look stunningly creative, beautiful, and comfortable.

But you do need to be a genius, and that genius would take three steps to come out:

1. Walk through your house and see where one of these products would work nicely.
2. Think of how nice it would be if everyone congratulated you on a brilliant idea to have this done here.
3. (Here’s the genius part) pick up the phone, and get hold of me. I’ll do the rest, and the best of it all is that I will do it for you in record time! One day it’s boring, the next it’s beautiful…

And I can assure you, you won’t lose any hair doing this; and I’ll let you take all the credit for your genius.

Brilliant, isn’t it? Absolute creative genius!
