If there is a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.
-Toni Morrison
Sometimes the most rewarding part of being in a creative process is its contributions to not only the creator, but all the others. Let's see the most invaluable inventions (philosophy, theory, machinery, medicine, technology, etc.) and art creations throughout the history, every single one of them has evidently become the greatest contribution to the world, no matter what the original reasons were to its creation.
Before the motivation of creativity, it's almost certain that there is the non-existence of the subject waiting to be created. A creator senses the non-existence and uses the creativity to bring it forth to the existence. The non-existence becomes an opportunity to motivate the creativity, and should be considered as equally important as any of the creative processes. The first question to ask is "what don't we have that we want most?"
So, what don't we have that we want most to see in the future of educational/instructional environment? Is it a new adapted paradigm for classroom setting, a new theory for educational method, or new technology for instructional environment? Don't we all feel the non-existence of something we would like to see it happens in the future, but it's not really happening yet? Well then, that's our opportunity to evoke our creativity.
The more non-existence we can find, the more creativity we may evoke. This will result in more contributions to the world.
[In a note found after his death by his apprentice:]
Draw, Antonio. Draw, Antonio. Draw, and do not waste time.
