Creativity. Or sprak?

"In class, we identified some elements essential to creativity: risk, perseverance, novel problem solving, disciplined spontaneity, the need to make exterior one's inner universe, openness to experience, luck, genetics, a willingness to react against the status quo, delight, mastery, the ability to live not only one's own life but also the life of one's time, childlike innocence guided by the sophistication of an adult, resourcefulness, a sense of spirituality, a mind of large general knowledge fascinated by particulars, passion, the useful application of obsession, a sacred place (abstract or physical), among many others." - Diane Ackerman.
(Interestingly, while typing the above and before proofreading, I had mistyped one's own life as one sown life. Well, yes.)
