Dear Sam,
I was so chuffed when I heard your story today.
Under exam conditions, your task was to write creatively.
Writing was your non-preferred task.
I thought you didn't really do non-preferred tasks.
Your page was blank.
You could hear the others dig into the task around you.
You had no idea what to write about.
BUT you gave your mind the space.
You let it wander.
You found it.
It was original.
You took it.
You took a risk.
You wrote and wrote and wrote.
Your eyes twinkled when you told us.
Five years ago, had someone told me this story,
I would have said, "Get out of here!"
I had no idea.
I wonder.
What are you capable of in another 5 years?
I have no idea.
