     People who are preoccupied with winning the approval,                                                                    
praise, affirmation,  liking and acceptance of others  ---         
are  unlikely  to  be   creative,   venturous,   original,                         
ingenious, or innovative.                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                               
     Most people  tend to stick  with the familiar --- and                                                                    
experience   apprehensions,    fears  and   anxiety   when                                   
confronted with renewed,  original, and  creative patterns                         
of behavior.                                                       
                                                                                                                               
     Creative people  rarely gain wide  approval,  praise,                         
affirmation or acceptance  from common people around them.         
"A  prophet  is  not  without honor,  except  in  his  own                   
country."                                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                               
     If  one  aspires  to be  truly  creative,   original,                         
venturous, ingenious or innovative --- one needs to beware                 
of   the  temptation  to  covet  the  approval,    praise,                                                                     
affirmation, liking or acceptance of common other people.
