When you're created, you don't have a choice in who you might turn out to be, or at least, you can only control so much by making certain decisions. For example, you can't control what side of the brain you’re going to end up using for the rest of your life. It's a fifty-fifty shot. You're either creative or logical, and if you put into perspective, 50% of the world is creative, and the other (far less superior) half is logical. Yet why, for the love of God, why is one half more appreciated than the other.

Wherever you are in the world, whatever language you speak or whatever school you go to, there is always a divide in students. Exempting the genius kids who can do everything or the intellectually deficient people who can't do anything or simply don't care enough to try, there are always two different kinds of students. The math kids, and the english kids.

You know Einstein was a quirky dude, his mind was always flowing with the rhythm of his soul and he seemed to be on a different wavelength than everyone else. They say his genius is what made him different. Have you noticed that most english people are quirky?

A math person will automatically hold themselves to a higher standard or find themselves so much more superior to an english one. "ooh i'm the king of the world because I get it and you don't!" The reality is that they are too stupid to realize that just because society deems them as more beneficial, doesn't actually make them smarter human beings.

Sure, there are people who aren't necessarily "Mathy" or "Englishy", some people who prefer science or history and that is their oh so special talent, and yet the science people are adequate, dare I say good at math too, and the historians, they love to read about history, sounds very comprehensive to me if I do say so myself.

English people, the ones who like to read or write stories, what sets them apart from everyone else is their imagination, their creativity. I bet you Van Gogh and Picasso were some killer english people. The ones who create, either through words, or the brush or a paintbrush are artists. They are people who put their whole heart and soul into creating something from the very marrow of who they are. And yet, how can you make it, out there in the real world, with only your creativity to lead you to success.

It's very easy for the math people. think about allllll the businessmen out there, all those people who sit in very large buildings and stare at spreadsheets all day. What makes them special, literally nothing. All of them answer to Todd or Bob or Carol. All of them are math people. They were all blessed with the talent of understanding numbers so now they get to stare at them all day and make lots and lots of money.

There are no famous businessmen, no famous Todd who maxed out his spreadsheet count and made a name for himself. And yet Todd still brings home lots of money working his little 9-5 job. Todd lives comfortably and look at that, he owns a Porche too.

Todd was a math person, he went to school for business or finance and he quickly got a job. Todd makes money easily. He didn't really have to try all that hard. Todd was lucky he was part of that 50%.

Being creative is amazing, it’s amazing yet it's terrible at the same time. What do you mean that I can make a whole new world, characters, a whole story just from my brain. I can entertain you endlessly, sway your emotions make you cry all with the simplicity of my words. A lot of people can do this, a lot of people are creative, they paint, write, dance, sing, act, they play an instrument! so many people and yet, out of that 50% only 1% actually make it.

Becoming and author isn't easy, an artist, someone famous, because the only way to succeed, and make as much money as that little Todd over there, you have to make a name for yourself, be so amazing that out of everyone with your very same talent, you stand out.

That one percent in the math world are CEOs, the big owners who think they rule the world, and even then, they have much more money than the top 1% of the english world. So maybe, I guess they are at the top.

But it’s ok, right? There are other jobs for english people, just like there are doctors and scientific jobs that don't revolve entirely around math. Publisher, or editor maybe, but the person then handing out your paychecks, is still Todd. He's still in charge. Ok, well what about a lawyer, they read, comprehend, but they also argue. They fight for a living. Not so idealistic.

You don't really have a choice in what your good at, and what opportunities might open or close right in your face. Being creative is risky, and the worst part, is the fear that could rule over the rest of your life.

Everyone tells you to follow your dreams, to do what makes you happy. But I can assume that it's no ones dream to be poor or living paycheck to paycheck. Most people, talented creative people are still not part of that 1%, and if you throw away what "could be" in your youth, you could end up chasing a dream for the rest of your life.

So. What to do? Obviously, we must not give so much credit to the math people, screw them and their luck in life, leave some appreciation for the other half of the world. Mainly, I think creativity should be valued more. It shouldn't be thought that just because we use a different part of our brains, we are "less smart". We see the world in a different way. Our minds can create something from thin air, and that is a talent, a gift that's not given to everyone.

Spreadsheets are boring, and I rather follow my own wavelength, and share it with others. I can't do that if I give up my dream for security. No one will read my story, no ones emotions will sway and a whole universe will be left undiscovered. Because society, the world we live in, deemed my skill, my talent, what I personally am good at in life, subpar. Not as important.

Todd’s job is more important, he's smarter, simply because he can look at numbers, unemotional, monochromatic numbers, and understand their value when you put them together.

Well let me tell you a secret. Todd is not smarter, he's just luckier that he uses a different part of his brain than I do.
