Nobel Peace Prize Winner Albert Schweitzer, an accomplished philosopher, physician, theologian, musician and medical missionary, knew what it meant to seek inspiration and inspire others.
As he put it: "At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us."
The freshness of a new year is an apt time to think about the people who have influenced you and the people near you now. What can you do to help light their flame? Who ignites your creativity?

Welcome to a Creative New Year
From The Happiness Project comes some great ideas about how to spark creativity. At High Point, we're big fans of idea mapping -- beginning with a word in the center of a blank page, and then mapping out your associations with that word and the words that stem from them. We also love reading random magazines and buying cool creative supplies -- it really helps get the sparks of imagination flying and the wheels of good creative work churning. Whatever your usual responsibilities at work or home, why not pick a few new ways to jumpstart your own creativity in 2012? |
If you find yourself reaching for your iPad or tablet more often this year, you won't be alone. Tablet use is expected to grow more than 60% in the United States in 2012. A recent survey by eMarketer estimates that by the end of 2012, 54.8 million Americans will use a tablet PC on at least a monthly basis. That's 22.9% of Internet users and 17.3% of the total population reaching for their iPad or tablet.

 American Medical Systems - Know Your Stats About Prostate Cancer®
We're proud to be part of a recent collaboration between the National Football League and the American Urological Association to educate more men about prostate cancer. The AUA Foundation has teamed with the NFL to encourage all men over age 40 to talk with their doctors about prostate cancer, their PSA score and getting regular physical exams.
High Point Creative helped American Medical Systems take part in the campaign by providing information and editorial assistance in the areas of erectile dysfunction and incontinence -- common after-effects associated with prostate cancer surgery.
Learn more about the campaign at knowyourstats.org.
