As one of America’s most revered creatives, Mark Twain understood that possibility matters just as much as logic. Born in 1835 as Samuel Clemens, the famous author and humorist seemed to know this from the start; even his early journalism favored exaggeration and invention over strict accuracy. As the brilliant mind behind such classics as “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer” and “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” Twain undoubtedly had his imagination to thank for much of his success. His perspective reminds us that clear thinking doesn’t only result from reason but from a broader creative vision that allows us to see — and seize — all sorts of possibilities and opportunities.
