In the Odyssey, a poet mentions that his songs were put into his heart by the gods. And Homer affirmed that the inspiration comes from a \u201cdivine breath\u201d. His explanation is probably not true, but I like it better than Freud\u2019s, who located the inspiration in the artist\u2019s internal psyche, the product of an unresolved psychological conflict or childhood trauma, and associated it with deep wounds.<\/p>\r\n
Inspiration comes from where it comes from, it is still a quality of being that has something magical and elusive. There are many great quotes about inspiration. Picasso used to say: \u201cWhen inspiration comes, let me find myself working.\u201d And, in the same sense, Edison is credited with the phrase: \u201cgenius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

Humor is not used much in fundraising campaigns. Nonprofits deal with very serious issues and, in most cases, the creativity of the campaigns is focused on the raw impact and the stirring of consciences. But when excellent professionals use humor intelligently, as in this 2012 campaign, they create small works of art: imagination, impact and top of mind awareness. Just Follow the Frog! You don\u2019t have to go to the ends of the Earth to save the rainforest.<\/p>\r\n
