As a child I lay on the kitchen floor and drew perpetual motion machines and miniature golf courses, and realized that everything was in fact possible, in my imagination. The same feeling I still have. Imagination has no limits and it is fun to make things up! And the best of all; you never have to be bored if you only have a pen handy, and something to draw or write on.
