Hi,
I am taking Principles in Marketing this semester at the University of Fairbank’s Center for Distance Education.
I am making an entry as a requirement to complete a exercise on Social Networking.
Here is a quote on creativity that I like:
Pablo Picasso: “There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.”

“an” exercise on Social Networking.
