If there was a biography about you, what would the title be?

I have given a fair bit of thought to what the biography about myself might be called. Titles are all important but they should be reflected in this case of the person within the text.

I’ve always put a great deal of stock in the importance of thinking and the role in life That imagination should play.

As a teacher dealing with primary school age students in the upper years are used to say to them remember always that you have three eyes, your left eye, your right eye and your mind’s eye.

That said I was the “imagination Eye”.

It seems to me that the creativity and the imagination inherent within children and young ages begin to whether, die, and pass into personal history the older they get.

I used to say to children, that whatever they did they should never lose touch with their imagination. they should never allow it to die.

I have tried to live that and to keep my fertile imagination ablaze through all that I do and through the things I say.

One of the nicest compliments ever paid to me was from a Year Six child in class. She said to me, “Mr Gray, you have the body of a man in the mind of a child.“

I’ve tried to make sure that my imagination has always remained productive, creative, and directed positively.

I’d like the title of my biography to be:

“Henry, the Man with the Forever Imagination.”
