Hint 1

These paragraphs are exactly the same... except for those strange stains.

Hint 2

The stains are roughly in the same area, but not quite.

Hint 3

Left, Right, and What Comes In-Between.

Solution

The messages on the left and right are identical, but the subtle ink marks behind them are not. The hidden message is in the middle - the left paragraph has the letter to the left marked, the right paragraph has the letter to the right marked. In between each pair of marked letters are the ones that spell out 'Creative Thinking'
