CREATIVITY

The various misconception of creativity has occupied our minds; the thought that creativity has to do only with things we do with our hands ranging from drawing, making objects out of clay, and all other hand work/craft. By this misconception we forget the fact that creativity is the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality. "Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun", Said Mary Lou Cook. Creativity is characterized by the ability to perceive the world in new ways, to find hidden patterns, to make connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena, and to generate solutions. Creativity works in two ways: intangible (such as an idea, a scientific theory, a musical composition, or a joke) or a physical object (such as an invention, a printed literary work, or a painting). Creativity involves two processes: thinking, then producing. If you have ideas but don’t act on them, you are imaginative but not creative. By thinking, you have to review what it is you want to create, have a surface and deep understanding of it, what you need to put in place to get things right and how much benefit it can be to you and to those you will be showcasing it to. Producing on the other hand explains the bringing of your thought to reality, making your imaginations visible and presented to the society. Remember "Everything you can imagine is real." -- Pablo Picasso Creativity has no limitation on age, sex, level of education, personality. The essential things are you, your mind, your brain, your ability to think right. A surprising thing is that even those we feel are abnormal or act in a funny way can also be creative in whatever aspect they choose. Your boredom could be a push top your creativity. Your free time might be channel to displaying your creativity. Just open up your mind, be free, catch fun, and enjoy the moment. Creative people are intelligent, energetic and disciplined. They belief in themselves and are proud of themselves. For you to be a better person at creativity, try out the following: Ask the right question and be committed to your creativity.
