CREATIVITY, What is it about ?

  If somebody were to ask me what creativity was, I would simply say this- Creativity is something that no two people can have the same answer to,  because basically creativity to me might not be creativity to you. To define creativity your own way you have to find out what inspires you. To me creativity is about bringing out positive ideas out of the things that inspire me. If I'm inspired by a packet of spaghetti and I decide to make a Spaghetti earring, who cares what anyone thinks? It's definitely Creativity. 

                                                                     BE UNIQUE

   Creativity to me is:

A. Thinking outside the box: What comes to your mind when you hear thinking outside the box? It means knowing and understanding how your environment (e.g fashion, business, technology e.t.c) operates, but having a different understanding enough for you to stand out. When you have to be in situation to change or do anything, always take a different approach.

B. Imagination: Just as the name is, the ability to form images and sensations that have never being seen, heard or felt. When we close our eyes the pictures, the idea that runs through our head, now that's imagination. Our imaginations should always be different. The environment we find ourselves can affect our imaginations but always remember to imagine the impossible.

C. Reality: Bringing to light our imaginations and thoughts that's what reality is. There can’t be creativity without reality. Reality does not mean it has to look real to everyone, but don't forget there is a thin line between plain stupidity and Creativity, try not to overdo it.

                                                                     STAND OUT

  Creativity is more than just being able to make a pretty collage - though that, undoubtedly, is part of creativity. Creativity is the ability to look at old, familiar things from a new perspective; to dream up new ideas; to express one’s self in various different ways. Creativity is what enables a masterpiece of art to be produced. Great paintings, sculptures, novels, plays and musicals are all born from a creative spirit.  In fact, without creativity, no renowned scientist would ever have achieved what he or she did.

Creativity is deeper than art and invention. What do I mean? It is a definite boon to be a creative dresser, a creative conversationalist or dancer. People tend to want to listen more to a man or woman who can talk about a wide spectrum of topics other than his or her job or boring life. Needless to say, a certain amount of wide reading is required, but it takes a spark of creativity to present such knowledge in an interesting, yet not overbearing way. 

       

        Get this, talent is inborn but creativity is made and tamed, hence parents need to be creative with their children, so that they in turn will have their creativity nurtured. Telling interesting and amusing stories, coaxing children to eat their food and dishing out minimal punishments and advices which will effectively help the children learn from their mistakes, all come from creativity. It does take creativity for a business, marriage or any relationship to work out, to make every day a couple has together meaningful and Special. Yeah that takes creativity.

Hence creativity to me is as important to me as Life. Whenever you imagine something try to follow it, be open minded to learn new things.
