“Creativity is intelligence having fun” – Albert Einstein
Highly successful people are creative. Over here creative means the ability to create something from a thought to actual existence. Successful people are creative people; they create a lot of stuff. Their work impacts a thousand or millions or billions of people. You need to generate a massive amount of stuff to be successful in this age. You need to be creative, rather highly creative. If you think some people are just born that way (and you’re not one of them), think again. Experts say we all have a wellspring of creative energy. The secret is how to tap it. An artist once said that a change of perspective would boost your creative thinking. Our society doesn’t approve of creativity, nor does it ever encourage it. Why? Because it never wants people to think for themselves or create their own paths in life. Think back from the point you were a child to the point you are an adult- you are always told what to do by society and that you have to do it. School actually limits our creativity more than anything else because it is so egregious and is solely focused on how well you can cram and memorize things you will forget right after the fact, which is why we all hate it.
“Every child is an artist; the problem is staying an artist when you grow up.”- Pablo Picasso (Spanish painter)
Without creativity there would be no innovation. We would continue to be cavemen. They say some of the most creative people work for Apple and that they regularly set time aside from each day to brainstorm and let their minds take them somewhere that they didn't think existed.
You are blessed with creativity. It can be in any industry, so go out there and don’t be afraid to show it to the world. The saddest thing in the world is a wasted talent. Don’t be just that. Live up to your potential.
“To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong” – Joseph Pearce (Writer)
Creative people invent, imagine, problem-solve, create, and communicate in fresh, new ways. Every business requires creative thinkers in the form of scientists, engineers, medical researchers, technology innovators, business entrepreneurs, artists, performers, writers and illustrators, designers, inventors, educators and parents. Those with the ability to "think outside of the box" will lead the future and make special things happen.
