Creator: Are You????

A piece of stone on the way might be kicked, but an artist sees a beautiful image of statue over it. A poet sees a nice poem on the blank piece of paper. Similarly, a mastery technician always thinks to add a new feature on technical means. An important question ‘why everybody does not think so?’ Answer is due to lack of creativity. So the creativity is the degree how you feel, analyze and think.

Look at the history of the Mobile and its technological progress. With each new model, improvements are made. Each new model builds upon the collective creativity of previous models, so that over time, improvements in economy, comfort, and durability take place. Here the creativity lies in the refinement, the step-by-step improvement, rather than in something completely new.

‘Every problem that has been solved can be solved again in a better way.’ How full it, isn't it? If you have already solved the problem, do you imagine for repeating the same task.

What is Creativity?

A simple definition is that creativity is the ability to imagine or invent something new. Creativity is not the ability to create out of nothing (only God can do that), but the ability to generate new ideas by combining, changing, or reapplying existing ideas. Some creative ideas are astonishing and brilliant, while others are just simple, good, practical ideas that no one seems to have thought of yet. Creativity is also an attitude: the ability to accept change and newness, a willingness to play with ideas and possibilities, a flexibility of outlook, the habit of enjoying the good, while looking for ways to improve it. We are socialized into accepting only a small number of permitted or normal things, like chocolate-covered strawberries, for example. The creative person realizes that there are other possibilities, like peanut butter and banana sandwiches, or chocolate-covered prunes.

Creative people work hard and continually to improve ideas and solutions, by making gradual alterations and refinements to their works. Contrary to the mythology surrounding creativity, very, very few works of creative excellence are produced with a single stroke of brilliance or in a frenzy of rapid activity. Much closer to the real truth are the stories of companies who had to take the invention away from the inventor in order to market it because the inventor would have kept on tweaking it and fiddling with it, always trying to make it a little better. The creative person knows that there is always room for improvement.

Creative thinkers do not subscribe to the idea that once a problem has been solved, it can be forgotten, or to the notion that "if it aim’s broke, don't fix it." A creative thinker's philosophy is that "there is no such thing as an insignificant improvement."

Let discuss two creative persons: First is Steve Jobs, the guy who runs Apple and has turned it into one of the most influential technology companies of this decade.  Jobs is notable for two reasons:  the first is his ability to see how technology interacts with people and the second is how it should interact with people.  He is very creative in this respect.  He also has the courage to try new things and explore.  Apple has shaken up almost every market it has entered.
 The second creative person is Julian Assange. He is the creator of the WikiLeaks website that has caused a ruckus around the world.  Assange shows us that with a bit of creativity and determination, you can achieve great feats with minimal resources.  If you have an awesome idea but are then pondering if it's possible, Assange is proof that you should shelve those doubts.First, it is an obvious that everyone is creative. There is no person on this Earth that is incapable of coming up with a new idea. However, our entire educational system and most of our culture is set up to squash the creativity out of you. Instead of trying to learn how to be creative, you really just have to remember how to be creative.

If you have a nagging voice in the back of your head telling you to be more creative, here are 6 simple tips that will push you toward becoming a passionate, creative person.

1. Lower your anxiety level. Fear, insecurity and stress are all creativity killers. Do you have some issue or worry in your life that you could easily solve? It doesn't have to be a big issue, take care of little things. Make sure your car never gets below a quarter tank of gas so the empty light never comes on. Avoid caffeine or other stimulants. Breathe deeply. Meditate. Take care of little problems before they become big problems. The less anxiety you have, the more you'll be able to focus on being creative.

2. Ask more and better questions. Asking questions is the keystone of creative thought. The only way to get something new is to question the old. Every time you ask a question you force yourself to consider other perspectives and to question your preconceptions. Don’t rely on other people’s answers; really figure it out for yourself. Here are some questions to get you started: How can I make this better? Why do we do it this way? Why am I the greatest human being ever to exist?

3. Try new things. Do something that you have never done before. This can be as extreme as finding a new job or as simple as trying Indonesian food. Read a book on a topic you know nothing about. Strike up a conversation with a stranger and ask him/her about his/her past. Trying new things will expand your references and perspective. Finding new ways of looking at the world increases the value of what you already know by letting you find new uses for it.

4. Figure out what you love doing and what makes you happy. This should be an easy task, but some people can’t list more than two or three things. Shouldn’t you be able to fill up a full sheet of paper, both sides, with things that make you happy? If you can only come up with a few, focus on finding more. Your creativity follows your passion and happiness. Artistic expression is its own benefit. It’s the rare artist that makes a living from his art, so passion and happiness are the only two real reasons to create.

5. Forget about your lame excuses. Really, stop with the excuses. They are all lame. There are many people that have it worse than you do that manage to do incredible things.

6. Actually do something. This is the step that actually turns you into a creative person. Thinking about doing something doesn’t make you creative. Talking about doing something won’t do it. The only way to become a creative person is to actually create something. This is the only step that matters. Pick up that pencil and draw! Write! Dance! Carve a robot from a bar of soap! It doesn’t matter! DO IT NOW!

Therefore, you are also a creative one, but you have to think, feel and analyze differently…‘Every problem that has been solved can be solved again in a better way.’ How full it, isn't it? If you have already solved the problem, do you imagine for repeating the same task. Yes!!! If you have already solved the problem, and then try to solve for the better way, that is creativity….
