Creativity

What is Creativity?

Myth of creativity:
Creativity is a very important tool to a development of a person. With creativity is can also enhance our life greatly if we really understand what creativity is.There are several myth of creativity that I grab from my lecturer's note such as:

1. Only special talented people can be creative
2. Being creative is hard
3. Problems are in our life to make it more difficult
4. I am not creative
5. Innovation is the domain of geniuses
6. I have to have a brand new ideas in order for me to be considered creative
7. Brainstorming is hard work

Lets start with the real definition of creativity:
As we can see creativity is define as a brain process to develop and to discover a whole new
idea and concept, or to make a change out of an existing idea and concept.
Creativity is stimulate by the process of understanding a piece of information and turn it
into something new. But there is no one definition of creativity that everyone can agree with.

Creativity can bring something fresh, new, and innovative into being. To achieve creativity, it require passion and commitment. With creativity, people will have the power to realize their imagination or in simple word the ability to create something that they desire. As an example, building a house, you need to imagine how the house would look like, how to built it and with the help of creativity you can realize it.

Furthermore, with creativity you can solve a problem that no else would know. Creativity can create something imitable or only one of its kind. Creativity comes in many forms.Creativity in music, scientific creativity, artistic creativity resulting into beautiful paintings, and sculptures.
Creativity can be simple as ways of cooking, crafting , needle art and so forth.

The important thing to remember about creativity is that, creativity generate our idea and concept as well as producing the end result.
