CREATIVITY

Just imagine our life without creativity...it would be dry...toneless and cold..there are the main causes why I want to tell you something about creativity and how everyone could improve this own feature..:)
First of all I want to define, what it is creativity. Creativity can be named as the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality. It involves two processes:
1. Thinking,
2. Reasoning.
And if you have ideas, but do not act on them, you are imaginative, but not creative. Creativity is the process of bringing something new into being, creativity requires passion and commitment.
Generative reseach shows that everyone has creative abilities. The more training you have and the more difficult it is, the greater ability for creative results.
And secondly I would like to view some attitudes about creative person. The features of creativity, that can be improved by everyone:
1) CURIOSITY. It means learning to ask 'why', 'what if' and 'I wonder'. These questions are great to build into your life if you want to be more creative person.
2) SEEING PROBLEMS AS INTERESTING AND ACCEPTABLE. Unfortunatelly, we see often problems as unaccepatable parts of life. Creative people see problems as a natural and normal part of life - in fact they often have a fascination with and are drawn to them.
3) CONFRONTING CHALLENGE. Many of the most creative ideas through out history have come from people, facing a challenge or crisis and rather than runing from it asking 'how can I overcome it?'
4) CONSTRUCTIVE DISCONTENT. Creative people often have a strong awareness of what is wrong with the world around them. Then they take their discountent and let it be a motivation to doing something constructive.
5) OPTIMISM. Creative people generally have a deeply held belief that most problems can be solved.
6) SUSPENDING JUDGMENT. The ability to hold off on judging or critiquing an idea is important in the process of creativity. Often great ideas start as crazy ones - if you criticize it too early the idea will be killed and never developed into something useful and useable.
7) SEEING HURDLES AS LEADING TO IMPROVEMENTS AND SOLUTIONS. Hurdles I mean problems and mistakes. Sometime little problems or mistakes just are stopping an developing ideas.
8) PERSEVERANCE. Creative people, who actually see their ideas come to fruition have the ability to keep them and see them through even when the going gets tough.
9) FLEXIBLE IMAGINATION. Maybe you ever saw a truly creative person at work when they are 'on fire'. They have ability to see a problem or challenge and it's sollutions at the same time, they are conecting their ideas together.
SO as you see every feature demand attention and training. I believe that everyone can do it, we just need to wish to be more creative :)
