The notion that everyone has the potential to be creative doesn’t effectively increase competition and make it harder to be recognized as a professional creative industries practitioner. Even though everyone is in some way creative or imaginative does not mean that they will be successful. This is because of three main reasons. Some people have greater ability at being creative and imaginative than others. Some people don’t have the time or resources necessary to reach their creative potential. And others simply think that creativity is not something that they can make a living from and therefore don’t embrace or develop their imagination.
Creativity is the process in which a person discovers new ideas or concepts, or new associations

The same concept applies to creativity. If you show some basic ability in being creative doesn’t mean you will be successful, it is possible, but highly unlikely. The study mentioned above reveals that we are naturally creative and as we grow up we learn to be uncreative. This means that like almost every other industry in the world, it is only the one who excel in their individual field that are most likely to be noticed and become successful. Although there are some techniques to improve your creative ability, think of them as soccer training. It will improve your skills, but to play at the top, a person is going to need a certain amount of natural talent as well as years of training. Although everyone is born with similar amounts of natural talent, that which is left at the beginning of adulthood is far more important. It is during our journey to adulthood that is where we lose it all. Throughout our childhood we are taught to be less creative. In early childhood, we reach a point where our parents give up and tell us to stop asking so many questions. During our schooling, we are told to conform to the approved practices and to automatically accept everything that is said by the teachers as absolute fact. Socially we learn that to be accepted we must abandon creative activities such as art and writing as it is considered “uncool”. And so by the time we reach
In this video Ken Robinson touches on three main points. His first point he was talking about the education system and one's creativity. He gave two anecdotes about kids that showed that they are willing to take a chance and be creative. If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original. He believes that the education system institutionalizes people, and that people lose the creativity they had.
Creativity drives today’s world, with new technology arriving daily and science conducting itself further. We need creative and imaginative people in today’s atmosphere to bring the world to the next step forward. “Standardized college admissions tests assess only analytical skills, as well as the knowledge base on which they act, and completely ignore creative and practical skills (Sternberg 7)”. Without creative people in this world, where do you think we would be? Not very far. We need practical skills to go throughout everyday life. The standardized tests don’t test for that knowledge base, they test how much short term memory a
In the context of creativity’s stated definition, we will proceed to group our arguments into three themes of factors: cognitive ability, expertise training, and environmental conditions. The human brain is highly adaptable and can continue to develop new cognitive abilities, even past adulthood (Norman, 2015). Proper cognitive expertise and training can help workers produce and operate in ingenious ways (Ginamarie, Lertiz & Mumford, 2004). Finally, the working environment can both motivate or stifle creative output. Managers can influence all three components: expertise, thinking skills, and motivation (Amabile, 1998).
The first thing that comes to our minds when we think of “creativity” is things that have to do with arts. This is not true. Being creativity and having creativity can also be used in many activities or professions such as in businesses, creating a sport team, and in any other things you name it. Robinson has taught this through his book, “Out of Our Minds” but also how writers and artist see the world a little different compared to how others, scientists, mathematicians, historians, and psychologists look at the world. Also how educations and ageing plays a role in our creativity.
Creativity is often more about the process rather than the end project, it is useful for many reasons:
Paulus & Nijstad (2003) defined creativity as “the development of original ideas that are useful or influential”(p.3). That is to say,
There is an invisible key that we all hold, unlocking our gifts and talents. There is no stopping us from using this key that we cannot see. But what if we did not know that we held this key? Creativity can be viewed in the same way, not ever knowing the capacity that is within us, an invisible force that seems to take over us when we are in state of happiness, doing what we love. Creativity activated gives you and I the solutions to big problems.
Creativity is not only about having ideas, but the capacity to implement them or this just remains an idea of rhetoric and symbolic politics.
Historically, creativity has caused technological advancements and cultural progression. Soon, hopefully within my lifetime, technology will outpace the current labor system. Robots and computers will completely replace manufacturing jobs, service jobs, and all repetitive jobs. Workers instead will be able to focus on creative work, such as crafts and trades, design, art and music, and thinking. The majority of the labor market will soon be forced into these creative roles that don't just maintain the flow of the world, but work only to advance our culture and standard of
In all fifty states there is a system wanted for killing all 50.4 million creative minds. This system is the school system. Students in schools are being robbed from their creativity by the school system by the school system not being mindful of how many different minds there are in all the students. There are so many different careers in the world to match these students creative minds. Sadly the schools of today’s generation are not properly preparing students for all these creative careers.
Creativity is the ability to reconfigure what you know, often in the light of new information and come up with an original concept or idea. In order to be creative, a person must be critical, selective and generally intelligent.
It is the feeling you get when falling in love. It might not be the most appropriate business metaphor but stay with me a bit longer. When you boil it down, perhaps creativity is simply falling in love with the world around us.
The term creativity is used for the purpose of describing the ability that is concerned with the process of creating something new or valuable. This ability allows a person to surpass the rules, practices, methods, forms or similar kind of activities that the traditional society may be performing at that time. Creativity is one of the most important things that have allowed the people of the society to move forward and urge for development. All the development that has been made in various aspects of human life can be directly connected with the creativity. All the industry leaders of the world have secured this place because of the level of creativity and innovation that they showed. They used this creativity for creating something new that has allowed them to develop completely new methods for this purpose.
Dixie: “How to Build Your Creativity” is what I read in the sights and sound folder today. Everyone is capable of creativity. Everyone says Scott Lamps. Everyone says Scott Lamps. He says there are 4 simple steps to building your creativity. 1.) The Process-Understanding What Is Creativity. 2.) Who Are You? Embracing Your Individuality. 3.) Find-Time-Making Time to Develop your Ideas. 4.) Write it Down-Documenting Your Ideas as They Come. I truly think that this is really good advice and will put this to use when using creative writing. Creative is a skill that can be learned over time with a little effort and a little patience. This is another piece of advice that Scott Lamps had to offer. There is a lot more advice on this reading that I
By living in an area where things don’t come so easy, creativity would be at its peak because it would actually be promoted under many circumstances. For example, according to Csikszentmihaly, circumstances that promote creativity is in an educational setting. By not having a technological device to assist me, engaging and occupying the mind with many interests will eventually promote talents as well as ideas. I would achieve a creative breakthrough by simply being in a surrounding where my mind is constantly practicing creative techniques in order to survive. I would experience stimulation and variation by being around diverse colleagues, which I would experience diversity and be involved in discussion. The domain I feel that would best reflect my potential is sports. To express oneself is freeing oneself. The greatest prisoner is not someone who is physically locked up behind bars, but someone whom strives to be like someone else, by keeping their inner ambitions chained up, and dictated by inner perceptions of others. The rules and practices of my domain will then transmit to me, which will then produce a new variation in my domain, which then I must be admitted by the field for inclusion in the domain. This will push me to increase my
