Kermit the Frog shows us how to be creative by seeing the world with fresh eyes. He says creativity is not just for artists or geniuses, but for anyone who can listen to different voices and viewpoints, even if they come from a talking frog. He says creativity is a freedom of thought in any activity that engages human intelligence. But he also warns us that creativity is not easy. It takes “a ridiculous amount of optimism” and persistence to turn small ideas into big ones. He uses renowned thinkers and creators, such as Michaelangelo and Einstein, to stress his point. These people didn’t just wake up one day with brilliant ideas. They had to work hard and try different things until they found something that actually worked. The most important thing I learned from Kermit’s talk is that creativity needs a “Beginner’s Mind”. It requires one to approach a subject in the same way a child would explore new things. Creativity requires child-like curiosity and optimism. It doesn’t always mean coming up with completely new ideas. It can also be taking multiple perspectives to solve different pieces of the puzzle.
