In this Ted Talk, I agree with several points. Firstly, creativity is not a separate faculty that only a few possess, but it is a function of intelligence that everyone has. Creativity can be found in any activity that engages human intelligence. Additionally, creativity is not limited to a specific field or profession. It can manifest in various forms and different areas of life, whether it’s art, science, business, or even everyday tasks. Creativity also requires taking risks and exploring new perspectives and ideas. Failure is a natural part of the creative process, and it should not be feared but embraced as an opportunity to learn and grow. Furthermore, the “beginner’s mind” concept resonates with me, as it emphasizes openness, curiosity, and a willingness to approach things with fresh eyes, like a child exploring the world.
However, there are some points in the Ted Talk that I don’t necessarily agree with. For example, the statement that creativity is the true engine of the economy, while it can certainly contribute to economic growth and innovation, there are also other factors at play. Additionally, the idea that everyone is inherently creative is a subjective claim. While everyone has the capacity for creativity, the extent to which it is expressed and developed may vary among individuals.
