I appreciate how Sir Ken defines creativity for all human beings: “Creativity is not a separate faculty that some people have and others do not. The truth is, we all possess varying creative capabilities because creativity is a function of intelligence. Therefore, creativity is possible in any activity that actively engages human intelligence.” I am drawn to the idea that creativity is not limited to the arts but can be applied to almost anything. Previously, I believed that creativity was a talent given by nature to only a select few. Now, I realize that creativity is not exclusive to specific individuals; it is for everyone in this world and can manifest in anything we do daily.
As Kermit the Frog said, “We literally create every single day for ourselves through our cultural perspectives and our belief systems.” This is indeed true. We live in a world that demands constant creation, and we craft our own worlds through our decisions and the paths we choose. I believe this ideology is perfect for understanding and making a difference in the world. I’ve come to realize that being creative is part of daily living and happens in everyday life. Moreover, we can start being creative anywhere.
Additionally, I really appreciate the notion that the best part of creativity involves collaboration with friends and colleagues. This is profoundly true. Such collaboration has a tremendous impact on the world and contributes to every aspect of life. By making friends and collaborating with colleagues, we can achieve the most effective and optimal points of a happy life and change in this world, which is a crucial aspect of creativity.
