What is creativity?

CREATIVITY IS INFINITY

According to E.Franken (1988) creativity is defined as the tendency to generate or recognize ideas, alternatives, or possibilities that may be useful in solving problems, communicating with others, and entertaining ourselves and others.

Three reasons why people are motivated to be creative:

1. need for novel, varied, and complex stimulation
2. need to communicate ideas and values
3. need to solve problem

Meanwhile, Naiman (2010) stated about her own opinion of creativity in her website entitled 'Creativity at Work: Articles & Tips'. She stated that creativity involves two processes: thinking, then producing. Innovation is the production or implementation of an idea. If you have ideas, but don't act on them, you are imaginative but not creative.

If I stated out everything that I've got from the Net I think this page will never end. There's too much opinions about creativity as everyone has their own perceptions on that subject. For me, creativity is a very broad subject. Sometimes, creativity is a state of mind. Or simply put - a mood. It simply means that creativity can be related to mood swing. Anyone can be creative, feel creative and do something creative. Every so often mood is related to creativity. some people normally produce something something creative when they are in such a good mood however I have a very weird habit...I usually get creative ideas whenever I feel sleepy...which is kind of weird, right? When I think about it over and over I really have no idea how does that happen..hahaha

So, back to our topic. Well, the universal truth is anyone can be creative: designers, managers, cooks, developers, you name it. Even a blogger is far more creative than others....so start signing up as a blogger to be creative!haha..just kidding...If it is that easy, every single person in the world is creative without any sweat...As Aristotle once quoted, 'the secret of success is to know something nobody else knows' which surely means that creativity is one of the key to success. All in all, creativity is infinity. There's no right and wrong, no black and white in being creative...

"Creativity is the process of bringing something new into being...creativity requires passion and commitment. Out of the creative act is born symbols and myths. It brings to our awareness what was previously hidden and points to new life. The experience is one of heightened consciousness-ecstasy."
