Creativity is not talent.
According to Cleese’s, creativity is what happens in everyday life. You train
yourself to be creative and it is not hard to be creative. In my perspective,
creativity is when you are inspired by external factors of the environment
where you live in or when you are pushed to be creative as doing an creative
assignment in class. It is talent too. When you are able to think uniquely
every time, everywhere; it means you have to have that inner quality inside of
you.
First of all, thinking openly is
one factor that helps you be creative. An open mode is a situation that a
person is ready to take any idea that comes from the outside of their mind. The
person is able to force herself to adjust her mind to think of something
different. For example, there was one time that I came to the airport and got
stuck there for hours. I did neither have a cellphone nor change to call from
the phone booth because no one would exchange my bills to their coins. I was
hopeless. But the more I felt desperate, the more I got stuck in this
situation. Therefore, I forced myself to think more optimistically. I came to a
strange old man and asked him for help. It happened that he agreed to let me
use his cellphone so I could call my parents to pick me up. That should be one
time that an open mode is used in my life.
There is also a true fact that
when you are humorous and ready to make jokes, it makes you become more
creative. Once again I take myself as an example. Apparently, every friend of
mine says that I am crazy because I always joke around them. I laugh more than
necessary and every time I feel happy, I feel hyper and it makes me think of
doing things that other people do not dare to do. It is like a stimulation that
pushes me to a top mood where I am able to be such a creative person. On the
contrary, with a person that is always so serious, supposedly she or he would
not even think outside of the box. The thoughts of that person will be
stereotypical because they are always in one angry, cranky mood to think of
something more positive. When it is not positive, there is no creativity.
As a matter of fact, I cannot
force myself to be at a certain mood. However, I am able to do so when the
external perspectives are stimulus enough to make me be in an exact expression.
Hence, it is sure that creativity is not necessary talent but what you put
yourself into in everyday life. You want yourself to think openly to create new
things. It is good to be positive and open in order to be creative.
