And you thought being creative was to become a painter or a writer or a poet...

What does creativity mean to you? Does it mean being a painter, a writer or a poet having tremendous god given gift to become creative? Think again and read on...
4. Keep observing your environment
While traveling to work or anywhere, observe your surroundings. Look at the various billboards and scenery around you. Enjoy
what you see and start asking questions of what-if. I personally enjoy reading all billboards and attach my what-if questions
to advertisements. I try to dig and understand what the creator of the advertiser had in mind when he/she created the piece
of work.
5. Pick up a hobby that you enjoy
Do you have a hobby? If no, then start now by asking yourself what you enjoy. Do you enjoy music? Do you enjoy collecting
items? Do you enjoy entertaining people? Do you enjoy writing? Do you enjoy drawing/painting? Do you enjoy crafts?
Having a hobby helps you in many ways and directly helps you in improving your creativity. It forces you to think out of the
box during the period when you are conducting your hobby. My only hobby is magic. I enjoy entertaining people and hence learn
new moves & techniques all the time and spend some of my time in practicing and mastering them. You might not like magic, but
that’s ok. Try finding something that you like and devote some time to it. You will see a remarkable improvement in your
creative ability.
Closing notes:
There are two sides of the brain, left and right. The right side of the brain is responsible for creativity, whereas the left
side of the brain is logical.
How do you find what type of person you are? If you can remember names more than faces, then you are a left brained person
and if you can remember faces more than names then you are right brained person. This means that either your left or the
right brain has greater impact on you.
Some quotes on creativity:
The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.
Albert Einstein
To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.
Henri L Bergson
There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their
intelligence transform a yellow spot into the sun.
Pablo Picasso
