How to be creative

CREATIVITY

The human brain is not designed to be creative.It is designed to set up routine patterns and to use and follow these patterns.we may need to use routine patterns 98% of the time and only to be creative 2% of the time.To show this,there is a game where you start with a letter and then add another letter,a whole word has to be formed.

Start with a

Add t. The new word is at

Add c. The new word is cat

Add o. The new word is coat

Add r. The new word is actor

Until the addition of the ?r? it was quite simple to add the new letter to the existing ones to form a new word.With the r it was necessary to go back and completely restructure the use of the previous words.

We live over time.New information comes in over time.we add this new information to what we already have to go back and restructure what we had before.This is creativity.More often we are not forced to go back.we stick to what we have.If we choose to go back and restructure then we get a much better arrangement.This is creativity we choose to use.If doors are normally rectangular and you suggest a triangular door,that is not creative in less you can show value for the new shape.

The argument that creativity cannot be taught is usually based on pointing to extreme cases of creativity talent,such as Einstein,Newton.But imagine a row of people lined up to run a race.The starting signal is given and the race is run.someone comes first and someone comes last.Their performance depends on their natural running ability.

Now if all the runners have some training ,they all finish the race much faster than before.However,someone still first and someone still comes last.

So if we do nothing about creativity then obviously creative ability depends only on natural talent.But if we provide training,structures and systematic techniques,then we raise the general level of creative ability.Some people will be much better than others but everyone will acquire some creative skill.

Creativity is no longer a mysterious gift or special talent.we can now see creativity as the behavior of a self organizing information system that makes patterns which is your brain.Once we can understand the underlying system,then we can design tools for the deliberate use of creativity.These tools can be very powerful.It need no longer be a matter of sitting and waiting for ideas and inspiration.We can do certain things that will result in the brain having new ideas.

THE RANDOM WORD TOOL FOR CREATIVITY ?

You have your focus.you know where you want to generate new ideas.You then obtain a random word. Nouns are easiest to use,so use a noun.You can obtain your random word in several ways.

You may keep a list of 60 words on a card in your pocket.You then glance at your watch.If the second hand shows 27 seconds,you select word number 27 from your list.

You could also choose a page number in a dictionary and then specify the tenth(or other) word down on that page.You continue downwards until you come to a noun.You could do this with any book with a page and line number.

You could put words written on slips of paper into a bag and then pick one out.

All of these are practical ways of obtaining a random word.Once you have your random word,you then use this random word to generate ideas about the subject.

is passion required for success?

PASSION HYPOTHESIS

We all listen from our childhood that to be successful in any stream you have to be passionate about something,but when you watch successful people around you or in world,you noticed that many successful people find their career not by follow their passion but because of hard work and persistent about their work,even no passion in first impression about that particular work.Prime example is former Apple CEO steve jobs.In june 2005,steve jobs took the podium at stanford stadim to give speech to stanford?s graduating class.Jobs addressed a crowd of 23,000 with a short speech that drew lessons from his life.Jobs offered the following advice:-

You've got to find what you love.The only way to do great work is to love what you do.If you haven't found it yet, keep looking and don't settle.

In other words, many of the millions of people who viewed this speech were excited to see steve jobs- a guru of iconoclastic thinking- put his stamp of approval on an immensely appealing piece of popular career advice.But when you watch the real story of steve jobs and the founding of apple computer.You could say-

Do what steve jobs did,not what he said.

If you had met a young steve jobs in the years leading up to his founding of apple computer,you wouldn't have pegged him as someone who was passionate about starting a technology company.

Jobs wasn't particularly interested in either business or electronics as a student.He instead studied western history and dance and dabbled in eastern mysticism.In 1974,a local engineer and entrepreneur Alex Kamradt started a computer time-sharing company dubbed call-in computer.Kamradt approached steve wozniak(steve jobs friend) to design a terminal device he could sell to clients to use for accessing his central computer.

Unlike jobs,Wozniak was a true electronics whiz who has obsessed with technology.On the flip side,Wozniak couldn't stomach business,so he allowed jobs,a longtime friend,to handle the details of the arrangement.

I tell this story because these are hardly the action of someone passionate about technology ,yet this was less than a year before jobs started Apple computer.In other words,in the months leading up to the start of his visionary company,steve jobs was something of a conflicted young man,dabbling in electronics only when it promised to earn him quick cash.

So,there are two theories in the world for be successful:-

1.Do,what you love

2.Love,what you do.

Choose smartly between two.
