Defining CREATIVITY

Generally, the definition of CREATIVITY is the ability to generate innovative ideas and manifest them from thought into reality. The process involves original thinking and then producing. (Wikipedia)Based on my opinion, i think that creativity is when someone thinks differently from the others. Some may be illogical but that is what that makes us different.Life would definitely be boring when we have the same thing over and over again without people creating or invent new ideas for it. People who are studying in creative course should really be thinking outside the box.This means that we cannot give up even though we cannot find any new ideas for something. We really should brainstorm ourselves as creative thinking needs time.It doesn't appear just like that. Therefore, personally i think that we are all creative IF we are positive-minded and doesn't give up when there are no ideas. That is what I have learned especially from Mr.Mustaffa's class when he lectured about Demystifying the Myth of Creativity.

1. Only special talented people are creative.
2. Being creative is hard.
3. Problems are in our life to make it more difficult.
4. I am not creative.
5. Innovation is the domain of geniuses.
6. I have to have brand new ideas in order for me to be considered creative.
7. Brainstorming is hard work.
8. Only artists need to be creative.
9. Using structured creative techniques will hinder my ability to be creative.

From now on, I should really be saying FALSE to all this statements so that I am able to express my creativity and not giving up no matter in what situations. :)These are the statements that he told us to say FALSE to all of it:
