"Creativity is all about attitude." This quote is from an article that I read last night.
Creativity was always about last minute panic for me. When I am to do something that requires so called creativity all I do is wait for that last minute. Each time panic turns up at the right time if not earlier but creativity...... very rarely. I am not complaining as for the author of panic definition - Mr Calvin - not even panic came at the last minute.
In common vocabulary creativity is a word associated with special deeds such as painting, writing poetry, sculpting, film making, dancing etc. Let’s break this up. Listed here are activities that individuals do. Painters paint, dancers dance and they are creative….at times.
How about others? Cleaners clean, drivers drive, call centre employees make and take calls.
Individuals and activities? Yes they are too.
Can they be creative? YES they sure can be.
A lot of popular singers sing in an uncreative way. Many an artists are copycats with little creativity. On the other hand a beggar can be extremely creative in the way he/she squeezes sympathetic currency from the world. Every individual can be creative if they enjoy what they do and are ready to put in their best of efforts in doing something original.
It’s not about what you do. It’s all about HOW you do that what.
I got a full load of dirty clothes in my laundry bag. Where are my creative wings? Da Vinci had a brush and a canvas to showcase his creativity. I got a pile of clothes and a box of washing powder to show off mine. Well….
One of my favourite T-shirts from my school days had a writing on it that read “Attitude is everything”. I didn’t fully understand it then but I know I really miss that T-shirt now.
