The Creativity

Creativity means generation of new ideas or new ways. It might not necessary be really new like novelty. But to be novelty, creativity does play its role which is creative thinking. Creativity is a combination of thinking skill, resources and internal motivation. It has ability and power with using imagination and skills.A person doesn't only tends to develop,invent and produce but as well as thinking and imagine plus use the talent to become inventive. 
Creativity thinking is something ability of thinking outside of the box. It must be something which is uncommon among our community. Originality is considered to be a sufficient condition for creativity. In conclusion, creativity is something which should be fresh and original. Creative things can only be produce by creative thinking which is ability of thinking outside of the box. Creativity and Intelligence are almost the same but creativity has more depth than intelligence because intelligence is something common while creativity is something uncommon among the human community. But, to understand the term of creativity, we must have the intelligence.

There are two types of creative thinking. One is C (Big C) and another one is c (small c). There are difference between them. The Big C represent the creative thinking which not everyone could able to think and produce something which is new and uncommon in our daily life when while small c represent creative thinking which everyone able to think and produce something which is new but it is common among the human community when we look at a bigger perspective.
Four types of Creativity:


* Aesthetic Organizers
* Boundary Pusher
- take existing idea an push further
* Inventors
- take existing idea and create new ideas
* Boundary Breakers
- Leonardos and the Copernicuses

Being an Aesthetic Organizers is something which is represent by everyone. Everyone in this world are Aesthetic Organizers. Most of the creative people are Boundary Pusher. They don't think much of new ideas because they just use the same ideas but just kind of slightly different from others. A group of the people can be known as Inventors. They just use the existing ideas but create something new. They produce it in different ways. But being Boundary Breakers is kinda tough and very rare of people are Boundary Breakers they produce something which is very new, beyond and different perspective which they turn out Virtually into Reality.


There are three reasons why people are motivated to be creative:

1. need for novel, varied and complex stimulation
2. need to communicate ideas and values
3. need to solve problems

How do we want to be creative?


  • Look at artwork in galleries and museums. Read books and magazines. Use your senses and experience stimulates your memory and imagination.


  • Develop your skills.
    - Skills build confidence so work to improve your techniques.


  • Make creative thinking a part of your daily life.


  • - Ask question. Vary routines. Do the unexpected. You feel more mentally alert.


  • Smash creative blocks.
    - Change the problem or sneak up on it from a different direction. Try something fresh – a new way with an old theme.

  •                                Some of the coolest invention for our daily life








    In conclusion, to be creative, we need to be able to view things in new ways and different angle plus perspective. Among other things, you need to be able to generate new possibilities or new alternatives. Tests of creativity measure not only the number of alternatives that people can generate but the uniqueness of those alternatives. The ability to generate alternatives or to see things uniquely does not occur by change; it is linked to other and more fundamental qualities of thinking such as flexibility, tolerance of ambiguity or unpredictability and the enjoyment of things. So, creative leads us to novelty, innovation and last but not least invention.
