Are you creative?
Creative thinking is another way which allows to start taking action and doing things. Creative thinking allows us to find different new and original solutions which you are used to solving in one particular way.
-Orly Katz
There is a thief in you school. The staff at school can’t catch the thief. The principal has announced that an award will be given to the person who comes up with an original way of solving the problem. Would you try to come up with something?
You are asked to give a PowerPoint presentation about a really boring author to your class. Would you try to come up with an unusual way to make the boring topic fun and interesting?
Do you relate to the words attributed to Einstein: “Insanity is doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results”?
Have you ever solved something in a different original way which you hadn’t thought of before?
You read about a competition to think of the most original campaign against bullying in school. The winning campaign will be used nationally. Would you enter the competition?
You can work on your creativity:
Creativity is another word for trouble as far as you’re concerned, not something you relate to or want to be involved in. That’s a shame, as no one is born with more creativity than anyone else, but it can be developed and you can learn to be creative. You could start right now! Once you get going, you’ll find that creative ideas and solutions start popping up out of nowhere!
You are somewhat creative:
You do have some sparks of creativity. However, you’re not making the best possible use of this wonderful resource. It’s not too late and you can still “fan the flames” of your creative sparks! You’ll be amazed how great having a bit more creativity in your life can make you feel.
You are very creative:
There’s nothing to add. You eat, sleep, and breathe creativity! You try to see things in different ways and to come up with original solutions. That’s fantastic – keep it up! Creative people don’t see a problem as a difficulty but as another challenge on the way to something interesting and exciting.
