Somewhere deep down in our hearts, we all know that the creative people are the assets of our society. Development and progress in various fields of life depends upon the creative people in many ways. The modern art and literature, philosophy and religion, science and technology, industry and commerce, transportation and communication, agriculture and social institutions owe their origin due to nothing other than the creativity of the humans. Well, it is a fact that the individuals are gifted with creativeness in all these fields and the level of the human endeavour are held in a higher esteem and enjoys the higher status and prestige!
What is Creativity?
Creativity is the ability to make or otherwise bring into existence something new, whether a new solution to a problem, a new method or device, or a new artistic object or form. Well, creativity is also the ability to see things in a new manner! Whereas, creative thinking means that the prediction and/or inferences for the individual are new, original, ingenious, and unusual. The creative thinker is one who explores new areas and makes new observations, new predictions, and new inferences. To some or the other extend, creativity is always present in all human beings at all stages of their lives.
Of course, creativity is a gift from the nature; yet with the environmental forces in the form of education, training and experiences, one can try to develop it. Some researchers believe that creativity has genetic basis; however it is also influenced by cultural background, family environment, and training.
Now, since we know that creativity can be developed over the period of time then lets us cover up some of the steps to Develop Creativity –
1) Develop a Broad & Rich Knowledge Base:
Creative solutions stem from the integration and combination of knowledge that is at the disposal of problem solvers.
2) Foster Independence:
Creative people are willing to take risks and strike out on their own. If we wish to encourage creativity, it is important that society tolerates such independence and even seeks to encourage its development.
3) Encourage the Use of Analogies:
Many creative breakthroughs seem to involve the use of analogies, i.e. recognition of similarities between a new problem and an old one or between a new potential solution and one that has worked before.
4) Encourage Curiosity:
Creative people often have a high level of curiosity. They are interested in different topics, they read widely and they actively seek new experiences. These characteristics help them to expand and enrich their knowledge base.
5) Enhance the Positive Effect:
It has been found that when the people are in a positive mood, they are often more creative than when they are in a neutral or negative mood. People in a good mood think more expressively and tend to see relations between diverse situations more readily. A good mood can enhance creativity.
Well, these aspects determine if a person is creative or not; moreover, these points also explain that how a person can develop creativity!
