CREATIVE vs CREATIVITY
Thinking out of the box, in the box, turn it upside down or anyway possible?
From the first week, BOX... BOX... BOX...
Sure get crazy. HATE YOU, BOX!
When thinking too much you ask too many questions in ur mind and you cannot decide and it waste a lot of time. It's true though. Try thinking about deciding what would you have for dinner.
What should I eat? Rice? Noodles? Bread?
Then, Is it filling? Will I get hungry later at night? or etc.
It will take forever for you to eat.
Now it's the "CHALLENGE" for me.. Brain killing. @_@
Left or right brain?
Being an intelligent person or a thinker? Which to choose?
Intelligent as in straight-to-the-point or Thinker as in turn around in circles until you come to an answer?
Who should I choose to be? >.<
Creative-To do something out of the ordinary with combination of both left and right brain's function (laterally thinking). So, how to do this? Smashing your brain and joining with wires? good idea..
CRAZY yet AMAZING....
CREATIVITY-the generation of new ideas or a new way of doing things with the skill of thinking intelligently.
There are many misconceptions on the term of "Creativity"
1. Only special talented people are creative.
Hardwork = Creative.
2. Being creative is hard.
It is the ability to develop creativity.
3. Problems are in our life to make it more difficult.
Problems is the key to learn and makes us find more ways/solutions which makes us creative.
4. I am not creative.
Effort / Time = Creativity.
5. Innovation is the domain of geniuses.
Hardwork + Hardships + Struggles = Innovation / Success.
6. I have to have brand new ideas in order for me to be considered creative.
The truth is there are no new ideas in the world unless the ideas from people like the the Wright brothers,
Albert Einstein and many more. Ideas are recycled by combining old medium/tools forming new things
(novelty) based on environment.

| The Wright Brothers who created the airplane. |
7. Brainstorming is hard work.
There are many ways in brainstorming for ideas. Different people uses different ways like some in
mindmap, point form or even pictures maybe. Who knows...
8. Creativity comes when you least expected.
This happens to me a few times when an idea suddenly popped up when I was bathing. Weird isn't it?
9. Only artists need to be creative.
Not really... Everyone is creative, you just doesn't realized it. When your mother make a lunchbox for your
baby brother, she will make a funny face or character with the ingredients she use so that you baby brother
will eat it. That means your mother is creative in a way. You can be too! Simple things like that is creative.
It's the way you put it to good use.

10. Writer’s block is a greatest obstacle in the creative process.
In other words to totally block your creative zone. We have to regularly use our creative ability in order
to be creative and do not worry in making mistakes. For every mistakes we make makes us gain more
experiences. If you never try it out, you will never know.
"An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail" by Dr. Edwin Land.
11. Using structured creative techniques will hinder my ability to be creative.
Have your own way of thinking out ideas which suits you better. Don't follow others if they way is difficult
to you. Do what you think is possible for yourself. Like they say, "Have it your way..." (slogan from
Burger King). Eventhough Burger King is not really related but the slogan does in someway. ^_^
Creativity-Nobody had the correct definition on creativity but to me Creativity is the way people use their minds in finding solution in everyday life or creating something new despite the problems faced through new ways, techniques and concepts.
Example of creative pendrives.
 |
| Sushi set Pendrives |
 |
| Iron Man pendrive |
 |
Donut pendrive

Well, look at the picture below and think about this for a moment.
Therefore, we have to have balanced in both sides of the brain. Not only the creative side but the logical side too. That means when we create something new which is interesting and useful to us.
