Out of the box

There is this creativity talk on the job. What is it? Experts say creative people are people who can come out with IDEAS..faster than anyone. It doesn't matter what kind of ideas, its how fast these good and bad ideas were churned out fast! The point is, some where will come a brilliant idea to solve the problem on the table. And in a more cost effective and better way.

I feel that if you are able to do that, then you will be a valuable asset to the organisation, as you can the one who comes out with ideas that could make the "gears" tick and move smoothly - a leading light. There are always problems on hand, and in the fast economy, that calls for someone with quick brains and composure. This quality alone can set you apart from another employee and make you more valuable to that employer.

Who does not have problems to solve at any kind of job they may be on?

I feel that thinking out of the box is something that can be learned. The sad thing is that this country needs many of such people in the top leading tier to progress. We are doing fine, but need something extra to jump to the "premier league" of asian countries.

That is why, drastic changes have to be made. Hope they know.

Being creative

I firmly believe everyone is born to be highly creative unless there are some forms of defects which make it unfortunate. My both kids are highly creative, even to the extent of being creative in the wrong areas like ways to make their parents feeling awkward in the public areas. I used to do a test where you answer fifty questions and through the scores, you can know whether you are under which profile, from creative, to mechanical type of person. I have over 70% in the creative sector.

Somehow, I have not felt any creativities in me which I do not why. They say people in this profile sector has new ideas in their head all the time, but somehow, I don't feel anything special brimming inside my brain. Is there anything to worry about? I have another course mate which was in the same profile sector as me and yet he cracked up conversations with exotic themes and ideas. He said that he has many fresh ideas that can make him millionaires. Well, I don't know how he's doing now though as we have lost contact.

Well, coming back to think of it, every one of us was born creative but most of us lost the ability by the time we grew up because of self-imposed restrictions.
