" Creativity is contagious, Pass it on".A famous and inspiring quote by Albert Einstein. While reflecting on these words, what would come across your mind first? ...
Who and what would you think of ?
MOST importantly, how do we
judge or hold the concept of creativity?
I am sure it means differently to every individuals
If I would think of 5 WORDS ASSOCIATED WITH CREATIVITY, I would say:
Originality
I think of this word because in the content of creativity, something new and different has to be created. The idea is to provide something that would hold aesthetic value and at the same time capturing the attention of the audience.

Being creative is to create new form of art or self-expression that has never been seen before. For example, the artist in the video below, Natalie Irish creates a potrait using her lipstick. I would say it is original in the content of creativity from my perspective becoz it's a new exploration for me.Well, also as a FCM student, I learnt that what's important is how we make use of things around us and transform it into an art :D
Believing
I feel that it's important to believe in our own capabilities.We should not look down or doubt ourselves.When we talk about creativity, I personally feel that one is able to be creative if we believe in the thoughts of many things we could do and go beyond our limit. Then only we won't be afraid to do the impossible and let our emotion, thoughts, and imagination flow freely in both our mind and soul aside from leading us to a higher achievement....^^

Impression
The ability of making an impression is foremost important.One need to think creatively and act accordingly to impress any individuals.For instance, in the world of business, there is a high level of competition from rival companies in the same industry. So, it all comes down to which company is able to take the upper hand by coming up with new ideas and innovation that will impress customers and investors. It should be something new and unique to the people we want to sell it to. Hence, I would say that my own definition of creativity is the ability to impress and interconnect with someone through ideas, thoughts, believes,or even the end-product itself.
Value
An art, idea, sketches, products,and such more holds different value in the context of society.The concept of creativity lies on how valuable a thing or subject is.I mean ,one could come out with a creative product but the world is a harsh reality. Not only it should hold meaningful value from our perspective but it also need to stand up to the requirement of a certain person or the society itself since cultural background and difference in thinking are interconnected and should be taken into consideration in this matter.

Imagination
There is a saying that chidren are individuals with the most highest level of imagination. Who doesn't do that back when we were kids??? As kids, we would be curious about the world and ask many questions to ourselves. "Imagination as well as careful observation cultivate creativity".That is what my lecturer always tells us.Creativity indeed lies on imagination itself. When I imagine things, it helps me to generate ideas or new thoughts .It's thanks to our dreams and imagination that sparks the idea to something new or the ability to come up with a creative solution.
In contrast, 5 WORDS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH CREATIVITY are:
STAGNANT
I feel that this word has nothing to do with creativity because a creative person would not stuck in the same place.Instead, they make improvement and make paradigm shift in terms of developing creative thinking with outstanding and unique thought of their own.
DULL
The word dull is not associated with creativity simply because creativity is all about being lively, whether in making self-expression or let imagination roam freely both in our mind and soul.
IMPOSSIBLE
There is no such thing as impossible in the vocabulary of a creative person.When one assume to be unable to achieve something,it will kill the creative side of an individual and the ability to think as well. Hence, impossible is a word that is not associated with creativity..... :)

LOSER & WINNER
Being creative is not about winning or losing.To me, I think that creativity is about enjoy the flow of imaginations, dreams , hallucinations, nightmare and such more. It is also about experiencing the joy and fun of the process of creativity itself ^^ .Besides, the one we should overcome is ourself, not competing with others in term of being creative .......
