A Creative Life

A Creative Life

 

Life Skills are the skills that one needs to make the most out of life. Certain skills may be more or less significant to you depending on your life circumstances, your culture, beliefs, age, geographic location, etc.                                                                                                                                                                
When we talk about creativity, it matters as a life skill at any age and in all industries. It is a valuable    workplace skill because it can be a useful tool for developing new ideas, increasing efficiency and  devising solutions to complex problems.                                                              

Some of us have natural creativity skills and others can learn and develop it over time.Researchers say that the parts of our brain that we use in regular thinking are totally switched off when we think creatively while other parts of our brain that we do not use everyday are quite active.                                 

Whether you believe it or not, we are all creative by nature. Creativity is one of the most important characteristics of being human. It is one of the main traits that makes us successful as individuals.                                                                                                                                                                                                              

The trouble is that creative thinking is not usually emphasized or developed adequately after elementary school.  It’s encouraged in preschool and the early years but in most learning institutions, it slowly fades away as students are taught to get ready to run the rat race. And while doing so, we all tend to forget what a wise person said a long time ago – “The creative adult is the child who survived."
