Introduction: Personal experience – Not using creativity due to societal pressure

When you grow up you tend to get told the world is the way it is and your job is just to live your life
inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family life, have fun, save a
little money.

That's a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact, and that is -
everything around you that you call life, was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And
you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.

t if you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original," he said. He
bemoaned the fact we often "get educated out of creativity", seeing it as a failure of the
education system.
Creativity will always provoke your fear. we should allow, or even embrace, our mistakes. Being
imperfect is fine.

Creativity is many things. It is making connections, with yourself or a great other "universal
source", connections that create new ideas; it is embracing fear and the inner critic; it is staying
open-minded.

Creative thinking is like any other skill in life. The more you practise, the better you become.
Highly creative people are good at seeing connections. By enhancing our ability to see
connections, we can enhance your creativity.

The minute that you understand that you can change the way you live ypur life, to live creatively instead
of monotonously, that you can start to change your way of life. You can mould your mind to see things
more creatively and novelly, and train your brain to be better at making new connections abd be more
craetive. That's maybe the most important thing. It's to shake off this erroneous notion that there is
only certan ways to life and you can only live it as if yu were a passenger in a vehicle you are not in
control of. You are the driver of your luife. You can embrace it, change it, improve it. once you learn
it, you'll want to change life and make it better. Once you learn that, you'll never be the same again.

Being curious about everything… We might never emulate Einstein's mathematical ability. But
we can all try to learn from, and copy, Leonardo's curiosity."
