- Defining Creativity -

Creativity

The generation of new idea or a new way of doing things. 

On today's MLC class, i've learned :

1. Myths of Creativity
2. The big 'C' and the small 'c'
3. Types of Creativity

We've been told to post something about the "Google Guys" (Larry Page & Sergey Brin) and/or the "Microsoft Guy" (Bill Gates) that has something to do with Innovation, Invention, Novelty and Creativity. and i decided to write something about Bill Gates.

So, what does Bill Gates has something to do with Innovation, Invention, Novelty and Creativity? Well, if we observe a little bit more about him, we know that he have all the above criteria in his works and continue improving it.


He created Windows and other programs and he did modified some computer programs. = Invention & Innovation
The products which is Microsoft etc. are very useful and really help people and businesses realize their full potential.  = Novelty
He did many studies and researches in order to improve his products and end up with something new. = Creativity

- Introduction to Creativity -

Today in class, Mr. Radzi gave us lectures about CREATIVITY. What exactly meant by the word 'creativity'? Well, according to some references, creativity is meant by the use of the imagination or original ideas, esp. in the production of an artistic work. 

For me, I would say that creativity is actually about the way of thinking which can lead into something new.

What i've learned today :

- we do need to have the creative thinking but it depends on us to use it in a positive or negative ways. Just like the pirates of the Somalian, They ARE creative but they use it on the negative way, that is why they can't be captured nor defeated until today. They think on how they can do all the bad things without being caught.

conclusion : Creativity IS Painful
