How do you display creativity in your home? :::::::::::::::::::::::
1)By thinking out of the box.
2)By multi-tasking
3)By training your mind for imagination.
4)By displaying fearlessness
1)By this, we mean to think in an alternate way.Since childhood,we have been trained by our school teachers,priests and parents to think straight,like everybody in your crowd.Now, be a rebel and break that 'code'of obedience,because obediece has never produced any creativity!My dear parents,this is not an insult to them,but my message to be creative.See the magic of creativity working.For instance,take an example of a walk.While everyone has been taught to walk according to manners,etiquette and within law,you try to walk in your own natural style in which you are comfortable.This type of walk may be slightly 'different' from others,but at least it will be your own walk,in which your are fine.And,never mind if others notice a change.Ultimately,it will be your own 'branded walk' and in due course of time,you will be known by your walk and not by your name............Same thing with other aspects of your personality.
2)By multi-tasking,it means doibg number of tasks simaltaneously.You may laugh at me for stating this,but its possible and the benefit is saving precious time,apart from learning some ceativity.For instance,when I get up in the morning,I brush my teeth and then read the newspaper with a cup of tea by my side.I read an article and then take a sip.This way,I enjoy tea and read newspaper simaltaneously.
Soon,breakfast time comes.I take out my shaving kit and put it aside, and go to the kitchen to make my breakfast.I put some slices of bread in the toaster and an egg for boiling in a small water container.Meanwhile, I start shaving.I shave once and go to the kitchen to check bread slices and the egg kept on very slow fire.Again,I shave the second time and thus have completed my shave and go to the kitchen for re-check of my breakfast.From the look of things,I assume that it will require some some 5 minutes more for my breakfast to be ready.In this time,I have a quick hot water shower bath.I get ready and come out to eat hot boiled egg and buttered toast.If you go through my article,you will notice,I have performed 4 tasks in a shortest possible time and saved a substantial time in the process.
Many people will find this life weird,but I am doing it because,I like it and know the value of time.
3)How do you train your mind for imagination?By visual imagery.Suppose you are a film director and you want a war scene in your movie.So,first imagine a war scene,making a mental picture and then use visual imagery seeing it through your 'minds eye'.This way,you will prepare armed men on horses with weapons and a fight scene can be visualised in your mind first and seeing through your 'mind's eye'later.Mind you,imagination does not necessarily result in creativity,but will be a way to creativity.And,imagination can be non-creative also.Take an example of Sir Issac Newton.He discovered a law of gavity,which was already existing in nature.But,he used his imagination to come up with such a discovery and this was not an invention.So,how to be creative in imagination?Look for 'anticipative'imagination.In this you will 'anticipate'what might happen with your task.If you believe in your task to be successful and true, you can really 'make'it come true!
If you want to be truly creative in imagination,then the best way is to note down by your pen on a paper different alternatives of a task.This will result into a number of ideas brain-storming your mind.At least,one idea will might fit your task.
4)Try,try till you succeed.You know about the Bruce and the spider story.There will be many oppositions from many quarter and almost everyone will block your way for your new product,but stay fearless and please bank on your life also.Finally,when you discover something new for the benefit of humanity,these same people will make a hero out of you!What a change in their attitude?Yes, the world is made that way.There is s saying here.............A creative man is garlanded with shoes when alive,and with roses when he is dead!............
So,if you chicken out midway,you can never be creative in life.Weather the storms,insults,braickbats,but stick firm in your mission.
