Lesson 2- Defining Creativity

Lectured by Mr.Mustaffa Muzer

Creativity! Taking the word of Haggins, creativity will be a process that generates something new that has value.

For me, after looking through the lecture notes, searching over the internet, i came out with the idea that creativity is an ability to generates idea to manifest them from a simple thought to reality. According to the lecturer, creativity is one thing that own by every single walk life, and not just domain artist. No matter who they are, they can have creativity as long as they are willing so. As it was quoted Thomas Edison '1 % of inspiration, 99% of perspiration'.

What kind of attitudes should be owned by a creative person?
◦ Curiosity
◦ Seeing problems as interesting and acceptable
◦ Face Challenge
◦ Constructive Discontent
◦ Optimism
◦ Suspending Judgment
◦ Seeing that led to improvements and solutions to obstacles
◦ Perseverance
◦ Flexible and imaginative

At the end of the lecture, i learned that creativity is one that needed to be put effort to work on it. People are not born with creativity, but they work hard to get it.
