I used to think that creativity is something only artists or special people are born with.  In my early years in school, I have accepted the fact that I lacked artistic or creative ability until I learned, through self-help books and further studies, that we’re all born with creative power.  The difference lies in whether you choose to embrace it. 

 

So what does it really mean to be creative? The Oxford dictionary defines creativity as “involving the use of skill and the imagination to produce something new or a work of art.” On the other hand, Collins Dictionary also tells us that “creative activities involve inventing and making new kinds of things, when you creatively do something, you do it in a new way or you solve problems that produce interesting and unusual results.” In line with these definitions, we can conclude that we can be creative wherever we work and whatever we do, and just like any other skill, it has to be strengthened in order to develop. No one can teach or force us to become creative. It has to come from within. Think of it like a muscle- the more you use ot exercise it, the stronger it becomes.
