Psy chologists have found that only about 2% of adults use their creativity , Compared with 10% of seven-year-old children. When five-year-old children were tested, the results rose to 90% ! Curiosity and originality are daily occurrences for the small child, but some how most of us lose the freedom and flexibility of the child as we grow older. The need to “follow directions” and “do-it-right”, plus the many social limits we put on ourselves,prevent us from using our creative potential.
It is never too late to tap our creative potential . Some of us ,however,find it diffcult to think in imaginative and flexible ways because of our set pattern of approaching to situations , we close our minds to creative possibilities.
Being creative doesn’t necessarily mean being a genius.It means looking at situations in a new way or putting something together in a new form that makes sense. Spontaneity is one of the key elements of creativity.
If you were to ask someone ,“What’s half of eight?” and received the answer,“Zero,”you might laugh and say,“That’s wrong!”But the figure 8 can be seen as two zeros,one on top of the other; it can also be seen as3’s standing face to face.
The ability to see our environment in new ways opens our eyes and allows us to make all kinds of discoveries.If each of us asked the question“Why?” more often and investigated “other” alternatives to problem solving, our lives would be more interesting and exciting.
