Thinking Differently
I really like this quote on creativity from this article on A List Apart:
Creativity is an inborn capacity for thinking differently than most, seeing differently, and making connections and perceiving relationships others miss. But most importantly, it is the ability to then extrapolate contextually useful ways of employing that data: to create something that meets a specific challenge. By this definition, creativity is merely a tool; it does not convey skill.
Thinking differently than most is one of the ways I challenge myself in life. Instead of going along with the “flow” or the status quo, thinking differently allows one to distinguish oneself…
Don’t over do it though. Be glad that you have the capacity to think and act differently. Sometimes you just have to go along with the masses or else you’ll be a completely loner.
