Life is Too short

[khodary94]

    There are different ways to communicate; one of my favorites is through visuals as it could illustrate a complete situation just through a picture.  

    This image is a perfect example for communication through visuals. When looking at it, one can imply how important green lands are. This is shown by shaping an area into a lung, which entails that cutting down a tree or removing green lands is unhealthy; just like removing a part of your lung. This discourages the cutting down of trees and prompts or aids in planting new ones.

    It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words, and this image does prove it. Visuals could be a very effective way of communication. It only needs a bit of creativity to send a message.

Solitude

       Often in life we are surrounded by those whom we hold the dearest to our hearts. Let them be family members, friends, lovers or teachers. However, sometimes we are forced to live in solitude, away from all of that. We yearn for the day where we will be back “home”. For the day where we will meet them all again.

      Everyday we live driven by the hope that it is all worth it to meet these people again but relationships aren’t that easy. Even though you may be doing everything in your power for them, they often forget all of that in a moment of anger. Even though you may try to explain it, they won’t listen due to their ignorance on the matter. So what happens when you are forced back to that solitude of yours? It becomes your comfort zone. It becomes your “home” where you belong and you learn to live like that for a long time. You sit in the corner of a room to where you once belonged and think that you are not fit in here anymore.

      You live everyday waiting for the day it is all over. The heart learns to hate them and your mind starts to agree with it. No matter how many times you try to run it in your heard, once the heart and the mind agrees on something then it is over.

Time

      One word, time! Would it suffice to just define time as a dimension? Can it be a measure of duration of events? Time has been a major subject of study in philosophy, and science, however, defining it in a way that is relevant to every field without circularity has constantly eluded scholars. It is said that time was created during the big bang, and since then time is considered to be only moving forward.

      Only moving forward, makes time priceless, as you can never go back. So every hour, minute and second counts. Lost time cannot be retrieved again, what is lost is lost. Therefore, i believe one should manage his/her time carefully and try to make use of every minute. I always had problems with time managment. I constantly keep prograstinating and leave everything before the deadline. It is still an issue for me and i realize it and trying to work on it or fix it. Poor time managing is common among many and it's a severe problem our society holds. Inefficient time managment could be the result of numerous reasons. I believe, it is mainly because an individual is inactive or shows a lack of effort or care. Our society (Egypt) is affected by such behaviour-time wasting. As a result i think that is basically tha is the root of difficulties our society is facing. Developed societies need active individuals to prosper.

     Time managing efficiently is not easy, but not impossible. One could set up a calender or reminders of the responsibility one has. And finally try to be active and do something useful.

Always alternate from each position. Try every seat, the dreamer, realist and critic. To come up with a new idea or a creative one, you should first dream regardless of the practicality of it. Don't limit yourself to a specific concept or a known fact. What are you going to lose for imagining. Then attempt the realist seat. In this seat put effort on how to make your idea practical or how it can be implemented in real life. Evaluate or assess the idea and find the constraints related to it. Last but not the least, the critic position, this seat you start to doubt parts or elements that make up the idea. Each seat is of equal importance. Only one is not enough; one should seek all positions to finally come up with a great product.

Methods of creativity.

A product could be creative if it is revolutionary. A good example would be the iPhone 3g when it was first released, it was considered a revolutionary product. Products could also evolve which is considered creative.

Synthesizing is creative. To be able to combine things into one is creative. For instance, smartphones are synthesis of a lot of products, such as camera, music player…etc.

  Reapplication creativity: Look at something old in a new way. Discover how something can be reapplied. For example, sand surfing,

 Creativity could also be in changing Direction. Meaning that if your goal is to solve a problem, than you should not try to apply a certain solution. Avoid path fixation would be a good example of changing direction

The creativity process

1. Preparation - explore the problem

2. Incubation - think about the problem in an unconscious manner

3. Illumination - get motivated

4. Verification - test it

No matter what don’t stop. Always find a way, be creative to overcome a barrier. First analyze the barrier. Is it a personal one, problem solving or is it environmental ? Spend most of the time defining the difficulty first and then try to solve it.

Collaboration is the key to a creative product. Share ideas or thoughts and combine the good that will lead to a creative product.

[khodary94]

Make mistakes and hope you learn from them. No matter what let others affect you negatively. Keep ideas flowing and select the goods of each.

Be confident !

This is, simply put, amazing!

David Kelly: How to build you're creative confidence.

 David talks about how many are afraid of being creative, worried about being judged upon and identifies that this is the main obstacle many face. Such obstacle, I believe, ruins how a person would think. For example, when one encounters a difficulty, is there only one way to solve that problem? Is it only solved using some king of an equation? Applying creative thinking can also help people. For instance, Doug Dietz machine helped eliminate the fear from the children who were getting an MRI scan. He designed a machine that looks like a toy-that's creative, and it proved to be extremely beneficial. If people like Doug Dietz (creative people) concerned themselves with those who bash their thoughts with negativity, their products would not have seen the light.

Therefore, no matter what you're ideas are, don't be afraid to share them and don't allow anyone to stop you.

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice (Wayne Dyer).
