Creativity can be anywhere

Many may ask if everyone is creative, then why there are only a few person who also know as genius can stand out among the most, are they really special or different than us?
look what edison say to us
Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
Thomas A. Edison

Yup, these genius learn and learn, work and work every second in their life and finally lead to a road to success. A man creativity grow by learning in daily-life, maybe you are not realish your design are influence by your daily experience, by the world surrounding you.

Or we look at the creative process which mention by Graham Wallas

Creative Process
According to Graham Wallas, creative insights and illuminations may be explained by a process consisting of 5 stages.

  1.  preparation (preparatory work on a problem that focuses the individual's mind on the problem and explores the problem's dimensions),
  2. incubation (where the problem is internalized into the unconscious mind and nothing appears externally to be happening),
  3. intimation (the creative person gets a "feeling" that a solution is on its way), 
  4. illumination or insight (where the creative idea bursts forth from its preconscious processing into conscious awareness); and 
  5. verification (where the idea is consciously verified, elaborated, and then applied).
Everyone will pass through these 5 process when they apply their creativity. But the different between a success and failure is how many time you repeat these 5 process. People learning from failure, thinking positively and apply the new idea. How perseverance are you can change your life.

However, the most important part is we should think outside the box. All of us are trap inside our own impoverished knowledge. So, starting from now, learning from each others, accept critism from others and improve yourself. One day, your creativity will be generally acknowledged by the world.

A man, as a general rule, owes very little to what he is born with - a man is what he makes of himself.
Alexander Graham Bell
