How to be Creative, review by Alicia Laumann

An interesting article by Matt Richtel, a Pulitzer winning author for the New York times.
 
Everyone – adults and children alike – has a creative streak but for too many of us it lies dormant even though it can be awakened with the simplest of acts. To find or regain your creativity, the author suggests following simple steps.

A couple of thoughts....

What if
In a kindergarten classroom, a teacher was asked if you could sit on a toilet and when you flushed the handle it sent you to Egypt
 
It is tempting to think that the proper response to such an idea is: "Well, now, Johnny, that’s a silly idea, isn’t it?"
 
Instead, say to the kiddo: “Go on…”
 
 
Be Imperfect - Perfectionism is creativity’s biggest foe.
Your own impulse is perfect because It’s perfectly you.You can’t improve on something if you don’t let it exist in an imperfect form.
