About Creativity
Some say creativity is a defining human aptitude.
You may know it when you see it.
You may think you know whether you have it, or you don’t.
More and more, creativity is being recognized for its power as a competitive advantage, its connection to emotional nourishment, and its role as a fundamental thinking skill accessible to all.
What do you think about creativity?
Do you think much about creativity?
Is your idea of creativity based on myths and misconceptions?
A widely accepted definition of creativity is "novelty that's useful." For recreation, or usable knowledge, take a dive into thinking about creativity. Taking a fresh look at creativity is a creative act in itself.
