A person full of creativity is able to look at things in new, unorthodox ways and come up

with solutions no one previously thought of. Creativity is what drives innovation and progress in

today’s era where everything is modernized. Now, the word creativity is not only limited to artists,

designers, and writers. Creative skills are indispensable for everyone even those for people with

disabilities. Each one of us has our own way of seeing things and creating them.

According to Franken (1993), the ability to develop or recognize ideas, alternatives, or

possibilities that may be useful in solving issues, interacting with others, or entertaining ourselves

and others is referred to as creativity. In addition, Khol (2015) also stated that creativity focuses

on the process of forming original ideas through exploration and discovery. Usually, creativity

starts when we are still a child which we slowly develop through our experiences with the process

rather than the finished product.

Creativity is an important skill in our everyday lives wherever we go or whatever we do

as it can be very useful in developing new ideas which can help increase the chance of generating

solutions to problems. Some activities like going to a concert, visiting museums or theaters can

help one to be more creative because it can give a new perspective. It is not only limited to music,

art, or dance, we use creativity in our everyday lives to better deal with uncertainty and make life

fulfilling and interesting. Examples of creativity includes making connections, asking questions,

making observations, networking, and experimenting. While some have been gifted with creativity

skills since birth, it is still a skill that everyone can learn and develop throughout time and

experiences in life. One need not be intelligent to be creative. Everyone can be creative since one

can develop these skills through their experiences.

Creativity enables us to see and solve challenges more openly and innovatively. The mind

is opened by creativity. It broadens our horizons and can assist us in overcoming prejudices. It can
help you express your feelings and emotions may it be through music, art, theater, dance, etc. It

can help draw a better understanding of the world around you, and connect those observations to

your existing knowledge and create new applications of this knowledge into the world. It can also

develop confidence because engaging in a creative process will make one realize that failure is a

part of success and once we see that failure is survivable and a great motivator, you’ll get all the

confidence you need to share your art.

Creativity is the foundation of human personality. It can be cultivated, developed, and

improved. It is about discovering new and different thoughts or ideas. Creativity is the ability to

see or express new relationships. Creativity can be found in all aspects of life, including thinking,

working, playing, and social interaction. Creativity has evolved into a fundamental life skill that

we employ in our daily lives. It can be extremely beneficial in a professional setting to obtain a

job or a promotion. Furthermore, success and satisfaction can be replicated in other areas of life.

As a result, one should participate in this enjoyable process of developing creative thinking skills.
