Today at school during English class we watched a show about the connection between creativity and school as a preparation for our listening comprehension test next week. Some parts were funny, but above all, I think it was inspiring. He had some quotes which I think were very interesting to think about. He gives examples which will explain his point. He was trying to say that creativity isn't a gift, everyone's gifted with creativity.
''The thing about creativity is that you're prepared to take chances, you shouldn't be frightened of being wrong. Not that being creative is the same as being wrong but we do know that if you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original. Now, the thing is, nowadays education teaches us that we can't make mistakes, cause mistakes are the worst thing we can make. The result is that we are educating people out of their creative capacities.''
I must admit, I think he's right. People are afraid of being wrong or being different; to stand out. We shouldn't be afraid to be judged. Why is this? If someone has different ideas than you have, it doesn't mean his ideas are wrong. Please don't let anything stand in your way during life. Do what you like, say what you think; Always speak your mind. Don't be afraid of being wrong, take chances, be original and, above all, be yourself.
