Who can be creative?
Creativity is not just for artists, musicians, writers, and designers. We are all creative, but the people who are
known for it have spent time cultivating it, failing at it, and working at it

Loving what you do gives you courage to survive the creative process…

How-to Cultivate your Creativity
THE 7 DARES! ARE YOU READY?
#1Dare to Embrace Failure, but fail wiselyAllow yourself to embrace the process of experimentation. This doesn’t mean that being wrong equals to being creative. But if you are not prepared to be wrong you will never come up with anything original
Remember that the biggest inventions in history happened by accident.
#2Dare to take action
If you only do what you can do you will never be better that you are
If you have ideas, but don’t act on them, you are imaginative but not creative
#3Dare to stay curious
The ability to challenge basic assumptions, empowers divergent and critical thinking.
The more critical thinker you become the better chances are to discover or create something novel!
#4 Dare to Be you
What are you really good at?
What are your values?
What are your weaknesses?
#5 Dare to Work on something you are truly passionate about
Boyan Slat, just 19 years old, designed The world’s first ocean cleaning system dedicated for cleaning plastic waste from the oceans.
Boyan is obsessed with diving and upset about all the waste that destroys our oceans
#6 Dare to Be persistent
You never know howClose you are… neverGive up on your dreams.
Stick to the process. Results do come over time not over night.
#4Dare to have life experiences
If Steve Jobs didn’t takeCalligraphy classes in his youth, today Apple’s designs might not have been provided it’s elegance.
“It was the first computer with beautiful typography,” Jobs said. “If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts.”
