What do you think of when you think of someone who’s creative? You probably pictured a painter, musician, or something else in the artistic realm. You probably didn’t think of someone searching for the cure for cancer or writing software to beat the stock market. Yet both of those are highly creative tasks.
Definition of create:
- To cause to come into being, as something unique that would not ordinarily evolve or that is not made by ordinary processes
- To evolve from one’s own thought or imagination, as a work of art or an invention.
It’s true that when many people think of creative work, they think of artistic professions – painters, sculptors, musical composers, and the like. Basically if you have to buy a ticket to see it, it’s a creative endeavor.
But is that really the case?
In the U.S., discussing politics is a national past time. Unfortunately, it’s getting more difficult to have any sort of discussion with someone who disagrees with you without the whole thing blowing up. This is especially true of debates over Facebook, Twitter, blog comments, etc.
