Creativity
Every
human being in the world is unique. Every man and woman has different lives,
ideals, and thoughts. Every person has created something at some point in their
life. The creation of life is something most people are a part of at some point
in their lives. However, the line between creation and creativity is vast.
In
my youth I was greatly intrigued by model airplanes and model cars. I built
over one hundred models and still have them all set up in my room back home. I
created these models from the parts that came in the box when I bought it. I
already knew what the finished product would look like. The creativity aspect
was taken out of the equation on my part. Some other person had designed these
models and sold them on the shelves. I simply put them together and built what
some other person had created. This summer I built a computer. A computer is
different than the models, and did require a bit of creativity. I personally
picked the parts I wanted for it, and created a machine that no other human in the
world possesses a carbon copy of. I believe that when I created my computer I
was required to use some creativity. However, there were basic guidelines I had
to follow. The first thing was the company I wanted to use. The two companies
are AMD and Intel. After choosing an AMD motherboard, I knew my choices for
CPU, Graphics Card, RAM, Power Supply, Fans, and the case were all limited to
products compatible with AMD motherboards. The only amount of creativity I had
was actually envisioning the machine I wanted to create and buying those parts.
The actual creation of the computer was similar to the creation of my model
airplane and cars that I constructed so many times in my child hood. All the
pieces just fit together like they were meant to. Some other person had made
the basic guidelines that I followed for building my machine.
Creativity
is unique in the fact that everyone is creative in their own way each and every
day. Whether it be the motion of the toothbrush you use every morning and night
while brushing your teeth, or creating a new engine for a super car that the
world has yet to see. Creativity doesn’t need to be an elaborate compendium of
blue prints for a device that will change the world. Creativity doesn’t need to
be a great mural painted on the side of a downtown orphanage showing the unity
of man in a time of peace. Creativity is simply the creation of something new,
a new idea, a song, a novel, a machine, or simply a new way to go to your place
of employment to work your usual five to nine job in the morning. Creativity is
the tool of a creator, and is a very powerful one at that.
