Creativity Holds Success

 There is a famous quote by Albert Einstein. ”Creativity is seeing what others see and thinking what no one else ever thought”. In a nutshell, this quote defines creativity and explains how it can be achieved.


To put it simply, we may wash out clay on the floor when we see it. The moment we start making something creatively out of the clay, an artist is born. Creativity is different for different people, but everyone  has one for sure. It can be expressed in any fields like drawing, craftwork, dancing, singing or something that we don’t even think about. In Fact that itself is creativity. The way we are creative makes us stand out in society. If you still continue to follow others path without being creative then I guess you are wasting your inborn talent of creativity. 


I guess a small story can make this quote more clear. But before coming into it, let me ask you something. How many of you know how to solve a Rubik's cube? I know many of you might be. I used to solve it and many of my friends and cousins did as well. In fact, one of my friends is quite famous for solving Rubik's cubes much faster than anyone else. He has won several prizes and can solve the cube in seconds.


The story I wanted to tell is about Giovanni Contardi. We might have seen his videos on Youtube and many other social media platforms. He learned to solve a Rubik's cube in 2009 at the age of 15. By 2011 he won second prize in world Rubik's cube championship. He just took less than 10 seconds to solve it. He has won more than 60 national records in solving the Rubik's cube.  You might be thinking why I am telling this story. What is special about him in solving a cube under 10 seconds even many of us can do it. Well he can do something else also. Giovanni is a Rubik's cube artist. Rubik's cube artist ? What is that? He connected hundreds of Rubik's cube until it became an art. Each portrait of Giovanni cost 1000s of dollars and many celebrities wanted to get their portraits done by Giovanni. That is it. He saw what others also saw but he thought in a way that no one else thought. That made him so special and famous. And that was the same quote by Albert Einstein. 


So be creative. Start thinking differently. Never get worried about what others think in the beginning. All that matters is what you made at the end. There will be a lot to discourage you. But never mind. You have the power and make use of it. All the best and keep moving. Don’t forget to keep your beautiful smile on your beautiful face. Have a beautiful, creative day.

Turning Pain into Power !

  The word friendship seems to be too simple but it is having incredible powers than you think. It can give you joy, lots of memories that always hold over hearts and in the same way it teaches you really tough lessons of betrayal and mistreatment. Like many others reading this, I too had experienced both good and bad friendships, this really changed me but ultimately made me stronger only. I believe that we should experience the bad friendships first and then enjoy the really good life waiting for us. Bad friendships are sometimes a blessing in disguise. It will teach us resilience and make us powerful to withstand anything. But not everyone will be so lucky to overcome the emotional scars that happen through bullying or ragging. The tragic story of Ammu, a young nursing student from Kerala is a heartbreaking reminder of this. She ended her life leaving two words behind “I quit”. Ammu’s life was full of promises and I believe she had a beautiful life filled with happiness and wond...

Unstoppable power of challenges.

 W hile walking through the busy streets, I came to notice a poignant scene. A young woman in her 30’s sitting on the footpath and crafting rose bouquets. Beside her a tiny boy - mostly her son, who took the role of a tiny salesman. The boy approached the people walking by requesting them to buy the flowers. The little innocent face caught their attention, so most of them bought flowers. I joined them as well. This might seem like an ordinary scene in a busy city. But taking a moment and thinking of the scene will help us understand many things. In that moment I realized that the boy was not just selling flowers but in fact he was actually cultivating hard work and resilience in him. I am sure that he can face anything in life since he was trained to overcome challenges in this very young age. While many of us have grown in our comfort zone, it will be very difficult when life throws us into a big pit. The more we face problems in our younger age the more we will be able to face ...

Stop Comparing : Start Succeeding !

  Hellooo Everyone! Today, I want to take you back to your school days. Were you a front bencher or back bencher? You know society often considers the front benchers as the toppers and the backbenchers as the losers. Well I believe in what our former president, Abdul Kalam said, “The best brains of the nation may be found on the last benches of the classroom”. From the experiences and stories that I have heard, I came to know that the front benchers may know how to top the class but the back  benchers often have a  deeper understanding of how to be the real topper of life. And then there is that middle group, like me 😉,  the ones that don’t fit in either category. We often find ourselves stuck in the middle trying to succeed both in life and class, chasing for the ideas to be a topper. I guess I am deviating away from the main point I wanted to share with you. Let’s get back to those old school memories. Life was so simple back then, wasn’t it? The only worries were...
