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.
Good 👍
