The Art of Creativity | (Uncovering the secret of being an exceptional creative)

I remember taking some of my students Biology, and we were considering characteristics of different kingdoms of living organisms and different classes (phyla) of the animal kingdom. And at some point, one of my students asked me … “ How were scientists able to find all of these organisms and even identify their characteristics, most especially those seemingly invisible micro-organisms?” I had to keep him notified and reminded that these scientists aren’t gods in a movie created by Marvey Studios, they are humans just like you and I. They are humans who maximised the use of the human mind.  Have you ever been blown away by a great music, a ‘crazy’ fashion, classic movie, or a wonderful piece of art? One thing that remains mutual to all of these is the height of creativity embedded in the work.

Not regarding the waves tossing it to and fro The ancient liquid older than blood in human veins Solitude at the river side Is like an escape with Elon Musk's to Mars Really and really, it looks like been in another planet. There I was as I allowed my mind to travel over shores Through its beauty, its experience and its natural elegance Escaping the borders of Africa Escaping boundaries of Reality No need to be careful, not need to be cautious Right here, I can jump down a skyscraper And not to bother if I break a limb As I stood daydreaming and beholding The wonder and the awe that Nature brings I felt an itch beneath my left wrist In a bid to get the root of that I realized I had just few moments left How do I find my way back home? The route I came was free of hurdles But the distance of it is the ground to the clouds The beauty of it is as g...
