“You cannot use up creativity. The more you use the more you have.”
Maya Angelou
In my opinion creativity is the ability to bring into existence something new or to use things in a new manner. To do so people need to have imaginative skills. To be creative people need to imagine familiar things in a new light, digging below the surface to find previously unknown patterns. That is not an easy task. I think that creativity is something everybody possesses, but most of us do not know how or are not able to use it.
Browsing the internet I found a webpage which I found very interesting. There people post their creative answers to every life problems. On the page you can find 99 extraordinary, creative and unusual uses of ordinary and everyday objects, you thought had only one purpose.
Here is the one I found interesting and funny, because I’m also unable to chopstick:
“Having trouble learning how to chopstick? Think of this approach as cheap-and-easy training wheels while you learn the ropes. Inexpensive plastic clothes pins can be disassembled without tools or much effort and their spring can be reused with any generic chopsticks.”
It is not the most creative thing in the world, but it is a good example for the creative use of a product in an unusual manner. If you want to see more, visit the homepage: http://lifehackery.com/2008/01/23/99-extraordinary-uses-for-ordinary-objects/
