I am coming to some realisation on creation. Creativity is often linked with artsy path: painting, writing, sculpture, pottery, etc. Still, a few years ago, people would say that those paths isn't real career paths. It is starting to change even if there is much people who have the old mentality. A minority have the chance to live from those creative paths because they had many strings to their bow. Nothing is perfect but it is a start.
What I realize is simple. Creativity is not only for creating pretty objects. Creativity is helping solving problems. It is one thing that I learned while doing jewelry making projects. While doing some projects, I had to find solutions to finish them. It is only one example. It can be apply elsewhere. I have heard that plumbers had to be creative in small spaces, attempting to do their jobs. Not all pipes are easily accessible. I am sure there must be other example.
Creativity had helped our ancestors in creation of useful technologies, in various discoveries and everything that had improved our lives. I am sure there are examples that cover what I am saying. I just don't have any example under hand right now. Creativity is under estimated. It had helped us in so many way that we don't see it at first glance. Creativity should have it's own place and be seen as it should be.
