Creativity? Working with attention, passion and diligence

NEW is the operative word for sure. Many are enamored by the idea of a special gift. I think the challenge is in not even accepting that “gift” but moving on to make create new gifts if you will. I get upset when people say I am gifted in one thing or the another. It all comes from working with attention, passion and diligence. If the implication is that one is born that way, it must have been acquired the same hard way from the past.

The power of human brain is truly unlimited. For the time we exist, it is really unlimited. That is we know that we can learn till we die and there is still unlimited capacity left.

All assumptions must be questioned. This will make “religious” people a bit unhappy, I know. Creative work inside a temple, mosque or church is always within constraints. I often wonder  about societies that are under the tight constraints of extreme religious ideologies. Ironically many of them are not on the forefront of technology .. except perhaps war !

OLD or ANCIENT seems to be their operative words for them.

Something to think about.
