Sir Ken Robinson's Speech on TEDTalks

Sir Ken Robinson's speech actually leave a very deep impression on me, it made me wonder if what he's talking about was actually true or not? but the talk was still spectacular and humorous as well. 

He notice's that education system nowadays have their goods and bad about them, not just in one country but all over the world. He was mainly talking about people mistaken the differences between intelligence and creativity, which i think there's no differences between them and they're actually need each other to be exact.

There are a few things that i come to agree on after the speech though.

 If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original. - Sir Ken Robinson

He said that people now stigmatize their mistakes, i agree on that because i was among the people who do stigmatize their mistakes but that's another topic...so going on....we know that creativity requires facing the risk and challenges but there are many of us who aren't willing to take it or likewise not even try to fight for it.

Why are we so scared with our mistakes?

I thought that being creative is when you want to express your true self and be different than other people, but why do we held back those desire? Just because some people judge you and they also can bring you down but that doesn't mean we need to give right away. If it continues like this then it will result to a great loss of people with talent but wasn't recognized , with dreams but weren't reachable, with hopes and potential but were crushed by others. This would only lead on to an individuals who are practically low-self esteem and very depressed, if this keeps going on.

                                                        Intelligence is diverse

Sir Ken Robinson said that intelligence is diverse. I mean of course it is!! Just try to think if people keep on receiving information and keep on writing notes like totally normal or add a little bit of highlights it will surely be boring because sometimes people don't even understand what they're writing down because it's to boring and dull. That's why there are people who are very creative whenever they'e receive information, they'll be like doodling with little bubble speech which keeps it interesting and many more.

But so far the society has been pushing the people to only learn a single way of learning which they think will help the children to cope with it and forcing them to learn our way.

 Mistakes are also like human nature, you're born with it and as soon as you notice it you'll be doing mistakes as you grew. Making mistakes is a part of us, we can't run from it nor wish it way, all we have to do is face it and improve, take it as lesson in life that you will better in it. We will grow more wiser and learn more as we make mistakes.

Five Words for Not Creativity ( 2nd Part)

So the last post was the first part, now on to the second part.
Like last time i have listed five words that i think means creativity, but what about the opposite of that word?
Let's list five words for creativity in the opposite way.

1. Safe

Personally, i think creativity needs us to think out of the box, be different, and go all out with your ideas! So that means we cannot play safe all the time, that will just show us that were lacking of confidence on our  own creativeness. What is the reason that you held back that creativity? Low self-esteem? Confidence? well what ever the reason is and if we keep playing safe, we won't be achieving the creativity were aiming.

   2. Same

Sometimes when you see things that is absolutely the same everyday, won't you get bored with it? i mean it's like a cycle of your daily life, it will always be the same but if you take the initiative to change it, then it will be different.
Furthermore, if you keep seeing the same creation..but it changes a bit, maybe the wording...and seriously you will feel nothing and sometimes you just might look away or don't even bother with it. So, stop with the same creation and think out of the box!

                                                                STOP IT....


  3. Lame

Where have the creativity gone? i mean like back way before 2013...i mean people back then was very creative, for an example...we can always take the late Tan Sri Datuk Amar Dr. P. Ramlee

He is one of the good actors of all times and my favorite. He's acting cannot be compared with the actors and actress that is in our generation...to put it in simple words, he is awesome! He's creativity got his title as a Tan Sri and plus a Malaysian film actor, producer,singer,songwriter, director and a composer.

Not to say things badly about my race but now the Malay standard of movies, series, comedy and many more....just doesn't make any sense. I mean their comedy sometimes is just so offensive and kinda bad. Some of the movies are like stiff most of the times...like they're just acting according to the script....by script i mean like puppets that needs to be controlled by a puppeteer.  

What happen to our generation of creativity? back then it was so good but now...it's LAME.

4. Scared

Ok..now we can't always be scared to doing things we love because we loved and like what were doing, right? So basically what's there stopping yourself from doing it? If we keep getting scared,then when are we supposed to burst out the creativity that we keep inside. This is just another hurdle that we have to get through it.

5. Rejection

Ahh that word always sting inside me...,but rejection is a part of growing up with our daily life even if it means it has something to do with creativity. I mean like some people when they got rejected, they will completely give up their hopes or just stop doing their work. We can't just stop after we've been rejected i mean is one step to our success fullness, so don't just stop what you're doing. Improve and keep improving yourself till you get better is the only way. At least when you know you're mistake you will try to improve it.

Five Words in Creativity ( 1st Part)

When we were supposed to associates our self with the word "Creative", the words that pops out into my mind were.....

1. Emotions

It was not that unusual for me to think of that word, even though it accidentally appears in my mind but oh well.

I actually believe that creativity is one way of expressing your hidden emotions or the ones you have no idea how to express with. I mean look at all the people surrounding us don't they sometimes express their creativeness through the feelings that are inside of them. For example when they are happy there will be new creation that are filled with joy but if you're feeling angry.....that will lead to a creation filled with frustration or pain.

see their emotions changes every time

Just like in our Visual Research Communication 2 class, we were taught that every piece of creativity you'll be doing should be added with your own emotion or mood because sometimes creativity reflects the real emotion that is within us all.

2. Ideas

Just like in every classes i have learn so far, creativity is also making up your own original ideas. Well is no fun to copyright other people's hard work and just make it yours! that's called PLAGIARISM!! we should always start our ideas from scratch so that it shows our effort in it.
Ideas are the starting roots for us to begin our creation. Without them then where will we be? What's the use of our brains if we don't think of anything?
Ideas can come in big or even small sizes but that's not the point. What matter's the most is the thinker itself whether if he or she has the guts to make their ideas into a reality.

                    one step at a time to prove that your idea is not just an illusion


3. Simple

Personally, I think creativity should be kept simple. Although there are people who might not think the same way because they think is best to do creativity in a complicated idea. Well we cannot blame the others because different people have their own point of view, so basically there is no right nor wrong in this matter.
Sometimes is best to keep it simple, not all ideas of creativity needs to be so dramatic or tragic.

                                          Keep it simple is the best sometimes


4. Freedom

I think creativity also stands out for freedom because we are free to pour our ideas that we have been holding back all this time into reality not just any illusion anymore but into a real thing. Sometimes we need to create new lovely art or designs  without any rules and regulations. Just like we need our times to pamper ourselves with things we like in life right? we cannot always follow the rules then that means our life will have no meaning, so we need to rebel against the rules sometimes to make it interesting.

                        Free to think on your way of liking, don't just follow the rules!

5. Relax

Creativity also means relax or have it your way of doing. Sometimes we don't need to do something with any purpose or meaning, it's just pops out in your mind out of nowhere. The idea sometimes comes popping in your mind when you are in a very relaxed mode.

               Relax is always the best solution to get inspired with a new randomly ideas.
