Many people believe that the goal of any
society is progress, however for most of us it
is not easy to get used to something new. It
takes more or less time for every person to
adapt to new environment, even if it is only
using a new tool, cooking a new dish or
finding a new bus stop. That is the reason why
many people cling to the way things are and it
is much easier for them to do habitual things.
Any person's every day of life consists of
many repeated activities, such as driving car,
dressing, eating. People do most of these
activities automatically, without much
thinking. Automatic operations help brains to
avoid unnecessary efforts, but many people
also use this natural capability of brain in a
wrong way.
They create "cliché" for many activities in
their life, use same expressions, eat same
food, and go to same supermarkets. People
live with same world outlook whole their life.
It is clear that in most cases laziness makes
them live with "cliché" because it is much
easier for people to make habitual things, say
habitual phrases and do the same job
everyday, then straining the brain, creating
something new, and making progress in their
life.
However, there are still many activities, which
demand creativity, ability to orientate us in
new, unusual situations. Life brings us
surprises every day, and sometimes it is
impossible to be prepared for all
circumstances. Economical and political
situation of any country in the world
transforms every month or year and leads to
changes in many life aspects. Today people
need to be creative to get ahead, because it is
impossible to find favorable work or life
conditions, without any changes and
unexpected circumstances.
There are not too many people, which think
and act creatively. Most of those people are
successful businessmen, artists or politicians,
because they can effectively use the natural
capability of brain to think creatively. Creative
and imaginative people do not achieve success
for themselves only; they also contribute to
progress of the society. That is why it is
important to train yourself to be creative and
get rid of many "cliché" opinions in your
mind.
First step to think creatively is to comprehend
which activities are indeed in need of
"cliché" (such every day simple operations as
driving car) and which activities demand
creativity (such as work, business, education,
upbringing of children).
Second, do your daily activities such as work
or family creatively, enrich your knowledge
about your business, and find new ways to
improve it, do not be afraid to give work to
your brain, because in daily life most people
use only 4-5% of their brain ability to think.
Last, but not least is to be aware that if you
are creative and imaginative person you
would not be disarmed by unexpected or
unusual life circumstances and changes
because you can always find a way to adjust
and get ahead in your life.
