" Not Creative "


Okay then now let's continue to the next topic which will be the opposite of what we discussed earlier!
What word do you think, does not at all related to creative?
Let me take a guess again!!!!!

is it........

Dull?

Common?

Boring?

Same?

and.....

Trend?????

Is it correct????

What no? You have different words than these?
Oh well, doesn't matter, almost similar for sure eh? So now I'm going to describe about these words to you!

First of all, DULL.
Why does DULL doesn't give us the feeling of creativeness?
It's all because something that is dull, is not attractive, and also can be consider as something old. Take an old cloth as example. If you just bought a cloth, of course the colour would be striking! and rich! I should say. But what happen to it years later? What happen to it after it being washed so many times? The colour would go off of course! and yes! become DULL! back to our main word! and what does the dullness of the colour tell us? It's OLD! it's not attractive and makes us feel like we don't want to use it any more! if something that is creative, it would be something NEW. some NEW idea. Something that we would want to use!


Now you clearly see the difference right?????

okay move on~ enough of 'dull' or else it will make my brain go DULL!

Second word, Common

What does common means? it's an opposite word for RARE. Common things are normal things. An extremely normal thing that you can find just EVERYWHERE! To make you understand what I really mean, let me give you a situation. Lets say I wanted to be mean and add chilli into your soup! and I wanted to take your attention away so I said " hey look there! a pegasus flying! "

seriously would you believe that? that is soooooooooooooooooo common isn't it? "hey look there something's there~ " people around the WORLD use it. People seldom believe it anymore now. If it's 50 years ago, then maybe yea people would believe since it's rare for them for someone to say this. But now everywhere you go, if someone wants to pull on a trick to other they would always use it.

Omg these insect is so common that you just kill it without a second thought :O

lol (sorry ants) 

next~

What boring? yea boringgggg is the word! oh what? oh you are actually saying this is boring huh? okay then nevermind.............. you can stop reading now * sob sob * no, please don't goooooo, continue reading come on!!!!!! I'll explain to you about the word boring and you shall not be bored anymore! :D

so yea, I'll start now before you fell asleep! Boring is obviously not related to creative because when a thing is boring you don't feel like using it or playing with it or doing it or whatever with it. So it is obviously not creative because the creator of that boring thing is not creative enough to make it fun for you! So that's why BORING will never be related to creative! For an example!
Talking about my experience, when I was watching a comedy show, the jokes are always boring and not funny at all. Why? because they have no idea of how to make a funny and enjoyable jokes! they have run out of their creativity to make one! hence, all the jokes are lame and boring. It's not even worth to waste your time watching it. And what did they do to make you feel like as if it's funny? put a laughter voices! but all comedy does that, so what do you feel when you watch it. That's right. BORRRRINNNGGGGG~~~~~~~~


this are what you see when you heard a boring joke!

So feel refresh a bit now?

Move on again to the second last one!

SAME.

Aren't same thing makes you feel like " oh........that again " or " hm....... " or  " another one huh... "
or sometimes, it even makes you don't feel anything! Sometimes you would just look at it and turn away! Try to imagine if you go out and see people wearing t-shirt with this at the middle
 

you would just look at it, and maybe read the last word and turn away the other second! because it's basically the same thing! Only the word change! It's the same design. People around the world use this design now, don't they have any other idea on a shirt design? yea it was popular few years ago, but now? nahhhh, not as popular anymore, because everyone use it. And it feels as if everyone actually wear the same shirt! and it's like, there's nothing exciting to see anymore since it's all just like that isn't it? The person who created this design is creative, but the other people who keep using the same design for many things over and over again eventhough many people are using it too are obviously not creative!


Last one! after reading this you may go watch some video in youtube yeah right?

Trend.

During every era there's always a new trend. But the new trend would last long before the other trend comes up. And during those period of time, people would keep using that trend, until some random creative minded person created the new trend. Why cant people keep creating new things?
So that TREND wouldn't exist! it would be great if everyone have their own thing. Following trend is actually copying people's idea! and many people does that, so this trend thing, would actually stay " WOAH " for just a short period of time. After that, people would get so used to it and not feel hyped up about it anymore. That's why trend, is not a creative thing! Take an iphone and an android as an example. Nowadays almost everyone use it. It's the trend now that people use these phone! Wherever you go, At least 7 out of 10 of them use this phone. Last time, when you see people using iphone or an android, you would go " woah woah!!!! let me see let me see~~~~~~~ can I play with it? can I try using it? blah blah blah blah? " rightttttt? but now, if you see someone change their phone to one of these phone, all you would go is " oh, you changed your phone.... "
so yea, get what I mean????

CREATIVE

Creative huh?
A very simple yet complicated word to explain.
What pops up in  our mind when we hear it?
YOU! yes you, what do you think of when you read the title?
May i take a guess?
is it......

Unique?
Different?
Bizarre?
Colourful?
or........
Amazing?

If yes then that's good!
because these words are what i'm going to talk about!

Why is creative unique?
What is unique?
Unique is something that is rare, something that is only one. Something that when you see, you feel like " wow, what on earth is that? but nevermind! it looks good!"
something like that! or sort of like that.
So that's why it define creative the best. Creative IS unique. Since it's new. It's something that amazed people. In a good way of course! and also, it's something that perhaps only 1 out of 1000000000 people would think of! Take a look of this! an example of what unique is!




Next! 
Different!
Everybody loves something different! But as things it is now, a lot of things has been invented. Sometimes even when there's an advertisement saying " NEW " , it's not actually new, it's just the same thing, but with DIFFERENT kind of display/appearance/looks/the way of it functioning. That's why people love it! How do we make old things become attractive? Make it different! yes! when it's basically just the same thing. Humans just love to be different than other people. Seriously, you can't fool me, most of the population actually like being weird. They like being different than being normal and common, there are billions or trillions of people in this world, and being different than others are definitely a hard thing to do, so that's why, when you are actually DIFFERENT, you are consider CREATIVE. To actually being able to think of a way of being different is absolutely creative!





Let's move on to..... BIZARRE!
such a weird word to be pronounce if you ask me.
it's WEIRD and its suits it's meaning, that's why its CREATIVE no?
Something extraordinary! Something incredibly weird! Something that seems like it was from an outer space! IT's BIZARRE! perhaps something that you could never have imagine or think of! something you could only see for only that time! Something that may not logical but it exist! how could such thing be created?
with creativity that's it! Surely if you encounter such thing, you will be thinking, " how creative!".






so what's next?
let's scroll up and check!
COLOURFUL
Why does this word describe creativity?
it's because COLOURS attract people!
just imagine if you look at something dull, something that has the same colour, same tone, for an example, something plain white. Imagine yourself walking pass trough a hall way, and something plain white is on the right side, and something full with colours. Which side will you look at? which will attract your attention more? or should i say, which one, will you be interested in? the colourful one of course! i bet majority of people would think that too! However, it's not that when an object has a colour, it's creative. NO. If its like that, then everyone can create creative things no? Showing creativity by colours is when you combine colours, so many colours, and make it look good! like RAINBOWS!!!!! Try to think of the colour blue and orange, does it suits to be with each other? yes? no? the answer is, YES AND NO, it actually depends. It depends on YOU, how will you present it?! if the way you combine and put them together is wrong and bad, then it won't look nice at all! it may even irritates people who see it! But when you put it together in an incredibly GOOD way, then people will like it of course!
But then surely people would be thinking. Why? How come? it's still blue and orange but how could they look nice? that's why it is called CREATIVITY! how will you put the colours together to make it look amazing? Creativity is the answer!



Last but not least!
AMAZING!
What is your feeling when you see something so incredible? you would be AMAZED indeed.
it's just, amazing. Creativity creates amazing things. Attracting things! its not normal and common.
Its rare and perhaps legendary. Its amazed you and its almost like, you are being indulge in it. You are eager to have it, to be there, or to try it. Because you've never have it before, never feel it before. You are amazed. Humans are complicated. Humans are also selfish and picky. There are trillions of things exist in this world, but just how many things could amazed humans? out of trillions, maybe just million of it. It's very hard to amazed people. So when you actually create something AMAZING. That is CREATIVE.


Why did Titanic hit the iceberg?

Oh gosh i should've post about this topic long time ago!
Why did Titanic hit the iceberg? this is a topic that I was suppose to post at the end of October! but then why now? why is it that only now I'm going to post about this topic? Easy! it's because of my laziness, and I am terribly apologize about that. I know it's really not a good thing.

Well, anyway, let's not waste time and get started!

As we all know, Titanic hit the iceberg and sank and lot's of people died and so on.
But the main question here is, why? why did Titanic hit the iceberg?
Isn't Titanic a great ship? Why does it sank by only hitting the iceberg?
And in the first place, how could it hit the iceberg? wasn't there anyone controlling the ship?
What was the captain doing? Very careless isn't he?

So here is what I think.

The men who was suppose to watch over the situation, which is the "watcher" that was standing on top, was not doing their job properly. All of them were having a party that night, people from the lower class to the higher class. So, I bet even the watcher was caught up with the "party mood" and wasn't really paying much attention to what they are suppose to do. Perhaps hard drinks are even given to them for them to enjoy too.
So my assumption is. They consume some alcoholic drink and was feeling tipsy and can't focus well. So, even though maybe the iceberg was already visible despite the foggy environment, it took some times for them to notice it since they were feeling tipsy, and when they notice it, the distance between the ship and the iceberg is already quite near. Of course they would inform the captain after that, but did they do it fast enough? i don't think so. And even if they did, I bet the captain will have this mindset of " oh, this great ship of mine won't be in any harm even if it were to hit the iceberg a bit!". With this kind of thinking, perhaps the captain too wasn't taking an action fast enough to avoid the iceberg. Taking his sweet time maybe? or taking the situation lightly and didn't put much effort in trying to avoid it.
And so what's the result of all that?
What happen then?
BAM!
Yes, the Titanic sank because of the iceberg!
