The strongest creation makes future creators stronger.
CREATIVITY
WHAT THIS MEANS
Some work impresses and closes the subject. Other work opens it, showing people a method they can use, a possibility they had not considered, or a standard they now want to meet. The second kind keeps producing long after it is made, through people who may never cite it.
When you make something, show a little of how. The reasoning, the failed attempts, the approach. Finished surfaces are admired. Visible methods get taken up and carried further.
A QUESTION TO SIT WITH
Who has made something because of something you made?
MORE IN CREATIVITY & ORIGINALITY
- Broke months make you creative with pasta, gifts and weekends. That creativity sticks around when money shows up.
- Write the hard week down. Once it’s on paper, you’re the author instead of a character stuck inside it.
- The best business ideas often come from problems you had to live through. Your hard years might be market research.
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
