For this week class, the lecturer, Mr. Yap Sau Bin, give an interesting lecture about defining creativity. From his lecture, I have jot down some notes for my future references and for this blog contents. So, these are my notes that I have taken from the class and I gladly to share it :

Defining Creativity :

• general of new ideas or new ways of doing something
• ability to think up and design new inventions
• ability to see something in a new way
• is an attitude :- ability to accept change and newness

Maybe I did not get all the definition of creativity, but the four definition that I manage to jot down from the class are already enough for me to understand about the term creativity. Hopefully I can practic the ways as mention at the definition above for me to be more creative.

As the part of the lecture, I have jot down some notes that I am not pretty sure whether I understand about it or not but I will try my best to understand it by searching it on Google.

The lecture is about...

"Why people are motivated to be creative :-

• need for novel, varied and complex stimulation
• need to communicate ideas and values
• need to solve problems "

I was attracted with one quote from the video that my lecturer show it to the class. The quote is sound like this...

"if you not prepare to be wrong,

you can't be creative"

From the quote, I feel that is not bad to be wrong. Wrong is a mistake that we make. For me, mistake is the best teacher in life. So, make mistake, be wrong, if you want to be creative.

Thank you! :D
