Learning to Be Creative
For writer Maya Angelou, creativity has no end. She says, "The more you use it, the more you have." Julia Cameron's new book, The Listening Path, was written to help people be more creative. She says you should listen to yourself, other people, and things around you. People ask her what she does and she says, "I listen– and I 'hear' what I should be doing next."
Elizabeth Gilbert, who wrote Eat Pray Love, said that creativity will always produce fear. She accepts fear and makes use of it. She also said that we should let ourselves make mistakes. The late Ken Robinson, a famous teacher, agreed. He said that if you are not ready to make mistakes, you will never make anything original.
Where do new ideas come from? For many artists, a lot of it is hard work. Picasso said, "Inspiration exists, but has to find you working."
Walter Isaacson wrote a book about Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo was an artist and an engineer. But Isaacson said da Vinci's best quality was his curiosity. It's how he pushed himself to be great.Answer the Questions

1. Do you agree with Elizabeth Gilbert that creativity can produce fear?
-
disapear
-
Yes, I agree that creativity can produce fear because when people make new things, there are always things that could go wrong. For example, there are always risks in creating new things, so all we can do is try to think about what can go wrong and make changes to prevent those things from happening.

2. Do you think that silence can help with creativity?

distract

妨げる
-
focus
-
I am a person who easily get distracted.
-
Yes, I think that silence can help with creativity because it helps us focus on what we are doing. For example, without noise, we can think clearly and not get distracted.
-
3. Do you think that being creative is always easy? Why or why not?
-
No, I don't think that being creative is always easy because the environment I'm in is often not helpful for creativity. For example, it may be easier for me to be creative if I'm in a park or cafe, compared to sitting in an office or a busy restaurant.
