Creativity Essay (question 3)

          One may think that being smart of having the most knowledge would lead him/ her to the best, successful future. However, in order to be truly successful and achieve great fame, one must be able to think outside the box and have inspirational ideas that have the potential to solve real life problems. Looking at all the great human achievers in the past, one can see that these ‘successful’ people- Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Rockefeller, etc- have gotten to that apex with a lot of creativity with original ideas. Therefore, in order to raise a community/ economy with great prosperity, there must be creative people who know how to effectively think outside the box. As a result, the creation of a creativity class is definitely useful and necessary for the sake of a better future.
          When one looks at the cliché great achievers, Bill Gates and Thomas Edison, one can agree that they were both very successful. However, it isn’t well know that Bill Gates dropped out of college to pursue his dreams and also the fact that Edison failed most of his science classes except for the subject he loved, science. Edison, as an imaginative thinker, examined the filament in a light bulb and reconstructed on that, which all other inventors overlooked and passed by.  His creativity led to a world changing invention where it is now one of the most used electronics. These two weren’t the brightest all around student but that isn’t what social needs. What this world does need is someone who is creative and has great ideas to further enhance the world.
          When one is ‘smart’ or ‘intelligent’, that implies that that person has a lot of knowledge about what they learned from teachers, lectures, textbooks, etc. It’s all from the past history of the world. Although it is great to know a lot of historical facts and dates, what the future of humanity needs is what really matters. One must acquire and connect different data from the past to make a better solution for the future. Simply knowing facts and blobs of information isn’t all that impressive for it is just a test of who can memorize the best. Therefore, inserting a class just for creativity is very beneficial for the society and many new things can emerge from it.

There could be rapid development in the world if there was a dedicated creativity class in every school. Think of all the people in the world who can have the chance to unleash their potential and show something that the world has never seen before! More students/ people would be aware of that and it is more than likely that something new would emerge. There is nothing to lose in the creation of a creativity class.
