I have not failed, Ive just found 10,000 ways that wont work.

WHAT IT MEANS OF CREATIVITY

Creativity involves the power to create and bring about change. Creativity involves originality, imagination, inspiration, and inventiveness. Fortunately, creativity is not restricted to great artists, but it can be fostered by training, encouragement, and practice. Creativity is a biological process, and people can be trained to be open to environmental stimuli than can provide opportunities for imagination and ingenuity. Everyone has the power to be creative; while not everyone will paint a masterpiece or write a great novel, everyone can be curious, seek change and take risks.

WHY WE NEED CREATIVE THINKING

We need creative thinking because our knowledge is limited. We do not know what we do not know, and also how much we do not know. In some respects we are like the blind man who grabbed a tiger by his tail and declared: A tiger

is

a rope.

ALBERT EINSTEIN THINKS..

Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the whole world.

Reflection/Lesson learned/Significance of this lecture Creativity and innovation are inseparable. Creativity is an essential part of innovativeness. It is because all our innovations begin with our bright ideas. These ideas need not be complex, it could just be simple ideas that service the needs and wants of the consumers.

In the older years, creativity and innovation are not essential since a single innovation can stand up for a longer years.
But today, Entrepreneurship needs to be globally competitive in order to last and exist for more years to come. This module is significant especially to upcoming entrepreneurs. They will realize that everyone is a potential entrepreneur and to become successful in this venture, all we have to do is to make innovation and creativity in our products.
