Creativity and Metamorphosis

Creativity• I define creativity as the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality.

Creativity involves two processes: thinking, then producing. any great ideas come to us in the shower, or at a time when we are away from our work. Many a genius has been known to have their greatest ideas while on vacation.

Most of the time when you are relaxing ideas just pops up on your mind

Making an idea that you have created into reality

Creating something new and unique

•Developing your capacity for creativity is one of the most rewarding forms of professional growth. Master the art of innovative thinking, and you can secure your future (and of course, the future of your company).

•Thinking outside of the box is essential for every modern professional, whether you build cars, computers, or brand reputations. Without creativity, there would be no innovation, no social change, no entrepreneurial spirit driving our economy.

Metamorphosis• Where do we come from? Where are we going? If this earthly form that

we have come to embody is just that, no more then a body, then where did the soul that exists within it arrive from...

• The word metamorphosis (transformation) It is a biological process by which an animal physically develops after birth or hatching, involving a conspicuous and relatively abrupt change in the animal's body structure through cell growth and differentiation."
