Creativity is about connecting things together, connecting things that are unrelated together. What stops us from being creative? I believe creativity is educated out of us. Also the social environment often restricts our creativity. All over the world, people become afraid to give their opinions, afraid to express themselves, and that’s the opposite of creative behavior. You have to use it with imagination to be of value.
