Creativity is one of the propelling powers we possess. The more we have it the more we learn and the more we learn the more productive we become. We are speaking of creative curiosity which might be defined as the art of pursuit for practical purposes. Creative curiosity always adds something to our personalities, to our peace of mind or even to our bank accounts. Of all the faculties of the human mind, curiosity is that which is either the most fruitful or the most barren in effective results according to whether it is well directed or poorly directed. It is what it is because of how we make it, the choice is ours because it may either rhyme the stereotype ‘curiosity killed the cat’ or otherwise depending on how we treat it.On the same, mere wonderment is not the same thing as intense interest. When a person half-heartedly wonders about something, he lacks that self drive that urges him to personally search beneath the surface of things. He lacks the dedication, confidence and patience towards his interest. It then follows that, when wondering about something, curiosity should come strong with no doubts or looking back for it to suffice. The curious word ‘why’ will always stimulate new ideas, so keep it active in your mind. For instance, ask why your competitor is getting more profit out of his business or why your neighbor is getting more fun out of life. This is a reason we must discover by ourselves; we don’t need to go asking people about it rather it is us who should take personal studies and research in order to learn from our wonders. Every time you ask why, stick with it until you know why. Do this one thing at a time and all by itself creative curiosity will change everything in your life. As a matter of fact, you will with no time have learned a lot of useful and solid info to help you in some way.Always approach a challenging problem or program as if you had no ideas at all towards it. This will free you from old fashioned out of date thinking patterns. Whenever you are trying to create something original, be suspicious of ideas that come too quickly or that seem familiar. Feed your ideas with defense mechanism against challenges and problems. Experiment with each new idea until you can form some kind of definite conclusion about it; curious experimentation proves profitable. Creative curiosity releases a full flow of fresh ideas when we start from mental scratch. It goes all by itself i.e. creative; meaning it is creative in deed; then due to this creative wonderment you come to learn much more every time thus becoming productive ultimately.
