Curosity and creativity – some analogies March 7, 2009

I’ve always thought that curositiy and creativity are linked.

And I also think that truly intelligent people are generally creative. But not all creative people are intelligent. One may be able to arrange different combinations into different novel designs but may not be cut to do academic or intellectul rigour activities in the conventional sense; or may not be able to handle life situations well.

To me, intelligence means a whole lot more than handling just design problems on the paper or by craft. It really means how one is able to handle a good multitude of problems and be able to nose  into the right path and fish out the solution even without the help of a teacher or a book.

Curiosity and keen observation skills cannot be taught. In which I always beieve that schools are only there to deliver the skills and open the way for advanced technologies in the industry. In that sense, schools serve that purpose well. And it is always good to continue studies. But it must be totally receptive and able to handle differences well too. Which is not an always easy and diplomatic thing to do at all in today’s educational establishments. But at the base point,  schools and other educational establishments should foster ethics seriously.  For a future depends on graduates, and the quality of the future depends solely on how positive thinking  of the ethically correct graduates are. Failing of being just and bright, wise and creative, we will not have a future that is glowing in the right way that we all need right now.

Time for me going back to play around online for a while before going to my bee hive (bed). Everyone in the family has gone to snooze except me fiddling on my PC. I am way too curious to sleep before I know what I am looking at. Which is really a problem of a lot of things in my life so far…… Problem Me, Karen Fu……..
