create

being a creative person is really not very difficult. sometimes when people tell me i'm creative, i have this amazing urge to let the cat out of the bag by giving away the whole secret so that everyone else can be. I'll do it right now. i'm not really creative as in creative creative, i randomly pick combinations of elements floating in my head, spontaneously and lay them out visually. it's such a rediculously simple exercise, it's like saying fish love bathing. try it. it's simpler than you think. grab a pen or pencil, take a piece of paper and let your hand start moving on it. do not sit to think what to write or draw. just let go. after this, structure the thoughts and arrange those scribbles into objectives.
just let go. anyone can be 'creative'; irrespective of whether you are a manager, programmer, biker, writer or a shoe-watcher (wierd people who look at shoes a lot). i'm a car watcher. i like to look at the sloping lines to see how much auto aesthetics went into bringing together the right set of lines to make a machine beautiful. sometimes this applies to shoes also...
