Little Things Can Stop Creativity
By Robert Alan Black, Ph.D.
"Being creative requires that we venture into unknown territory and chance failure."
“No money can stop a creative project.”
“No resources can stop a creative project.”
“No support can stop a creative project.”
Yes major things or forces can stop creativity. Yet when we look at the history of invention or in general the history of new ideas we can discover that these major forces truly do not stop the devoted, committed, dedicated creation person.
No money, resources, support did not stop:
0. Ghandi
0. Mother Teresa
0. Charles Goodyear
0. Harriet Tubman (underground railroad during the Civil War)
0. Henry Ford
0. Chester Carlson (inventor of the Xerox process)
0. nor many others from the distant or recent past.
One key difference for them was their determination. Yes eventually money, resources and support came or was acquired.
They enabled the creative person to take their idea and turn it into a larger and larger solution.
Yet the little things are what stop most of us from utilizing our creativeness long before we get to tapping the big resources for future giant success or breakthrough.
