GUEST,Val Is Creativity For The Young? (36) RE: Is Creativity For The Young? 13 Jun 06


When you're young, there aren't as many people telling you "You Can't Do That" or "That's not the Right Way to do that." Yes there are a few like parents and teachers, but not a huge number. So it's OK to make up new stuff.

As you age, you're exposed to more and more people saying "You Can't" or "That's Not Right", and you start believing them.

Most adults (and some kids)adopt the philosophy of "fit in with the crowd, don't rock the boat, do what's expected of you". Creativity has no place in that mindset.
