A person who is creative is creative in everything they do. They are the first to see the value in things and predict what will happen next. Most people are not creative. You do not learn creativity. Being creative is a natural gift given to those who will use it well. A person who is creative may not be college educated. They have the right ideas to help them to succeed.

Creative people have that intuition that cannot be imitated. They are very valuable people that sometimes go unnoticed. People want answers to their daily problems. People who are mentally ill are very vulnerable to society's indifference. Our friends and family members that we thought we knew, may have fallen into this category of indifference. It is getting worse because our society is not what it use to be. A lot of people are very scared about where the future will take them. It is hard to keep up with all the changes. The creative person saw these changes and prepared themselves to deal with them. The creative person will not run and hide and deny themselves a happy life. Creativity will help the person to survive. The creative person is not a selfish person. They share their art with others. There are many different types of creative people. I will just mention the three major types. Some are loners. Being a loner is not a bad thing if you know the reason why. A loner may create better when they are by themselves. It does not mean they hate people. And it does not mean they are sad people either. Part of the art of being a creative loner is to know people.

Another creative group is the overly friendly people that love their talent so much that they want to share it with the whole world. These mostly consist of young people. And the last but humble group of creative people are the shy ones. They isolate themselves just to create. Their brains do not sleep. They have accepted their role in society and they are happy with it. We may see them as strange but that do not deter them from their goals in life. And that goal will be to make your life easier by different inventions.

When I look around me, I see the art of creativity dying. I see a lot of young people imitating the true artists. Young people are not producing works from the heart. They seem to have run out of ideas. These days young people just want to make quick money. Some will steal creative works and claim it to be their own. It is sad. Maybe another reason why creativity is dying is because of the Internet. You can find anything you want on the Internet. The Internet have made it easier not to think for yourself. Having a creative conversation among people these days is rare. The conversations are mostly about silly things that have no substance. It just seems like a lot of people are reverting back to their childhood. But do not give up, that person sitting next to you might be the answer you have been waiting for.
