Creativity in human life

Introduction

creativity personality self-improvement

When we talk about creativity, we first of all mean great people - writers, artists, scientists. However, each person is engaged in creativity in his life - when he tries not only to mechanically perform his work, but also to bring something of himself into it, to improve it in some way. Wherever the purpose of activity is born from the depths of the human spirit, creativity takes place. Wherever a person works with love, taste and inspiration, he becomes a master.

The question has long been raised before people: where does the new come from, new idea, new thought? After all, a new thought does not consist of the sum of old ones, otherwise there would be no problem of creativity at all, everyone could create, like new ideas.

You can sort through the knowledge gained at school and read from books as much as you like - you will not create anything new. You need to change yourself. You need to become capable of creativity, learn to be surprised at the world all the time, all the time to see secrets and problems where the other does not see anything of the kind. Creativity is a way of life.

The purpose of my essay is to study the role of creativity in human life. To achieve this goal, the following tasks were solved in the abstract:

The attitude to creativity in different eras is characterized;

Possible occurrences of creativity in human life are analyzed;

Conclusions are drawn about the significance of creativity and its existence in the life of every person.

In my essay, I tried to reveal creativity not only as a form of interaction between society and the individual, but also as a phenomenon and concept that are considered at the level or at the philosophical level. psychological research and generalizations, or in relation to specific areas human activity. I tried to reveal creativity, precisely as the essential power of a person, as the basis of life.

1. Creativity. Attitude towards creativity different times

Creativity is a process of human activity that creates qualitatively new material and spiritual values. Creativity is the ability of a person to create from the material delivered by reality (on the basis of knowledge of the laws of the objective world), which has arisen in labor. new reality meeting the diverse social needs. The types of creativity are determined by the nature of creative activity (creativity of the inventor, organizer, scientific and artistic creativity etc.).

Attitudes towards creativity in different eras changed dramatically. AT Ancient Rome in the book, only the material and the work of the binder were valued, and the author had no rights - neither plagiarism nor forgery was prosecuted. In the Middle Ages and much later, the creator was equated with a craftsman, and if he dared to show creative independence, then it was not encouraged in any way. The creator had to make a living in a different way: Molière was a court upholsterer, and the great Lomonosov was also valued for utilitarian products - court odes and the creation of festive fireworks.

And only in the XIX century. artists, writers, scientists and other representatives of the creative professions were able to live by selling their creative product. As A.S. Pushkin, "Inspiration is not for sale, but you can sell a manuscript." At the same time, the manuscript was valued only as a matrix for replication, for the production mass product.

In the 20th century, the real value of any creative product was also determined not by its contribution to the treasury of world culture, but by the extent to which it can serve as material for replication (in reproductions, television films, radio broadcasts, etc.). Therefore, there are differences in income, unpleasant for intellectuals, on the one hand, representatives of the performing arts (ballet, musical performance, etc.), as well as businessmen mass culture and, on the other hand, creators.

Society, however, has at all times been divided into two spheres human activity: otium and oficium (negotium), respectively, leisure activity and socially regulated activity. Moreover, the social significance of these areas has changed over time. In ancient Athens, biostheoretikos - theoretical life - was considered more "prestigious" and acceptable to a free citizen than biospraktikos - practical life.

In ancient Rome, vitaactiva - active life (negotium) - was considered the duty and main occupation of every citizen and head of the family, while vitacontemplativa - contemplative life - and leisure in general were little valued against the backdrop of civil service. Perhaps that is why all the brilliant ideas of antiquity were born in Ancient Greece, and the Romans embodied them in articles of Roman law, engineering structures and brilliantly shaped manuscripts that popularized the works of the great Greeks (for example, Lucretius).

During the Renaissance, at least in the minds of the ideologists of humanism, the primacy of leisure dominated practical activities, which was supposed to serve only as a source of means for the development of the individual in his free time from performing social and practical tasks. Modern times put the Cause in the first place (in particular, through the mouth of Goethe's Faust), and narrowed otium to a bourgeois hobby.

Interest in creativity, the personality of the creator in the XX century. connected, perhaps, with the global crisis, the manifestation of the total alienation of man from the world, the feeling that by purposeful activity people do not solve the problem of man's place in the world, but further delay its solution.

The main thing in creativity is not external activity, but internal activity - the act of creating an "ideal", an image of the world, where the problem of alienation of man and environment is resolved. External activity is only an explication of the products of an internal act. The features of the creative process as a mental (mental) act will be the subject of further presentation and analysis.

Highlighting the signs of a creative act, almost all researchers emphasized its unconsciousness, spontaneity, the impossibility of its control by the will and mind, as well as a change in the state of consciousness.

With the leading role of the unconscious, its dominance over consciousness in the process of a creative act, a number of other features of creativity are also associated, in particular, the effect of “powerlessness of the will” during inspiration. At the moment of creativity, a person is not able to control the flow of images, to arbitrarily reproduce images and experiences.

Spontaneity, suddenness, independence of the creative act from external causes is one of its main features. The need for creativity arises even when it is undesirable. At the same time, the author's activity eliminates any possibility of logical thought and the ability to perceive the environment. Many authors take their images for reality. The creative act is accompanied by excitement and nervous tension. All that remains for the mind is processing, giving a complete, socially acceptable form to the products of creativity, discarding the superfluous and detailing.

Creativity is what helps people achieve great success in life. Exactly creative people become world famous and the first historical figures. Leonardo da Vinci, A. Suvorov, A. Einstein, L. Tolstoy, G. Heine, S. Prokofiev, B. Gates, an unknown baker from a nearby bakery and a great many famous and unknown names, representatives of various professions can continue this list - the list people who have shown a creative approach in any kind of activity and who have realized their abilities in any field.

As a rule, relatives and friends, bending over the baby's cradle, catching his first movements and reaction to the world prophesy a great future for the newborn. The imagination of parents in this area has no boundaries. Here, hypotheses are fruitfully put forward about who is in front of them. Most likely, this is the future great (great): scientist; commander; composer; pop performer; athlete; fashion model; entrepreneur; religious figure, etc. But these assumptions remain only assumptions, nothing more, because. the field of personality realization is unlimited and involves two extremes achieved by man the level of self-realization is genius and mediocrity, mediocre and direct personality.

2. Creativity as a human companion from birth. Creativity as a result of self-improvement

The question of human presence creativity and the need for self-realization has been and is relevant from ancient times to our time. The ability to create - what is it, a given or the result of a person's enormous efforts on the path of development and self-improvement? There is no single answer to this question, and it is unlikely that anyone will ever be able to answer it exhaustively.

An animal or plant adapts itself to its environment purely biologically; either for this he develops the necessary organs, or the necessary behavior develops, or with the help of special physiological processes etc. Man, along with biological adaptations, received from nature one more, purely social adaptation. It consists in the fact that a person purposefully changes the surrounding nature, adapting it to himself, while making it possible to realize the potential for the development of nature. In this way, he becomes an essential and powerful factor in its development (more essential and powerful than animals). It is the process of such transformation that is usually called creativity.

Such creativity is a human need. If it were not inherent in us, we, being weak biological beings, would not be able to adapt to the physically strong world around us and would inevitably die. People are forced to oppose their own strength to the strength of the surrounding world, and this strength is created in the process of their creative activity.

These forced actions, as in the case of the acquisition of new knowledge, are also supported by the enormous pleasure, joy that a person receives during the period of creativity and upon the successful completion of a creative work, regardless of whether this work is carried out in the process of mental or physical labor. The power of satisfaction from creativity is even stronger than the pleasure derived from the acquisition of new knowledge, which was mentioned earlier. This satisfaction is the pleasure of triumph over the world around us and cooperation with it, the pleasure of struggling with the difficulties that life puts before us, the joy of being a trailblazer on a path that others have not been able to pass so far, the pleasure of reaching new heights, new achievements, the joy of contribution to improving the lives of others. This is an exciting feeling of competition with the same creators and with myself (I could not do this before), a feeling of pride in the results of my creative work, people need. All this has a positive effect on the state of each person, society as a whole.

But in addition to a favorable effect, there are often observed adverse effects. The unfavorable influence of creativity arises when it is not aimed at the benefit of society, but only at obtaining personal pleasure from it. And this happens when the satisfaction from creativity takes the form of pleasure from dominating the surrounding world, which supposedly manages to change at will. To what such creativity leads, we will say a little later.

Because of the satisfaction, pleasure that a person who performs a creative act receives, work based on creativity, out of duty for the sake of survival, profit, etc. turns into pleasure. Anyone who has even a little contact with creativity knows this. So the authors of these lines, while creating this pamphlet, also receive great satisfaction, which, without any coercion, encourages them to engage in this creative work.

At the same time, the direction and quality of creativity significantly depend on the nature of the interest of society and its ability to provide initiation, the process of creativity, bringing the results of creativity to the level of readiness for their perception and use, and, finally, ensure their use itself.

Creativity is based on the creator's knowledge and skills. Knowledge and skills are a social product. Creativity is also not a matter of only one person, but a matter of the whole society, especially since they often create not alone, but in whole teams. Creativity too social phenomenon.

Moreover, since creativity is associated with the transformation of the world around us, and therefore is a factor in its change, its development, its evolution, has its impact on the whole world, it can be considered not only a social, but a universal phenomenon.

So the ancestor of a person could be considered a person only when he developed the ability to create, and he realized this ability. Animals have almost no such ability; they, as far as we know, in contrast to the ability to extract and use knowledge, in fact, do not even have the rudiments of creative activity, which is what makes a person different from them. Since the emergence of creativity in human society, it continues to please and sadden us throughout our history. Moreover, the scale of creative activity increased in geometric progression on the basis of the same growth of knowledge, skills and previous creative achievements.

The rapid growth of creativity, on the one hand, generally improves people's lives, and on the other hand, becomes dangerous for it. The danger lies in the following.

Creatively transforming the surrounding world at will, striving to adapt it to himself, a person, willy-nilly, interferes in the course of natural natural processes that occur independently, independently of him and do not need outside interference. By doing this, he forces the world around him to change, regardless of his readiness for change, by which he commits an act of violence against the surrounding nature, the scale of which, with the growth of human power, has already increased to menacing proportions.

He interferes in the affairs of other people and entire nations, interferes in the processes occurring inside organisms, cells, molecules, in processes occurring in water bodies, in soil, in the atmosphere, in space, etc.

Intoxicated by the success of such violence, man imagined himself almost to be God, believing that he could subjugate everything to himself. It's only a matter of time: some processes can become subject to his will today, and others - tomorrow. And is it really so? Is man omnipotent in nature? Is the expression attributed to Archimedes: “Give me a foothold, and I will turn the world upside down” true?

It turns out not. It has long been noted that forced transformation, change does not bring the desired success. As far back as 1883, F. Engels expressed an idea on this in his Dialectic of Nature: “Let's not be too deceived by our victories over nature. For each such victory, she takes revenge on us. Each of these victories, however, has, first of all, the consequences that we counted on, but secondly and thirdly, completely different unforeseen consequences, which very often destroy the significance of the first. . Previously, Hegel called such an effect in relation to social processes "the irony of history." And this happens because such interference disrupts the natural course of processes that the creator wants to change at will, regardless of their objective independence from the desire of a person, with the possibility of changing only an object that is ready for this, without full knowledge possible consequences, which is fraught with an unfavorable outcome, both for the process itself and for the human creator who changes it.

The denial of human omnipotence and the punishment of people who do not take this reality into account is also indicated by any religion that imposes a taboo (prohibition) on attempts to change the surrounding nature and interfere in processes that are not subject to it. According to various religious beliefs, they are subject only to a certain deity, who does not allow a person to invade a world alien to him and punishes him for this invasion. Such beliefs, of course, were based on the experience of a person who, at every step, feels his weakness before the forces of nature, the personification of which was God, kind and evil spirits etc. They already then - at the time of their appearance, even at the dawn of the development of mankind - warned man: your attempts to forcibly change the world independent of you will be unsuccessful and end in disaster for you (God's punishment).

We live in a class society in which domination and violence of some over others is natural. The person in him constantly feels competition and dictate over the special side of other people in determining his own social behavior: children - on the part of their parents, students - on the part of teachers, workers - on the part of their superiors, soldiers - on the part of commanders, the poor on the part of the rich, etc. And dictators, small and large, having this or that power over others, inevitably use it for violent actions over the latter. Violence in our society is universal. So we grow creators-dictators, from whose creativity, its violent nature, everything around suffers, and with the current many-fold increased possibilities, such an unreasonable, violent transformation of the environment can lead to the destruction of humanity altogether.

Others may say (and say) that since humanity is so unreasonable that it is ready to commit suicide, then let it destroy itself. Nature will not suffer from this. Having said this, they will be fundamentally wrong. Nature will still suffer from the death of mankind and, perhaps, this will be a real catastrophe for the world around us and even a catastrophe on a universal scale. There is only one way out in this situation: in the destruction of the system of domination of some over others, the power of some over others, which give rise to violence, including the violent nature of creativity. Domination should not rule in human society. It is not found anywhere in nature, except, as with us - people, nowhere is there domination of one over the other. Mutual assistance, cooperation, interdependence of all from each other should rule, as is the case between the mentioned pairs of integral objects. These objects are integral because they are interdependent. Because of this, it is impossible to destroy them, since each part of this pair separately, one without the other, cannot exist for a long time. And they only exist in pairs. The destruction of one component of the pair automatically leads to the disappearance of the other. In the case of the elimination of domination in human society, the same rule applies: if there is no master, there will be no subordinate who serves as an object of violence on the part of the master. And in the absence of the phenomenon of domination in society, it will naturally disappear from creativity.

In manifestation creativity there is nothing unexpected and surprising: these abilities are inherent in everyone since childhood. They are often simply forgotten. Remember your childhood, when you, using the pictures you saw, heard or read from someone else's life, stored in your memory, purely intuitively, on your own imagination, composed such stories that adults, if they managed to hear them, were only amazed. No wonder children are considered the biggest dreamers. Unfortunately, as people grow up, they increasingly use logical operations with gradually accumulating false information and by this they drive their former creative abilities deeper and away from real knowledge, problems and opportunities. But they can be extracted if you neutralize thinking and give free rein to intuition, unstoppable human fantasy and imagination - mental intuitive actions, as suggested above (for example, to retire or leave the situation that prevents you from listening to the “inner” voice, or by an effort of will to retire mentally).

A person most often does not have full knowledge about the interdependencies of the created object with its environment, although ideally it is desirable that they be avoided. negative effects from creativity. And time complete knowledge no, then from a creative act one should not expect a result planned the day before, or, in extreme cases, expect an immediate result. In order not to be disappointed in your activities or not to do stupid things, you need to know some rules of creativity that must be observed in this case.

Rule 1. You can not expect the same results with the same effects on different objects to be transformed (objects of transformation).

Rule 2. In this case, do not try to forcefully change the objects of transformation in order to still get what you need, since such violence will not only not give the desired result, but can also become a source of danger, both for those around you and for the creator. In order to achieve one's goal, it is necessary, with the help of appropriate targeted actions, the creation of appropriate conditions, to first bring the objects of education to desired state(“maturity”), and then only transform it.

Rule 3. Creativity consists in creating qualitatively new elements in our environment - objects with new relationships to the surrounding world, i.e. with new properties.

Rule 4. An object of transformation can be considered qualitatively changed only when it has at least two opposite properties (qualities) and for the manifestation of each of them it is enough to change the environment in which the object of transformation is located.

Rule 5. If at the first stage of creativity the object of transformation has acquired undesirable properties, then the changes continue in the direction of eliminating the shortcomings obtained at the first stage until the planned results are obtained.

Rule 6. Creativity should be directed to results that are positive for the person and surrounding nature.

3. Creativity in each of us

Since creativity is a property of a person that distinguishes him from an animal, it should be inherent in all people. Creativity plays huge role in everyone's life. With an intensive creative process, a person has a great desire to live, to be happy. Every person should let creativity into their lives, because a creative person cannot follow the beaten path. He must find his own. And one must go - to escape from the collective mind, collective psychology.

Most people would like to realize themselves in creativity, but for some reason this remains at the level of a dream. These people can buy theater tickets, concerts and exhibitions. Discussing other people's work for hours - books, plays, painting or music, being true connoisseurs of art. But at the same time remaining in the shadow of the more successful and successful.

Why do most talented people bury their abilities, coming up with all sorts of excuses, thereby justifying the fear of their own creativity? As Konstantin Georgievich Paustovsky said: "The impulse to creativity can fade away just as easily as it arose if left without food." But one day comes the realization that life has become an endless pursuit of money and has lost any other meaning.

There is envy for those who are not afraid to start creative process and achieved recognition.

The classic excuse for such people is lack of time. But just once a person needs to change his daily routine, spend an hour thinking, philosophizing, and he will understand that there will be time for the realization of creative ideas by itself.

Creativity in human life requires inspiration, but many reject the lack of inspiration. And as soon as they try to create, they themselves will catch the appropriate mood. Having plunged headlong into something interesting, the next day they will already look forward to the moment when they can continue to create.

After all, the theme of creativity in the life of each of us plays a huge role. Thanks to creativity, a person is able to express his emotions and experiences, to convey mood. Of course, it is foolish to hope that your hobby will bring you millions, become Coco Chanel or Paulo Coelho not so easy.

However, all your work can be more than compensated if, instead of regular meaningless entertainment that saves you from boredom and a certain amount of money, you spend a piece of your time on the implementation of a long-cherished idea. But do not waste the time of possible creativity on overtime work. Perhaps in this way you can replenish the family budget, but in your soul this will not increase joy.

And yet, sometimes there are doubts about how important the role of creativity is in a person's life - is it necessary for someone? But first of all, you need it and sometimes even just necessary. Since plunging into the world of their own ideas, a person excludes the possibility of experiencing constant stress from real events occurring in the world.

Moreover, not every modern person, giving his work 8-12 hours a day, can see the results of his work. Even piles of documents processed during the working day, a person may not see in reality, they are replaced by some virtual electronic files. And only creativity can allow you to experience the pleasure of the result of your work.

And as George Prince said, "Another word for creativity is courage." Courage in creativity is the ability to make a decision in a situation of uncertainty, not be afraid of your own conclusions and bring them to the end, risking personal success and own reputation.

And it is certain that every person creative person. Each person's life is individual, no one will ever repeat life path another person. So, life is creativity, and creativity is life.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I would like to say that there are not so many people on Earth who never experience a state of complete apathy, when there is neither the strength nor the mood to do anything. It's hard to get out of this state.

But all the failures that have fallen on your head will not be eternal. A month will pass, another - and everything will seem small and funny, in extreme cases a little sad, but not tragic. We must create our future happy life, dream about it, draw with bright multi-colored paints. Requires maximum concentration positive attitude.

If you scold yourself for not doing this and that today, tomorrow you will not do it again! It is better to forgive yourself with all my heart and tune in to the next day - I will definitely do everything that is necessary, I have enough strength ...

What can help maintain a sense of healthy optimism for a long enough time? What has always driven a person in his life? Creation! Creativity plays a huge role in human life. It is it that can save us in trouble, lead us out of the most dead ends life situations, to support when there is no strength, to show the way if we are lost in a difficult life. It is creativity that gives meaning to our existence. If a person is able to treat life creatively, he will live!

Creativity is action, and action is independent. Very often, creative people are not understood by others, but this should not affect the actions of the creator. Creative person must create for himself, and not for the sake of society. And most importantly, a creative person lives in each of us.

The purpose of my essay was to study the role of creativity in human life. The work says more than once that the role of creativity in human life is enormous. Creativity is the basis of life. Thus, the purpose of the abstract is achieved.

1. Make time for creativity. It's so simple.

Creativity, almost never asked this question. AT recent times I was interested in aircraft modeling. I like working with blueprints and creating something new. So I bought material for the manufacture of a radio-controlled aircraft model. There are goods for creativity, let's get started!

There are drawings, and there is a desire. The opportunity to assemble the model will only be at home, and now I'm on watch at work. Here are photos of the foam I bought (my daughter Nika is holding) and photos of the blueprints and model that will come out.

Report on the 7th task!
Communication training
I haven't done my art in a long time. Remember, I'm still the center children's creativity visited. Childish! How long ago was that!

The essence of my work is singing, I love to sing very much, I used to turn on my favorite songs and sing for days on end, but somehow for the last six months, I abandoned this business, due to criticism from the outside, like, I don’t have a voice, but I’m pulling in the wrong place . And I, fool, believed these envious people (I say, envious people, because now I understand that they envied me, that I can sing without a voice, but they can’t). So, more to the point, today I sang one of my favorite songs, which takes the soul very much. Emotions as always indescribable!

But there is a way out! Try it yourself! Today I became even happier after I remembered something that brings me a lot of pleasure! Forgive me my neighbors! All Happiness!

Task 7. Communication training

The task to make something creative immediately seemed to me not the fastest thing. Initially, I thought to make a couple of sketches of the view from the window (previously completed art school, and musical too). These genres of creativity are well known to me not only in theory.

But somehow it didn't go very well. My friend Alexei, who also participates in this training, decided to write a story. Well, it was already really funny. Since we are basically having a little fun here, and this training is kind of fun, I thought it was really cool to write something. This is both peculiar, and new, and unbanal, and frankly uncomfortable. Therefore, it is really bold to some extent, which cannot but attract.

And I decided to write a fairy tale!

For an additional ball, the text itself is a confirmation, but I still decided to insert some kind of photo.

I still doubt that this kind of training will not backfire on me, since this page can still be read not only by my close friends and training participants, but also by other users. But it's hard for me to predict the consequences. Ultimately, this is my personal space, and not the profile of an employer or employee. In general, we burn!

Read who cares. And while I will arrive in a state and "I want and prick." So, a fairy tale!

I must say right away that I wrote in one approach, did not rewrite, did not particularly correct anything, I only re-read it once. Having previously composed a small idea, in the form of a fairy tale-parable with black humor. In general, there will be many mistakes! Time and so killed 3-4 hours. Creativity of the artist of the red word.

The story of a hamster.

There lived in one bright and green valley a hamster named Hamster. He had many friends, he was moderately well-fed and did well in agricultural affairs. That is, he was such a prosperous hamster, he grew beans, peas and other products that were useful and popular in their area. The hamster lived in a comfortable mink on the edge of the forest. In the evenings he liked to run after grasshoppers and butterflies, and often arranged meetings with other hamsters in his meadow. The beans and peas grew by themselves, so he didn't stress much during the day, but walked, stuffed his sides and thought about upcoming events with friends. On one such beautiful sunny day, the idea came to his head to celebrate another successful harvest. Yes, the other hamsters loved him for it. For throwing interesting parties. This time, our hamster decided to arrange another grain party, on which hamsters usually pretty much filled their cheeks with grain and rolled merrily on the ground. This time the hamster decided to exceed all expectations. And he invited all the famous hamsters in his valley to a meeting. There was a real hamster party.

On the eve of the party, the weather deteriorated badly. The wind began to blow and the air smelled of approaching rain. In addition, it began to get colder, which hamsters do not particularly like. Our hamster Hamster began to be indignant, rush to the grasshoppers in the clearing, and when he jumped into the hole, he scattered the grain all over the floor. So our Hamster was dissatisfied. He began to whine and lament that the weather was so bad.

He says to himself: “What kind of bad thing is this going on, what kind of Mui Ne is this!” (censorship, think for yourself what kind of Mui Ne will go in the text) The rain was harsh, but sentimental. He was responsible for everything connected with the wind and rain at that time. His position was such a rainy one.

The hamster was not stupid and the beaver was cunning, even though he was a hamster. After several hours of whining, I went to write a complaint to the "heavenly office" - the place where all sorts of hamsters and beavers could connect with the forces of nature. In general, our hamster dashed off a normal "cart" on Rain, for which he soon got unpleasant conversation with higher management and was punished. We will not go into hamster affairs and the bureaucratic system of heavenly government, but we can only assume that the hamster pretty much embellished the story with a complaint about Rain.

While the proceedings began, Rain temporarily ceased to perform duties. The hamster was happy. The party should have gone well. And so it happened. The hamsters took a walk, fairly took grains, on average, half a kg per brother, which is why our hero fell asleep before the end of the party. Hamster friends thanked the owner, although he no longer heard them, and fled. In general, everything went well.

In the morning, the Hamster went out to the clearing to chew some grass, as always stuffed his cheeks with grain and other edible things, then rested. It became hot, then he realized that the sun was descending on him. The sun, in his mischievous manner, crept up to the hamster and says: “Hey, good hamster, tell me, be merciful, did you roll up a complaint against Rain?” The hamster responded in the affirmative. The sun continued:

Maybe let's put this thing on the brakes, otherwise it somehow turns out badly. Rain is dissatisfied and believes that this is all superfluous and even more like slander.
- Let him be responsible for his actions - answered the hamster, grinning ironically.

Yes, our hamster was that "darling". He was angry at Rain, something could have interfered with him, although it was his job. But what the hamster did not like more was that Rain did not consider his opinion. For this, he harbored a grudge. After all, previously Hamster personally asked Rain to stop his business! In general, the conversation did not go and the sun flew away.

The next day it got really hot. The hamster became a little uneasy from the languishing heat. He already wished that Rain would get down to business faster, otherwise it was unbearably hot. He considered his frantic trick with a statement successful, but in his soul there was no longer any desire to torment Rain. “Let him be released there quickly, and he began to water the ground, the old dandy,” thought Khomyak. But to go, withdraw the case, he was somehow uncomfortable. He hoped that he would be asked to do it again, and then he would forgive Rain from the master's shoulder.

At lunch, the Hamster, as always, sat and hamstered, arriving in his thoughts. And then the sun appeared.
- Well, Hamster, Rain was discharged with rather strong stars, maybe you can withdraw your case? Sun said with a soft smile.
The hamster was happy. Everything he wanted came true. He nodded affirmatively. The sun answered: “Yes, who needs this case, because it’s a trifle, withdraw the case, and everything will be fine.” Here you need to clarify, our Hamster was a hero foreign origin, and his nodding had a completely different meaning.

Maybe you can call back? the Sun asked again.
The hamster nodded once more, he understood that he had been misunderstood, but out of habit his answer was again misunderstood.
- Yes, you, I see, Hamster, completely beguiled the coast! - the Sun already answered with displeasure (it was unpleasant for him that the hamster behaved so badly, because he and Dozhny were good friends, and had worked together for many years). The sun turned around and flew back towards itself in an indignant mood.

The hamster wanted to say something after him, but he stuffed so much grain into his cheeks that he could not utter a word. And spitting was not at all interesting. He was still a goon.
“Okay you. I'm going to take the application. - decided the hamster. “To talk to you again during dinner, no, to warn you in advance?”

After a couple of hours, the hamster went to pick up the cart. He said that, they say, even though Rain is a rare reptile, but the hamster is ready to forgive him and withdraw the application. “Let him work already, old curmudgeon,” said our hamster. And so it was decided.

The next morning, the hamster went out to the porch of his hole, hoping to stretch and breathe in the fresh morning air, but he smelled only the smell of dry grass and lack of oxygen. It seemed that there was simply nothing to breathe. The day became quite unbearable. At a time when our hero went for a portion of spices, onlookers and gossips gathered on the market square. Many have talked about the current drought. From one very poorly dressed and, frankly, foul-smelling hamster, he heard that Rain went on the run, offended by everyone for some reason, disappeared behind the High Mountains.

Let's say that the High Mountains were a mysterious place for the hamster offspring, and many hamsters were afraid of those places. There was a lot of gossip and wonderful stories about them in hamster circles.

On the way home, he heard that someone was talking about the fact that all this was due to the fact that some asshole dashed off a statement in the “heavenly office. Many found fault with the unknown, which our Hamster had to do in order not to look suspicious. As a result, our hamster became a little scared that they would figure him out and then he would no longer be able to find any respect in the valley. Yes, and the full and concise root of one useful plant threatened his harvest.

Our hamster decided to go look for Rain. And not to tell long history about his campaign, since the author himself was already pretty crazy that he short story already became not at all short, but the idea was quite simple. I decided to let go of all the thoughts and other arguments of our Khomyachina. And even more so to engage in a description of all the charms and other surrounding space.

In general, the Hamster went to the "High Mountains". On the way he met a bean. Yes, a real talking bean. Our hamster has never seen anything like this. Bob's name, oddly enough, was Bob, as one old grain-dependent and bosom friend of our Hamster. Bob and Homya quickly found mutual language. Bob was a lonely cowboy bean, well, you probably know those. Such beans constantly smile and talk a lot. This was our new friend. Basically, in every sense of the word. The real talking bean is the BOB.

They decided to go together to the High Mountains. Since it was pleasant for Bob to chat with the hamster, and having learned about the cause of the impending drought, he confidently volunteered to help his new friend Hamster in his case.

They walked merrily and chatted, although it was already unbearably hot. Just then, a shadow passed by. Our heroes got scared, but gathering their fears into fists, they decided to see what it was. It turned out that it was a big bun. Yes, and the bun also talked. Bulka introduced herself and said that she loves to walk in the fields and pick mushrooms. In general, the bun created the impression of a kind and peaceful representative of the cereal breed. Our heroes had nothing to fear.

Hamster has some questions. Before, he had not had to meet with talking beans, sweet and funny rolls. He didn't know they could talk.

But then Bob made it clear. "You Hamster," Bob said, "Hamster of the 10th generation of Jedi Hamsters, you have many special talents, including the ability to talk to people like us."

Wow! - thought the Hamster - so, then I'm a super-hero?
- You are the chosen one! You are the Chosen One! I have been waiting for you for many years to help you in decisive matter Bob replied
- In what other case?
- You must save the valley from drought.
- Nifiga yourself irony! thought the Hamster.
- Such is fate. I will help you, Homya, especially since you really please me.
Bunka also wanted to help, but Hamster pulled her up:
- We do not need any rolls in such a responsible matter. I am a 10th generation Jedi hamster with outstanding abilities, and this is my friend Bob, Talking Bob, who was specifically waiting for me here to help in a great cause. And you're just a bun. Go ahead, walk further in your fields.

Bulka had to leave the funny company.
- Yes, you're a racist - said Bob.
- I'm not a racist, I just don't like cereal and oatmeal cookies. I especially hate potatoes. And so I treat everyone equally.
- Okay, let's move on. Bob suggested.

They went on for a long time, but the story seemed quite long to the author, so let's miss their good conversations on the topic of racism and other things, the main impression of the Hamster has already been formed. (The author continues his applied work in the field of fantasy stories).

In the end, our heroes are tired, before " high mountains There were a couple of hours left. They ended up in a rocky desert. The hamster was exhausted, he asked Bob to drive to the Rain and convey his apologies. Bob flew off and returned.

Well, how did it go? asked the Hamster.
- The rain did not understand anything, I'm BOB. Only you understand me. You're a 10th generation Jedi hamster. You'll have to go.

Everything would be fine, but they were already very tired, and Bob and Hamster lost their strength while one was walking, and the other was playing zombie hamsters on his mobile to no avail.

There is only one way out of life - to eat your own true friend Bob, who offered to put himself on the altar for good great mission. For the first time in the life of a hamster, there was such a cruel choice. Taste a true friend or return back to the field, and there, refreshed with renewed vigor, go to the mountains. But Bob said that Rain would soon dry up completely due to resentment, crying himself out. Therefore, there is no time for this. The hamster had to come to terms with the terrible fate of Bob. (Further, creativity for children ends - author's note).

Before being eaten, Bob gave advice: “Promise not to be such an eccentric with the letter M again, if you had not been offended in vain, then none of this would have happened. If you knew how to forgive, you would immediately give your consent to the Sun, if you weren’t such a goon, you would answer him a second time, and if you weren’t such a proud infection, then the bun would be with us (it was big, and having bitten off a piece of it, nothing would have happened), and also so lazy, who would still have enough strength to reach the game of “zombie beans”. And now you have to eat me. Don't be like that again!" Bob said sadly.

The hamster cried and repented, eating the remains of a friend, he promised that he would never again be such an eccentric with the letter m. Through pain and suffering, he understood everything. Eventually, he got to Rain and asked for his forgiveness. All was well in the valley.

The moral of the story is: don't be a selfish pretzel! Otherwise it will be worse. And if it has already gotten worse, it’s better not to be an eccentric with the letter m anyway and solve the problem, even if difficult way, but still acceptable, until I had to burst my acquaintances.

After talking with Rain, the Hamster fell asleep. He woke up in his house in an embrace with a bean pod. The application for Rain has not yet been sent to the "heavenly office". It was a dream. But Homka was now a completely different hamster. Instead of a busy party that evening, it was raining, Homka planted a bean, and talked to him for a long time. Other hamsters thought it was strange, but it was bearable. The main thing is that he understood everything! - Don't be a jerk!

Now it’s definitely the end, whoever read it is well done!
Phew. I don't know, I won't even read it. What happened the first time, so be it. Although I re-read it and corrected it a little. Do not judge my works of creativity strictly, I am from the heart!

The concept of "creativity" is broad and multifaceted. It keeps pace with the person, helps us to develop. How much it is necessary to engage in creativity, how it affects the psychological state - let's try to figure it out. We all come from childhood Each of us was engaged in creativity in childhood and adolescence. We sculpted bunnies in kindergarten, drawing, playing musical instruments, staged skits at matinees and got real pleasure from it.

If you recall childhood feelings, your involvement in life and the saturation of the day, it seemed that there were so many interesting, unknown things ahead. With a sense of curiosity, the child wakes up in the morning and runs to discover the world, he asks a thousand questions to his parents, constantly changes his actions, finds more and more new hobbies. Growing up, a person, as a rule, occupies his day with “useful and adult” things, reducing the percentage of creativity many times over. Work, duties appear, and a person artificially begins to create frames for himself and sometimes exists in them all his life. The specifics of human development and human society is the process of going beyond existing knowledge and experience, mastering new knowledge and acquiring invaluable experience.

Creativity solves this problem, it is the transcendence of the initial level of activity in a unique and highly effective way. Creativity is the joy of creation. Creativity plays a huge role in human life and its psychological state. Yes, in tsarist Russia In order to prepare a girl for marriage and choose a worthy husband, boys and girls were taught the basics of various arts, and creative work was an everyday duty for them.

If a person did not know at least 30 dances, 14 of which were waltzes, he could not get to the ball. Judge for yourself, what would he do there? It is forbidden to stand at the ball when everyone is dancing, to be silent when it is time for conversations. Such people, depicting part of the interior, are removed and are no longer allowed to the balls. You must comply with the accepted rules of etiquette in society, be interesting interlocutor, active, when everyone is dancing - dance, show interest, respect for people. On the one hand, it is part of a certain way of life. Having transformed, the society changed its habits and dressed in other clothes, leisure and entertainment changed balls to dance floors of clubs, but the need for educated, interesting, creative interlocutors remained.

On the other hand, creativity is one of the main sources of strength inner strength, feelings of energy, joy, inspiration, uplift. There are not so many people on Earth who have not at least once fallen into depression and apathy. How to get out of this state as quickly as possible, and what is even better - not to be in it?! Creativity helps a lot to stay positive. Creativity is action, and action is independent. Do, create, fantasize! Draw pictures, embroider with beads, sculpt from clay, build castles from matches, create models of cars, tanks, planes - anything, as long as this hobby brings pleasure. You need it!

When you do what you love, even the heaviest thoughts recede, the mind and body rest. A rested brain will surely find correct solution. When a person creates, creates something new, he has no time to get sick, diseases recede. This is especially true for older people. Always leave at least 15 minutes for creativity. After all, you will spend this time alone with yourself and what you love. Plunging into the world of his own ideas, a person excludes the possibility of experiencing constant stress from real events taking place in the world.

Surprisingly, even 15 minutes of creativity a day will add both strength and desire to act for the whole day. Moreover, not every modern person, giving his work 8-12 hours a day, can see the results of his work. Even piles of documents processed during the working day can not be seen in reality: they are replaced by some virtual electronic files. And only creativity can allow you to experience the pleasure of the result of your work. Children can help in creativity - play with them, draw or craft with your own hands. Distracting from everyday life and fuss, you will become closer to the child.

Joint creativity and interests strengthen relationships in the family. If there are difficulties in communicating with your partner, find common ground. Think about what you can do together, maybe a common trip to dance classes will return lightness and understanding to the relationship. Creativity can also be underestimated, unrecognized, invisible and understandable only to its author, but still be creativity. The creative result is measured not by the cost or the number of discs sold, but by the strength of emotions, sensations and smiles on your face, the reaction of viewers and fans, relatives and friends.

Since creativity is a property of a person that distinguishes him from an animal, it should be inherent in all people. Creativity plays a huge role in everyone's life. With an intensive creative process, a person has a great desire to live, to be happy. Every person should let creativity into their lives, because a creative person cannot follow the beaten path. He must find his own. And one must go - to escape from the collective mind, collective psychology.

Envy appears for those who were not afraid to start the creative process and achieved recognition.

And as George Prince said, "Another word for creativity is courage." Courage in creativity is the ability to make decisions in a situation of uncertainty, not be afraid of one's own conclusions and bring them to the end, risking personal success and one's own reputation.

And there is no doubt that every person is a creative person. The life of each person is individual, no one will ever repeat the life path of another person. So, life is creativity, and creativity is life.

From birth, we are taught to live by certain rules and principles. Even the most liberal-minded parents adhere to standard patterns and values: education, work, family (and children, as a result). Breaking out of this scheme later is not so easy. AT adolescence Of course, there comes a period of a kind of rebelliousness, but it passes (often even completely without a trace), just as this age itself passes. A person, as they say, grows up and takes up his mind. But in reality, it simply accepts the rules of the game, begins to fit into the system and fulfill its conditions in exchange for certain “benefits”: the opportunity to study, work - in a word, “express oneself”.

Why and why does he do it? It is vital for a person to have some place of his own and his own “hooks”. This gives a feeling of confidence and security. Such hooks and systems can be great multitude, but the strongest and most influential of them are those that are backed up by connections with other people: work, friends, family, children ... It's easier to survive this way. Our ancestors understood this when they decided to switch to a tribal way of life.

It is easier to live in a tribe, in a society. It is a fact. But this fact is also mixed with the fact that, receiving those very “benefits” and opportunities, a person gradually loses his individuality, stops thinking about what, how and why he does it. The "system" itself gives ready-made answers and scenarios, nullifying the need to think.

There is even such a “sign” among the same graduates and students: “if you do NOT go to college immediately after school, that is, interrupt the process of 10 years of study, then you are unlikely to next year you will try to do it." And they add at the same time - "... you just get out of the habit of learning." But it's not just a matter of withdrawal. Falling out, even by accident, from any system, human consciousness finds itself in extreme conditions when it didn’t work out to cling to what was supposed to and what everyone is clinging to ... And it is this “extreme” that contributes to a kind of “awakening”, when you suddenly have to decide and think for yourself, without a system and its ready-made answers. And the same one who did not enter, for example, begins to think for himself: “Why should I study for this particular one, maybe first work / go to the army / do something ...?”. And there is a desire to decide for yourself, and not just take the ready-made answers of the system and act by inertia.

This is how truly creative people turn out. People who are not included in the systems, do not live according to scenarios, and therefore are able to see and express by themselves, through themselves, those aspects of life and spirit, access to which is simply closed to others by their own addiction.

After all, what is creativity anyway?

Creativity, any kind, is in itself the greatest rebellion. The creative person is free from any conditioning; otherwise his work will be nothing more than copying. One can be creative only by being an individual; it is impossible to create while remaining part of the psychology of the crowd, the system.

A creative person cannot follow the beaten path. He must find his own. And one must go - to escape from the collective mind, collective psychology.

And how is it usually with a person who is on a certain life stage for one reason or another, is out of normal system, out of leads (exceptionally hard fate, any serious shock, non-traditional sexual orientation and others)? There is no acceptance of the "rules of the game", and, consequently, as such, inclusion in widespread systems also does not occur ...

No matter how strongly this person is tied to any society, a company that could give him these very “hooks”, compared to the majority, he is always alone. There are no ready-made scripts, there is nothing that gives a sense of security and blocks thinking process this majority.

Even doing things in life that are familiar to “ordinary” people, whether it be study, work, friendship, love - whatever, he, due to the circumstances of his understanding, does, he simply has to do it “outside the system”, somehow in his own way .

Hence the craving for creativity, for creative professions. To original thinking and non-standard approach to familiar things and phenomena!

Undoubtedly, non-standard thinking is creativity in itself.
