My Defintion of Creativity

"Creativity is allowing ones self to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep"
-Scott Adams

A big part of being creative is having your own personal definition and understanding of what creativity is. This quote made me think deeper into creativity. Many people stop their ideas midway because they are too afraid to fail or make mistakes! They don't have any confidence that they can do anything! If everytime you think of an idea, you decide it's stupid, or you may not be able to do it, or it's too easy to mess up , you won't ever get anywhere! You should try, keep going, and not be afraid of mistakes, who knows what they will become. In any form of art, you should come up with a lot of creative ideas and then look at your mistakes in a new light, and keep that special one that turned out not to be a mistake after all.
I've heard many personal definitions of creativity. What is it to be creative? What is creativity?In my opinion, creativity is complete originality. Something that people look at and find interesting and thought provoking.
