Creative in the Middle of Crisis

According Qomaruddin Hidayat, vitamins and trigger the crisis forward. The crisis is an integral part of one's journey and the nation. Through the crisis is usually someone challenged to rise up and answer the obstacles facing the crush of life. Since then the crisis of a nation forced to seek breakthrough thinking and create new innovations and alternatives to build a better future. Various breakthroughs that emerge usually when there are crises that force people to seek solutions.

We can learn from the seeds of fruits. When the seed cells will grow, then there was a crisis in the network of cracks on the surface skin thus paving the way for the development of candidate large tree that is potentially still very small stored in the seed.We can also learn from animal eggs seekora. Chicken eggs, for example, which was hatched will experience a crisis and cracks in the walls so that open doors for chicks that will replace its parent in the future.

In neuropsychological studies, the potential of the human brain actually a lot more untapped and actualized. Network nerves in the brain that serves to collect information as the growth of science has not reached ten per cent are filled. Extraordinary human beings. Able to live in all weather and field conditions.


Human history has always driven forward by a series of crises that occur over time.Without the crisis and challenge, human potential will not appear and teraktualkan.Qomaruddin Hidayat pointed out, "like the villagers who make coconut oil, just by way of being blackmailed in such a way so the new oil will come out. Or rice pounded repeatedly for friction in a certain time so that her skin peeled off and came the rice. "


It's just not a creative idea just came to me. He must be planted, fertilized, and watered in us over the years even during life. To get an idea kreattif, can do several things:- Lots of readingWith a lot of reading, we fill the mind with the materials in the form of pieces of information that can be analogous to like collecting the pieces puzzel. When the series puzzel pieces of information were complete or at least nearly complete, it will look a picture / shape that has a fairly clear meaning that can be a creative idea.


Reading does not have to be books, but can magazines, newspapers, or articles and research journals on the Internet. Importantly, the content quality and fit our needs and interests. The more quality information we get, means more puzzel pieces we treasure.That means an opportunity to gain greater creative ideas. It also helps avoid duplication of effort (by accident) the idea from someone else already realized and / or published earlier.


- Frequently observedObserving is not the same as seeing. Observing is seeing with the eyes and brain. Most people, if you see something interesting objects or events will stop in to see it, without researching. A researcher not just leave it at that, but then think how you can, why, and so on.


- Frequent discussionsDiscuss with others who have an interest, knowledge and skills in the same plane with us is necessary to deepen and broaden horizons. However, it is necessary also discussions with people with interests, knowledge and skills in other fields so that we have a more comprehensive understanding on the aspects surrounding the field that we are interested.


Indeed, every person must be creative so that you appreciated by others. It can be a differentiator between you and other people. Creative people that will raise the image and your self-esteem in the eyes of anyone. Look at how many people around you who have hobbies and interests, but do not want to maximize senderung even turn it off. Due to creative so that they serimg considered mediocre, worthless, no consideration of others, and often were laid off or not used other people. Along with the rotation time, creative people who do not will quickly squashed by the "time" the dam will eventually lower the price themselves.


Sometimes we do not realize, how much God has complete and equip people with the "weapons" are full to fight with life. It was carefully all his calculations. Among his many combat equipment is one of them is: Creativity.


Are you familiar with and even admire, such as; Spielberg, George Lucas, John Grisham, Eminem, KD Lang, Jewel, Allanis Morissete? Or successful entrepreneurs like Bill Gates, HM. Sampoerna, Nicolaus Otto, Gottlieb-Daymler? Or a successful musicians such as Iwan Fals, Joey Ayala, Ahmad Dani, Bimbo, Rhoma Irama, and even Inul Daratista. And tertarikah you to be creative like them? Do you intend to set up a new business, or help the company you work for more advanced and developed? Now, more and more people realize that creativity plays an important role in achieving personal happiness and professional excellence.


Creative people are those who excel in the job, establish new businesses, which find a variety of products. Who built the building and designing houses, which produces films and performances, composing music, painting, and spawned a variety of works of beauty. Creative humans often have a social life exciting and stimulating, interact with many people, and exploring places captivating. Thus they are constantly learning and doing. Creativity is also an important aspect of healthy family environment. The creative parents know how to help children become adults who love and take advantage of life to the fullest.

We generally begin to limit the search and creative abilities at very young age. Usually, began to enter elementary school. Here, little by little, creativity began restrained by traditional education. We sat lined with sweet with twenty or thirty other children. And subject to rigid rules and procedures, which mostly restrict creative thinking skills.


In fact, research proves that we all have the power to be creative in many areas.According to Prof. Howard Gardner of Harvard University in his book Frames of Mind.We are blessed with not just one type of general intelligence, but seven: Verbal / Linguitis: the ability to manipulate words spoken or written; Mathematical / Logical: the ability to manipulate the system of numbers and logical concepts; Spatial: the ability to see and manipulate the patterns and designs; Musical: the ability to understand and manipulate musical concepts, such as tone, rhythm, etc.; bodily-kinesthetic: ability to use body and movement such as in sports or dance; Intrapersonal: the ability to understand the sense of self, likes to reflect and philosophize; Interpersonal: ability to understand other people, thoughts, and feelings they .


Creativity turned out to be something that is important for a nation. Creative thinking is needed in the process of thinking to solve problems. The more creative a person, the more alternative solutions. Thinking is the most important mental instruments. By thinking, we can more easily cope with various problems in life. Thinking creatively is one way that is recommended. That way someone will be able to see the issue from many perspectives.


Coleman & Hammen reveals, there are three general factors that can contribute to support creative thinking. First, cognitive ability. Someone must have high intelligence.For that he must continually develop the intellect.


Second, open attitude. How to think creatively will grow if the person being open to internal and external stimuli. Open attitude can be developed by expanding interests and insights.


Third, attitude-free, autonomous, and confident. Thinking creatively requires freedom of thought and expression. It also requires independence of thought, not tied to authority and existing social convention. Most importantly, she believes in her abilities. Someone who has a high level of creativity, often times produce extraordinary thoughts or ideas, odd, is sometimes considered irrational. In fact, because of fabulosity that, a creative person is considered "crazy". there are similarities between a creative person with a crazy person, because no conventional way of thinking. The difference, creative people capable of stepping thought the cause of enlightenment or solving problems. Meanwhile crazies are not able to do so.
