Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

 

-Scott Adams-

Creativity is completely different than insanity. Insanity is doing the same thing, the same way, over and over, while expecting different results. Sometimes people adhere insanity believing that its creativity, thus generating a negative outcome. However, the above statement emphasizes on the creative process and scientific innovation.

World Creativity and Innovation Day is a global United Nation day celebrated on April 21 to raise awareness around the importance of creativity and innovation in problem-solving. World Creativity and Innovation Day provides people with an excuse to try to solve old problems in new ways–with the potential of finding better and more effective methods to accomplish their goals!

The journey of Creativity

In 1452, a man was born who would set the standard for what it meant to be a Renaissance man, excelling in both the arts and the sciences. He was involved with Invention, Mathematics, Music, Geology, Astronomy, Cartography, just to name a few. The guy was capable of creating any-thing from absolutely no-thing! He was non other than the great Leonardo Da Vinci. In fact, this man was seen as the utterly perfect example of a universal genius, whom was unusual for his time. And although he was admittedly unique, that doesn’t mean others can’t take a cue from him and try to think in innovative ways as well. Thus, the World Creativity and Innovation Day was established to encourage everyone to dig deep and find their own inner Da Vinci.

World Creativity and Innovation Day (WCID) was founded on 25 May 2001 in Toronto, Canada. The founder of the day was the Canadian Marci Segal, who was studying creativity in 1977 at the International Centre for Studies in Creativity. When the headline ‘Canada in Creativity Crisis’ appeared in the National Post, she decided to generate a World Creativity and Innovation Day.

In 2017, the 21st of April was officially recognized by the UN as being the World Creativity and Innovation Day. With efforts supported by the United Nations, World Creativity and Innovation Day encourages every individual to imagine what it would be like to live in a better world with different solutions and more cooperation.

How can we celebrate the Day?

Try out these ideas to celebrate or, come up with your own creative ideas!

• Generate Ideas That Solve Problems

Start the day out by brainstorming. Sit down and think of all the things you do during the day and how you might develop them for the better. Instead of being annoyed by them, find motivation through the average stuff that are found all around.

• Look at the World Differently

Sometimes, creativity and inspiration come from doing things a little differently than usual. Sit in a different place at the usual restaurant or, better yet, take a picnic lunch and sit outside. Try climbing a tree and looking at the world from above for a few minutes!

• Meet with Different People

Find a group to gather with that is outside of the typical type of people in life. Become part of a community effort that is outside the typical charity involvement for you and learn why this effort is so important to them.

• Share Innovative Ideas

Got an idea for your workplace or local town? Let them know how it could benefit others in the community.

• Visit a New Culture

Sometimes, innovation and creativity come from seeing something from across the world that could be done better in our little corner. Learning about the way different people groups and cultures across the globe do things can help not only foster respect for others but also generate incredible ideas.

Bottom Line

Creativity and innovation are beneficial in every walk of life, occupation and career. From those in customer service finding ways to improve their customers’ experiences to scientists whose every workday is filled with learning new things about the world and finding new ways to apply it.

No more hum-drum day-to-day sameness. Instead, it is time to open that creative centre, no matter how far inside the mind it has been buried. Let’s take a moment on this World Creativity and Innovation Day, to set our lives on a whole new path!

படைப்பாற்றல் பைத்தியக்காரத்தனத்தை விட முற்றிலும் வேறுபட்டது. வெவ்வேறு முடிவுகளை எதிர்பார்க்கும் அதே வேளையில், பைத்தியம் என்றால் ஒரே காரியத்தை, அதே வழியில், மீண்டும் மீண்டும் செய்வது. சில நேரங்களில் மக்கள் பைத்தியத்தை அதன் படைப்பாற்றல் என்று நம்புகிறார்கள், இதனால் எதிர்மறையான விளைவை உருவாக்குகிறார்கள். இருப்பினும், மேற்கண்ட அறிக்கை படைப்பு செயல்முறை மற்றும் அறிவியல் கண்டுபிடிப்புகளை வலியுறுத்துகிறது.

உலக படைப்பாற்றல் மற்றும் புதுமை நாள் என்பது ஏப்ரல் 21 அன்று கொண்டாடப்படும் உலகளாவிய ஐக்கிய நாடுகளின் தினமாகும், இது சிக்கலைத் தீர்ப்பதில் படைப்பாற்றல் மற்றும் புதுமையின் முக்கியத்துவத்தைப் பற்றிய விழிப்புணர்வை ஏற்படுத்துகிறது. உலக படைப்பாற்றல் மற்றும் புதுமை நாள் மக்களுக்கு பழைய பிரச்சினைகளை புதிய வழிகளில் தீர்க்க முயற்சிக்கவும், அவர்களின் குறிக்கோள்களை நிறைவேற்ற சிறந்த மற்றும் பயனுள்ள வழிமுறைகளைக் கண்டறியும் திறனையும் வழங்குகிறது!

உலக படைப்பாற்றல் மற்றும் கண்டுபிடிப்பு நாள் (WCID) 25 மே 2001 அன்று கனடாவின் டொராண்டோவில் நிறுவப்பட்டது. அந்த தினத்திற்கான நிறுவனர் கனேடிய மார்சி செகல் ஆவார், இவர் 1977 ஆம் ஆண்டில் படைப்பாற்றல் தொடர்பான சர்வதேச ஆய்வுகளுக்கான மையத்தில் படைப்பாற்றலைப் படித்து வந்தார். ‘கனடாவில் படைப்பாற்றல் நெருக்கடி’ என்ற தலைப்பு தேசிய இடுகையில் தோன்றியபோது, ​​உலக படைப்பாற்றல் மற்றும் புதுமை தினத்தை உருவாக்க முடிவு செய்தார்.

2017 ஆம் ஆண்டில், ஏப்ரல் 21 ஆம் திகதி ஐ.நா.வினால் உலக படைப்பாற்றல் மற்றும் கண்டுபிடிப்பு தினம் அதிகாரப்பூர்வமாக அங்கீகரிக்கப்பட்டது. ஐக்கிய நாடுகள் சபையின் ஆதரவுடன், உலக படைப்பாற்றல் மற்றும் புதுமை நாள் ஒவ்வொரு நபருக்கும் வெவ்வேறு தீர்வுகள் மற்றும் அதிக ஒத்துழைப்புடன் ஒரு சிறந்த உலகில் வாழ்வது எப்படி இருக்கும் என்று கற்பனை செய்ய ஊக்குவிக்கிறது.

நாம் எப்படி இந்நாளைக் கொண்டாட முடியும்?

கொண்டாட இந்த யோசனைகளை முயற்சிக்கவும் அல்லது, உங்கள் சொந்த ஆக்கபூர்வமான யோசனைகளைக் கொண்டு வாருங்கள்!

• உலகை வித்தியாசமாக பாருங்கள்
• வெவ்வேறு நபர்களை சந்திக்கவும்
• புதுமையான யோசனைகளைப் பகிரவும்
• ஒரு புதிய கலாச்சாரத்தைப் பார்வையிடவும்

படைப்பாற்றல் மற்றும் புதுமை தொழில் மற்றும் வாழ்க்கையின் ஒவ்வொரு நடைப்பயணத்திலும் பயனளிக்கும். வாடிக்கையாளர் சேவையில் இருப்பவர்கள் தங்கள் வாடிக்கையாளர்களின் அனுபவங்களை மேம்படுத்துவதற்கான வழிகளைக் கண்டுபிடிப்பதில் இருந்து விஞ்ஞானிகள் வரை ஒவ்வொரு வேலைநாளும் உலகைப் பற்றிய புதிய விஷயங்களைக் கற்றுக்கொள்வதாலும் அதைப் பயன்படுத்துவதற்கான புதிய வழிகளைக் கண்டுபிடிப்பதாலும் நிரப்பப்படுகிறது.

அந்த படைப்பு மையத்தை திறக்க வேண்டிய நேரம் இது, மனதிற்குள் எவ்வளவு தூரம் புதைக்கப்பட்டிருந்தாலும் பரவாயில்லை. இந்த உலக படைப்பாற்றல் மற்றும் புதுமை தினத்தில் ஒரு கணம் எடுத்துக்கொள்வோம், எங்கள் வாழ்க்கையை ஒரு புதிய பாதையில் அமைக்க!
