      If you were asked to think of some creative professions, what kinds of jobs will you think of? If you are like most people, you would list profession such as art, writing and inventing. However creativity does not limit to these professions only. All of us have the ability to be creative. It doesn't matter if you were a business man or the electrician. Creativity is simply the ability to come up with new ways of looking at things. For example, if a plumber solves a problem in a unique way, the plumber can be considered creative. Likewise if someone who works in a mailroom discovers the innovative and more efficient way of sorting mail, he or she is creative. So, the next time someone asks you if you are creative think about the number of times that you have come up with fresh solutions for everyday problems, say, "Yes, I am."
