Creativity Vs Fear and Children creativity vs Adults Creativity

It is the thought of the people today that Children are more creative than adults; but it is just observation of the people. And to some extent it is true. But we never even bother to think that why this is true. While looking at the children this analogy seem to be a bit understandable.

They don’t know results of what they are doing or they want to know it too. They live in fantasy world; their heroes are mother and father and their enemies are people who tease them (they can be their cousin, brother or uncle). They do whatever they want to do and they live in world just like cartoon and animated movies where nothing is impossible one can jump from sky and still smiling and one can fly in the air without wings. Just like that they do the things and they share whatever they have in their mind.

But when adult comes then they know the consequences. They know what will happen if this action will be taken. They come out of the world of fantasy. They know man can’t fly etc. So, they adopt the “Be very careful” approach.  And at that point they lack the creativity. Because, creativity is the thing that resides at place where there is no fear of failure or worries and at that point children take lead from adults.

“If you want to be a creative person then just do it no matter you pass or fail.”
