Creativity, Words, Artistry And You

Creativity, Words, Artistry and You


"One picture is worth a thousand words," said an ancient Chinese;
but it may take 10,000 words to validate it.”


More people are familiar with the David Gates and Bread lyrics:

If a pictures worth a 1,000 words
Then how can I paint you

Different words interpreting a similar ideal about dissimilar subjects. Hardin's was about more worldly dissertation. Gates and Bread were immortalizing the value of being in love.

The source
Inner creativity applied to the expression of thought. Each one molded their words to artfully express their feelings. I do it. You do it. All as an everyday part of living out our day. Being that this is a natural process, it proves something I've been saying for many years. Creativity is an innate part of the human experience. In other words you are the source.

What you need to know
While you can be taught a creative pursuit, only you can make it yours. Picasso went through adversely differing periods of artistic expression. Musicians who made their mark in one music genre crossover into others and create even more success. Rock balladeer Rod Stewart is a recent example that comes to mind. What you need to know is this is not exclusive to any person or form of artistry. Did you know that the crooner Frank Sinatra was also dabbled as a painter?

You are the point
You are a vessel for many types of creativity. You can actually pick and choose until you find your personal form of expression. Can you become a virtuoso or a star? How do you know your not already. Dabble, play, explore, whatever. Just don't forget to look within you and don't worry about the world at large. Afterall it's your expression, so take ownership.

The Internet Glut



The internet is “the worldwide go to media.” The variety of material runs the gambit from the terrifically composed to out right garbage. The plagism is rampant. I myself have articles written in english hanging on word for word on a Japanese blog pics included. The stupidity of it all was the company I wrote them form asked me to verify the original materials were mine. That's after posting them for up to three years. The tip off was the dope put his own publish date on them. Which should have been the first tip off for the company.

To infinity and beyond
As much as there is there is room for more. And there are endless possibilities yet to be explored. As much as there is there is room for more. There are ideas yet to be explored. Opportunities yet to be discovered. Yes there is an Internet glut. Unfortunately,much of it is unimaginative, rehash and yes useless. For instance many of the superstars of five years ago are gone by the wayside. Why, because they taught methods that couldn't withstand change. On top of that they were overused and beat to death. Those that remain are those that embraced change and applied it to their teachings. In fact through their diligence came up with new venues.

And beyond that even more
While we are no longer in the frontier days of the internet world, we are on the edge of an evolving technology. What are the possibilities? Well, that's were you come in. Apply your own touch with creativity and knowledge and you will uncover those possibilities. Explore, apply, try, fail, succeed, but don't ever given up. Thomas Edison claimed he experienced thousands of failures that lead him to thousands of successes.

Your Online Presence



Ok your online with a blog, website or whatever, the fact is you want to establish an online presence. The first question is if your in the early stages is “what exactly am I trying to say?” And if you've been at it a while “am I projecting what I aiming for?”
Laptop

What is your underlying message?
In the old days they would tell you to outline a mission statement. When you comprise your first original statement as you go through the process you keep refer back. As you go through the process you'll find you'll be changing it. Keep in mind even after you're established that statement will morph and change as your goals and purpose does.

Self re-evaluation
This should be a weekly task you perform. Why? You discover many things are going on. You may be wandering off course. Sometimes that's for the better and sometimes it for the worse. If your are changing in response to your customer or following base that's a good thing. Then it's time to tweak that old mission statement. If your getting off track because you're trying to be creative. Then, it's time to dial back and examine the how and why you're off course.

Never assume your know all about your niche
Always read up on your niche. Spend time in forums the share ideas about your field. Sure don't be afraid to be creative and try new things. You might just find your mission statement is out of step. This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to maintaining an online presence. As you grow in creativity and knowledge, so will your presence. So have faith, you are on the path to success.

The Fear Of Being Wrong

Blurred Lines



Technology has made this a much smaller and blended world. Old ways and new ways are intermingling bringing differing societies closer together. As immortal as time there will always exist a conflict of ideals at any given time and place. Some to be expected and some catch us totally of guard. It stands as a matter of course they will happen.

Generations and change
First of all every generation makes it's own contribution toward the evolution of all the differing societies. As the generations change hands so does their contribution toward the blurring of the lines. The lines that were once thought to bring delineation and uniqueness the separated opposing societies. It is also the same aspects that made each so special on to it's own.

A newness creates friction
The friction occurs not just between young and old. It happens between the factions who form their own interpretations of previously set ideals. The truth is the blurring of lines most likely were in effect long before they were noticed. It's a natural process of the ever evolving societies.

Co-existence
That's the bottom line of survival among people. With it comes the burden of respect for that which we don't believe in. You don't have to understand it all, but it helps. So does the giving of recognition of another to carry different beliefs and ways in going about life. And give in a little and say it's okay. I'm okay and your okay. You do the because you have to give with the expectation of the same in return. Then again it is a utopian ideal forging its way in a non-utopian world.
