As Picasso once said, “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” 【小题1】 We might paint, write or play an instrument as kids. However, as adults, we find that responsibilities stand in the way of being creative. But is being creative really all that important?

【小题2】According to studies, being creative in any way can help fight against negative (消极) emotions. It helps build problem-solving skills and increases productivity and confidence.【小题3】

Next comes the really big question: how can you become more creative? Pull out a notebook or a piece of paper and just draw or paint, with no goal in mind. This gets all kinds of connections in the brain working. Or you can get some exercise. A study at Albion College actually discovered that a tired mind can be a more creative mind.【小题4】

One of the main obstacle (阻碍) to being creative is called “fear of failure”. In other words, some people think they won’t be good at writing, drawing, etc., so they just don’t try. How do you conquer this fear?【小题5】For example, you might think failure is painting a picture that you see as ugly. However, what if “failure” was actually not painting anything at all?

Criticism from others can be difficult to take, especially if the person delivering the criticism isn’t exactly subtle(含蓄的)about it. So how should we deal with it? 【小题1】

Try to separate the criticism from the environment in which it was given. 【小题2】 However, you should also try to calmly look at what’s being said and see if there are clues for your personal growth. Pretend the person isn’t talking about you, and try to read between the lines.

【小题3】 This is where you listen and say“okay, that makes sense, ”or“I can come up with a plan to do that. ”Remember, haters gonna hate, but even they sometimes hate for reasons worth considering. All you need to do is keep what’s applicable and ignore the rest.

Turn those useful opinions into goals. 【小题4】 If someone complains that your writing is too long, for example, set a to-do to remove the fat from your work. If your boss complains you always wait until the last minute to complete tasks, set your due-dates a day earlier than they’re really due, so you get to work sooner.

Adjust your attitude. You can do all of this and still get depressed when someone tells you how you can improve. Attitude is the key here. 【小题5】 It’s easier said than done, but knowing your strengths and being ready to hear and accept your weaknesses is the most powerful thing you can do.
