Week 3: 26 September 2011 - 2 October 2011

Assalaamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh and hi to all visitors..

27 SEPTEMBER 2011


Our creative class started as usual with the cheerful face from our lecturer, En. Nasir. Before started his lecture,  he reminded us to activate our e-learning because it is very important during our learning process of this course. 


Then, he continued his lecture on Negative Attitudes last week:


2. It can't be done ; surrendering before the battle.


3. I can't do it, or there is nothing I can do; good mind with positive attitudes + some good problem solving skills will go far in solving the problems.


4. I'm not creative.Everyone is creative to some extent ; the problem that this creativity has been suppressed by education. All you need to do is to let it come back to the surface.You will soon discover that you are surprisingly creative.


5. That's childish; remember that sometimes people laugh when something is actually funny, but often they laugh when they lack the imagination to understand the situation.


6. What will people think? ; there is strong social pressure to conform and to be ordinary and not creative.




We also learned 3 Keys for Creative Inventor

1. Motivation
2. Commitment
3. Interest

P/S: Honestly, I have many criteria that listed in these negative attitudes, and I understood that I had to change it into positive manners. Insha Allah I will try my best to become positive from today.

En Nasir continued his lesson on negative attitudes that can block creativity..


7. I might fail.


We've done some personality quiz and I had earned 39..

FAILURE, let us view the failure in two views:

• negative; when a thing that have been planned is not successful.
• positive: steps to gain knowledge so that the things will not happen twice, learn from mistakes.

FEAR of FAILURE is the MAJOR OBSTACLE in order to be CREATIVE.

in short, creativity needs process.
