Creativity

Creativity is doing something in an interesting way or putting your talents into things that you promote in a way that doesn't make you bored. When we think about creativity, the common picture that comes to our mind is if your making a card or something, to make it in a creative way.But I realized recently that this art can be used to overcome your problems too when our teacher shared a story with us-

There was a boy named John, all his classmates used to like him very much. This was because if anyone criticized or yelled at him , he used to remain calm and peaceful. Nothing bothered him at all. He was also the favorite student of all his teachers. One day, his class teacher asked him " How do you remain so calm when someone hurts you?" So the boy told the teacher to come home that evening and he would tell the cause. As expected , the teacher arrived and rang the bell, the boy opened the door and took her to his room upstairs. When the teacher entered his room, she saw a whole wall covered with paper bits stuck to it. She was surprised at this wonderful sight and asked him how was this related to his behavior with everyone. He told her " Dear teacher, whenever someone hurts or rebukes me, I write on  a small bit of paper, my feelings about that person and stick it on my wall. Slowly, slowly it started turning into a beautiful collage and so whenever someone yelled at me, I was more than happy because it would add more beauty to my collage" When the teacher heard this, she was very well impressed by John's creative thought on how to remain peaceful even when some annoyed him. So the teacher started making her own collage and gave this tip to many more students.Thus this story shows that how with creativity, one can change his attitude towards others and be loved by all.

I was really moved by this story and thought, if not a collage on my wall, something else with creativity will surely do.
