Inspiring Creativity in Next Generation


Inspiring Creativity in Next Generation
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while."  Steve Jobs
As believed by late sir Steve jobs creativity is just connecting things if it’s just that then how will the youth be inspired to be creativity because connecting things requires persistence & this is what is missing in this generation they don’t have endurance to stay with one thing for long time. The question is how to keep them going with interest & passion as they do have passion but to reach to top in stipulated period of time in this process they lose out on creativity.


Creativity would be the key to success in coming decades when the developed markets have already been stagnant & are in crisis but is Indian youth in actual fact ready for this, do they have creativity or is the creativity fading with their high aspiration that want to achieve more in less time or is it the Indian culture & systems that suppress the creativity at very tender age.  Big challenges as this youth is competing with its global counterpart, so how the creativity would be nurtured or rather inspire the creativity in the next generation. If this generation has to be inspired then the most important aspect would be to build in constancy in them to make them calmer & to nurture the creativity in Indian youth right from the young age the below mentioned aspects can be taken into thought.

Today’s techno savvy generation has inspired their parents to be same the best part of parents today is they are flexible & adaptive to change & want to embrace the change, media, internet, have made the world global town so the parents are getting exposed to the trends in the world which has made them realized that world is far beyond the traditional education & the real success of child lies in to let him do what he is really passionate about which will nurture the creativity in him but long way to go as numbers of parents who  have embraced change is not many but the good part is its increasing & with spread of internet & media it will only grow .
Education in India needs to rework itself as per the global scenario where more emphasis is given on experimental learning, the seed of creativity are sown at very initial years of education when child starts going to school. The module of education is such where the child is intensely analyzed as where his interest lies in & then he is been mentored & encouraged to follow his passion which inculcates creativity in him. The education system should teach students how to think not what to think.
Child hood to education the creativity is not engorged further the corporate go on with it & the creativity is suppressed. Corporate India as left its mark on world as service industry but where is the innovation? It’s still with the developed countries the corporate there give employee the culture, time & support to think creative & innovate because innovation needs perseverance &is time-consuming so the corporate India needs to develop a culture of innovation motivation & most importantly a culture of forgiveness where an employee’s mistakes are forgiven & inspire him to be innovative. Thus the employees will explore the unexplored incubating the culture of creativity leading to bright & vivid career growth.
If we want be at par with the developed countries & in true sense want to be incredible India we need to inspire creativity in the next generation.
