Key means of fostering creativity:

.

1- The social, economic, and intellectual environment:

The home is the foundation for raising a child and teaching them the customs and traditions they should uphold. The school serves as a partner to the home in education and the preservation of good morals. Each

of them leaves its mark on the creative person’s character. Al-Khansa, the renowned Arab poet; Bilqis, the Queen of Sheba; Lady Zaynab, the heroine of Karbala; and (Indira Gandhi)

India’s prime minister at the time must have received a broad, enriching education grounded in ethics and knowledge to reach a position recorded in history and widely celebrated.

with reverence and respect.

Nor is economic background a prerequisite for talent and creativity; for some people, poverty has been a driving force behind their creativity.

.

2. Developing and training mental abilities and faculties:

.

–الإدراك: Understanding the relationships and dimensions between things and uncovering their secrets.

–Intelligence: The highest level of mental processes, including the ability to learn, think logically, and creatively find solutions and alternatives.

– Memory: They are the places where intellectual and emotional information is stored.

– Analysis: The ability to draw conclusions by studying ideas, events, and objects.

– الملاحظة: It does not rely solely on visual observations, but also uses supporting observation methods to predict, classify, compare, and evaluate.

– Sound logical thinking: It relies on organized connections and a logical progression of ideas, leading to appropriate conclusions.

.

3- Developing intellectual interests:

Such as a desire and inclination to explore (curiosity), to investigate, and to seek and uncover knowledge.

.

4- Making use of laws, rules, and principles:

This is to understand the systems that govern how things work. A creative person does not break the law, but does break away from conventional, rigid routines.

.

5. The Creative Environment:

Whether young or old, creative people need an atmosphere of encouragement, respect, appreciation, and love—qualities that motivate them to continue creating and enrich their work with new ideas.

Many talents and creative works have reached great heights thanks to encouragement, while many others have been extinguished before they could emerge because of malice, envy, and backwardness. Among the conditions that foster creativity…

…freedom is the most important. Creativity cannot grow in an atmosphere of tyranny, oppression, and dependency.

.

Is creativity learned or inherited?

Heredity plays a role in creativity, but learning plays a greater role in the lives of creative people. Now that you, as a reader, are familiar with the qualities of creativity, you need to learn about the qualities of creative people

to see which of them you already have and which other distinctive traits you need to develop.

They are as follows:

.

1. A creative person’s love of learning and reading:

Most creative people are bookworms. They read about everything, even topics outside their field. One example is the words of the creative writer Abbas Mahmoud al-Aqqad:

“I love books because one lifetime is not enough.”

.

2- The ability to think and reflect:

The ability to reflect is a blessing from God, and the ability to think about it is an even greater blessing. Creative minds may soar through imaginary realms—or perhaps even beyond the bounds of space—

but even as they reach upward, their feet remain firmly on the ground. Many apples fell before Newton discovered gravity, but no one paid them any attention.

Yet a single apple and a single thought from Newton gave us the law of *gravity*. Likewise, a single bath and a single thought from Archimedes, which prompted his cry,

“Eureka! I found it!” led to the discovery of the laws of displacement and density.

.

3- The ability to remember:

A creative person has an active, vivid memory. Whenever they need to recall something, it serves them well and does not let them down. For example:

The poet Abu al-Ala al-Ma'arri had exceptionally keen hearing despite being blind. On one occasion, he received a letter in Persian, even though he did not know

the foreign language. Someone had sent it to ask about a neighbor. He memorized it and faithfully delivered it to the neighbor when they returned.

.

4. Independence in thought and action:

A creative person does not accept anyone interfering in their affairs or forcing them to follow the conventional path. They have their own approach and are free to think for themselves

and cannot work under pressure. If they could, they would not be creative.

.

5- عشقة لعملة:

The history of creative people and experience has shown that those who focus their effort, thought, and energy on a task will excel at it. Consider the movements of an artist who loves their craft, and of a carpenter

who never received formal training in their trade but has been devoted to it since childhood. Their love for the craft lets them shape wood into whatever they want to make. And look at the Brazilian

footballer Pelé, who could reach the goalkeeper without losing the ball, even after dribbling past 10 players.

.

6-بصمه المبدع:

A creative person brings something new to every piece of work they share with the world. They don’t repeat themselves. This is the distinctive mark of true creativity, through which you can tell who created a

piece of work, even if you haven’t read the name on it.

.

7-التنظيم:

This doesn’t mean following a monotonous timetable. As we know, creative people don’t like restrictions or following conventional paths. Rather, we mean that they plan everything carefully.

This gives their creative work a sense of completeness and excellence.

.

8-الشجاعه:

Most creative people have faced difficulties with confidence and resilience, succeeding and becoming role models to follow. If creators feared what people might say or how they might criticize them, we would never have known...

مبدعاً واحداً.

.

9- المثابرة:

Creative work requires patience and persistence, along with a strong commitment to continual improvement. When you come across a creative work, don’t ask how much time and effort...

It took. Instead, say that this masterpiece was created by a great spirit.

.

10- الذكاء:

A creator’s intelligence is 20% inherited and 80% acquired through dedication to work, a particular way of thinking, the ability to anticipate and classify, and a determination to excel and succeed.

.

.

11. A fertile imagination:

Many creative works first came to their creators in daydreams. This is where creators differ from ordinary people: creators turn their dreams into reality, while others...

She is content to lose herself in dreams, like the milk seller who dreams about what she will buy with the money from selling her milk. When the milk spills, all her dreams spill with it.

.

12- الإنفتاح:

A creative person is humble, and that is the secret to their success. They have a cheerful spirit, welcome criticism, and learn from other people’s experiences.

.

So are we any less capable than they are of dreaming?!

Turn to your dreams to help you think, and leave the responsibility—or part of it—to your subconscious, which can think logically without emotional or rational influences.

Or real-world constraints—and perhaps you’ll become one of these outstanding creative people.
