You like to give way to your dreams and to construct something more interesting and useful from an uninteresting life.<\/p>\n<p>No, don&#039;t worry - I haven&#039;t read your blog or your thoughts. Believe me, I would really like to do that, but I don&#039;t even know what city you live in. <a href=\"#footnote-1-4399\" id=\"note-1-4399\" class=\"footnote-link\">1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It was easy to predict your creative tendencies. It just so happened that\u2026 <strong>Everyone loves to create.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And yes, even the songwriters of &quot;Olialia chickpeas&quot; do it sometimes. I just don&#039;t know if they prefer to become landscapes or dance ballet. But let&#039;s get back to the topic.<\/p>\n<p>People think that becoming a developer is something difficult and at least a little weird. Some even say that you are either a descendant of Picasso with amazing talents or you are not. There are no intermediate stops.<\/p>\n<p>In order to become <strong>who earns money for his creativity <\/strong>and <strong>changing our thinking <\/strong>As a developer, according to today&#039;s submissions, you must:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Quit your usual 8:00 - 17:00 job;<\/li>\n<li>Buy a loft-style apartment in the center of Vilnius or a small hut in the village of Naisii under a maple tree;<\/li>\n<li>Not having completed studies and, at least, nine grades;<\/li>\n<li>Buy three Moleskine notebooks, an Apple computer and an iPhone;<\/li>\n<li>It would also not be bad if a girlfriend or boyfriend left you;<\/li>\n<li>You could be gay from time to time;<\/li>\n<li>Others would say no to your dreams;<\/li>\n<li>And in addition, you would be a genius who has been building wooden nuclear reactors or steam-powered computers in your garage since childhood.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u2026What a nonsense. Good news:<\/p>\n<p>You don&#039;t need all that. <strong>You are already a creator. And at the same time - creative.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes you are. This moment. And if you try, it can determine changes in your future life.<\/p>\n<h2>Why am I convinced that you have a potential creative bomb inside you?<\/h2>\n<p>In a world where people are divided into athletic, entrepreneurial, creative and otherwise average, it is very easy to get it wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that person is creative, and that person is not at all. He can build a Mitsubishi empire, and he is far from it. Understand that if you are not one, then you are a mass.<\/p>\n<p>But the problem with this thinking is that <strong>all people, without exception, are creative.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No, I&#039;m not saying that everyone is capable of creating miracles <a href=\"#footnote-2-4399\" id=\"note-2-4399\" class=\"footnote-link\">2<\/a> and can become an author publishing books or a creator of a new branch of art. I&#039;m not a kindergarten teacher to promise you that.<\/p>\n<p>However\u2026<\/p>\n<h3>1) Creativity is part of our brain.<\/h3>\n<p>If you haven&#039;t lost half your head in the woods, <strong>you mean it\u00a0<\/strong>Some blame love for their creativity, others the fact that their parents sent them to art school when they were young.<\/p>\n<p>But surprisingly, these things have almost no effect on creativity.<\/p>\n<p>Because creativity is encoded in your brain. If you only have the front part of your head, where are you hiding <a title=\"Frontal lobe :: Wikipedia\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Frontal_lobe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lobus frontalis (frontal lobe)<\/a>\u00a0and a part at the temple with\u00a0<a title=\"Temporal lobe :: Wikipedia\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Temporal_lobe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">temporal lobe (temporal lobe)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16723\" src=\"https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/uzrasai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/10\/lobes-of-the-brain-smegenu-apsiausto-dalys.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"955\" height=\"508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/uzrasai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/10\/lobes-of-the-brain-smegenu-apsiausto-dalys.jpg 955w, https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/uzrasai\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/10\/lobes-of-the-brain-smegenu-apsiausto-dalys-768x409.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 955px) 100vw, 955px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Here&#039;s the short version of how it works:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Nice frontal <\/strong>rich in dopamine-sensitive neurons responsible for attention, short-term memory and planning;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lubus temporalis <\/strong>responsible for visual material, emotions, making sense;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Joined together <\/strong><strong>components<\/strong>provides not only creative thoughts, but also thoughts that can be practical. <a href=\"#footnote-3-4399\" id=\"note-3-4399\" class=\"footnote-link\">3<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Yes, creativity depends on even more factors, some of which are already known <a href=\"#footnote-4-4399\" id=\"note-4-4399\" class=\"footnote-link\">4<\/a>\u00a0and some don&#039;t. <a href=\"#footnote-5-4399\" id=\"note-5-4399\" class=\"footnote-link\">5<\/a> But everything is born in the calculator that we all have with us.<\/p>\n<h3>2) Expiry date for creativity: Don&#039;t look at the packaging.<\/h3>\n<p>There are those who believe that the powers of creativity decrease with age. However, this is not true. Don&#039;t think that if you are 50, 60 or 78 <a href=\"#footnote-6-4399\" id=\"note-6-4399\" class=\"footnote-link\">6<\/a> years, you should forget about creativity. <a href=\"#footnote-7-4399\" id=\"note-7-4399\" class=\"footnote-link\">7<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yes, children are especially creative. They create, are interested, experiment. And so until more or less ten years, after which the amount of creativity begins to decrease.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#039;s not because teenage hormones have stolen some of their creativity.<\/p>\n<p>This happens because that&#039;s when our industrial learning style kicks in more or less. School. Boredom. 8:00 - 14:00 every day in the same school, same schedule.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026Ugh.<\/p>\n<p>Creativity is an interesting beast. If you want new ideas, you must travel. <a href=\"#footnote-8-4399\" id=\"note-8-4399\" class=\"footnote-link\">8<\/a> consume new content, <a href=\"#footnote-9-4399\" id=\"note-9-4399\" class=\"footnote-link\">9<\/a> to meditate <a href=\"#footnote-10-4399\" id=\"note-10-4399\" class=\"footnote-link\">10<\/a> and dream. <a href=\"#footnote-11-4399\" id=\"note-11-4399\" class=\"footnote-link\">11<\/a><\/p>\n<p>As long as no artificial boundaries were placed on us, we were free to express our creativity. <strong>Creativity itself has not changed, but the ability of others to show. <\/strong><a href=\"#footnote-12-4399\" id=\"note-12-4399\" class=\"footnote-link\">12<\/a> We do not lose creativity.

No, it&#039;s not just beautifully written songs. It&#039;s not just what you thought. Every step of your life is based on your or someone else&#039;s creativity.<\/p>\n<p>Let me give you some examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Do you have a job? Or are you studying?\u00a0<\/strong>Do you think you would have gotten a job or come up with that way of checking correspondence WITHOUT creative thinking?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Are you reading these letters?\u00a0<\/strong>As you read them, <code>if<\/code> their <span style=\"font-family: fantasy;\">form<\/span> always <span style=\"font-family: cursive;\">different?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Do you remember?\u00a0<\/strong>Your memory is not photographic - it is a creative process. <a href=\"#footnote-13-4399\" id=\"note-13-4399\" class=\"footnote-link\">13<\/a><\/li>\n<li><b>Feel your tongue?\u00a0<\/b><a href=\"#footnote-14-4399\" id=\"note-14-4399\" class=\"footnote-link\">14<\/a> Once upon a time, the two gametes had to fuse somewhere inside your mother for you to be able to do this now.<\/li>\n<li><strong>do you live\u00a0<\/strong>I have no doubt that everything is not served directly to your mouth - you have to work, think, move...<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And so on.<\/p>\n<p>If you were a believer, you could say that God is creation.
