The sixth myths about creativity:
Questions for Active Reading:


1. Describe the 6 myths.

· Money it’s a creative motivator: people it’s more creative when they care of what they’re doing, if they enjoy and like what they do, they would do it with love and getting something from it. And money it something that everybody likes and its suppose to do what they like to get some of it.

· Time pressure fuels creativity: sometimes when the person feels under too much pressure, the creativity gets stock and they can’t work in the way they wanted to. Sometimes to be creative we have to take time and relax even get enough sleep to concentrate because if we don’t have concentration we can create and be creative.

· Fear forces breakthroughs: when our soul its happy and satisfy our ideas are going in to our brain and sending happy signals that re going to help us to be creative and be happy, but if our body its feeling unsatisfied and incomplete sometimes it’s really hard to think in something new and better that the idea that we have before, so this means that creativity goes with your mood and they way your body its feeling.

· Competition beats collaboration: sometimes at work or even at school, it’s good to share ideas with others and do an amazing brain storms. But when the person realize that the ideas that he/she has are better and can get better proud of it he is going to stop sharing and its going to start taking as a selfish, but what they don’t know is that two brains work better that one.

· A streamlined Organization I s a Creative Organization: I didn’t really understand this one but I think is like if you don’t like to work with other leaders you get uncomfortable and your creativity its’ going to go down.

2. What was interesting about the research:

· What was really interesting about her research was that she was trying to look for all the different ways that people develop at work, the differences, the qualities the ideas and the most important think that she enfaces in is creativity. But everything it’s around work environment.

3. Who is the audience?

· I think is for everybody. But especially for the ones who have or had a job. Like that they can see and realize something that they may never think before, because me, personally I would never imagine that creativity its around my work environment.


Questions for Thinking Critically:

1. Business and Science

· What business and science have in common is that they always work together; every time something comes up they try to solve it. The difference between them is that science does not keep the ideas or nothing that they discover for themselves they always shares everything with the world and they tell everybody if it’s something new or not. But business is selfish and if they know that something is good and they know that no one else can come with something like that they will not share it if is not with the big boss.

2. My myth of creativity:

· Fear forces breakthroughs: this is the one that I identify the most because am the type of person that really changes of mood all the time, sometimes you can see me happy and in the other time you can see me with this really long face.
This is something that really affects my creativity because when am not feeling good my ideas get stock or maybe they kind of go out but they’re not as good as if I was in a good mood.

3. Strategies:

· Establish a creative environment: This is something really important when you’re trying to be creative because this has a base to take away and let go everything that is bothering you, and like the text says “You may need a private place to work without distractions. You have to find the environment best situated to your own creative process. “Another really important thing is the people that you’re with. You have to look for people that are really friendly and mind open like that they can give you fresh ideas and amazing opportunities to find something new and better that what you had before. So. Mr. Alan I think you ha establish pretty well what happen when you have really open mind which is full with creativity, but if at any time you find that place that you say you like uncomfortable just try to look for another one that it would probably make you feel better.
