Day 17 - Create something

A very smart man once said; "Creativity is more important than knowledge." Albert Einstein knew the importance of imagination, inventiveness, artistry, and inspiration.

The dictionary defines creativity as "the use of the imagination or original ideas", and that is your challenge today. I want you to channel your inner creative spirit and create something. And no,  I will not give you guidelines or even examples, because that would restrict your creativity. Your instructions are simple: create something.

Why should you? Because nothing in this world will change unless we think creatively. Unless we think outside the box, we will stay in this current world order of inequality and hardship. Unless we choose the path less travelled, we will never know anything more than mediocracy.

"Problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them." - Albert Einstein

My one piece of advise for today's challenge is that you must not be afraid of making mistakes. The reason people resist creativity is because they don't want to get it wrong. It's okay to get it wrong, as long as you learn as you take the next step. Thomas Edison, inventor of the light bulb, said; "I have not failed 10,000 times. I have successfully found 10,000 ways that will not work."

I wish you success on Day 17's challenge!
