18 Things Highly Creative People Do Differently

18 Things Highly Creative People Do Differently | The Creative Commons | Scoop.it

Creativity works in mysterious and often paradoxical ways. Creative thinking is a stable, defining characteristic in some personalities, but it may also change based on situation and context. Inspiration and ideas often arise seemingly out of nowhere and then fail to show up when we most need them, and creative thinking requires complex cognition yet is completely distinct from the thinking process.

Carole Maurage's curator insight, March 12, 2014 3:37 AM

Créatifs ! Ne vous demandez plus pourquoi vous vous sentez différent. Un très bon article sur les comportements des personnes naturellement plus créatives.

From a tiny baby to the massive expanse of the Universe, spirals are all around us. They link us all – me to you, you to nature, and us to the greater Universe. Maybe that’s the intrigue – the symbol that joins humans, animals, plants, Earth, galaxies and beyond.
