How’s it going everyone, it’s me again with another new
topic. This time I’m going to tell you my reflection about a video from www.ted.com with Julie Burstein as the speaker and it is about 4 lessons in creativity.
There are 4 people who can be said as successful persons as
examples. The first one is Mira Nair, an India people who was firstly inspired
to dedicate herself to theater from a folk theater in her country called Jatra.
And later, she became an award-winning filmmaker. The lesson that I get from
this person is we have to open ourselves to get experience. We have to embrace
experience as we will become more creative by learning from it.
The second person is Richard Ford. This person inspired me
so much that he could become a novelist who won the Pulitzer Prize even he is
having dyslexia, a disorder which can lead to bad comprehension in language and
reading. He said that some of powerful work comes out from the most difficult
parts of life. I learned from this man that our weakness will not stop our
destiny as we keep embracing challenges in our life.
Richard Serra, a great sculptor is the third person as the
example. He was firstly a painter but then he left paintings and becomes a
sculptor. I can learn that we have to push ourselves away from limitations.
Finally, the last person is a photographer named Joel
Meyerowitz. He had been in a building rubble that was caught on fire. At that
time, he felt that he had to take pictures, but suddenly a cop hit his shoulder
and told him that taking pictures is prohibited. However, he kept taking
pictures that it had to be recorded as history, in his mind. He said that
passionate optimism is important, as it forced him to take many pictures about
this place.
We live in the cycle of creation and destruction. We have to
be ready to let go of something, taking challenges, or even undergo bad
situations in life. That’s all of my reflection about this video.
