Create something new!

     I always wondered what makes Humans creative. Is it brought up? Is it the in-born talent? Even if we are not born to be creative, is it a skill that can be learned? Yes, it can be learned. In fact, any skill can be learned, if we have the dedication. But the question is how?     First I would say, 'Stop thinking'.

Kids today can learn what an adult learns. To the extent that there are opportunities to even open your own company. I kind of like what life is throwing up to them.      If you look at it from another perspective, probably it is quiet easy to feel lost in the midst of options available as a kid today.
