Creativity - Park

Frank Walker believes creativity prevails in everything you do; he chose his mom’s works as examples of how a challenge can be solved with different solutions. Creativity is simply one of the most essential keys to achieve your goals. He also believes being creative allows you to see things in different ways as it creates different visions and approaches, meaning there is always another solution to your problem if you are creative. I absolutely agree with Frank Walker because I've been a guitarist for several years and given the title as a musician, creativity is probably one of the most vital key strategies that differentiate my music to other musicians. Honestly speaking, all scales and chords are revealed and they have been used by millions of artists since the era of music ever started. But with creativity set in mind, a simple C chord can be played in so many different ways and  each way creates different feelings and fusions into it.

"I believe that happy children are those given the freedom to be expressive, to discover, to create their own “refrigerator door” masterpieces." This is one of my favorite quotes from his speech because it reflects my early childhood as well as my career as a musician. Nothing can compare to the freedom you have to do things the way you want to. Since I ever started playing guitar, I had been to many music schools and I thought they all made the same mistake of teaching music to children. Students had to learn and follow the teacher in their techniques, compositions and most importantly styles. Music is all about expressing yourself in the most creative ways and if you were to follow someone's styles of playing, the music you write will eventually be a part of somebody’s creativity not yours. Not just music but education in general, it tends to make us become less creative and lessens our visions of seeing things as we only seek for an approach to finding solutions rather than multiple approaches. 

Being creative does not only allow you to seek numerous solutions to your challenges spontaneously, it also impacts the dynamics of your approach to difficulties and improves quality of your decision-making.
