The Profile of a Creative Person - 1
REACH FOR IDEAS
The creative person realizes that his mind is an
inexhaustible storehouse. It can provide anything he
earnestly wants in life. But in order to draw from this
storehouse, he must constantly augment its stock of
information, thoughts, and wisdom. He reaches out for
ideas. He respects the mind of others - gives credit to their
mental abilities. Everyone has ideas - they're free - and
many of them are excellent. By first listening to ideas and
then thinking them through before judging them, the
creative person avoids prejudice and close-mindedness.
This is the way he maintains a creative “climate” around
himself.
Ideas are like slippery fish. They seem to have a peculiar
knack of getting away from us. Because of this, the creative
person always has a pad and a pencil handy. When he gets
an idea, he writes it down. He knows that many people have
found their whole lives changed by a single great thought.
By capturing ideas immediately, he doesn't risk forgetting
them. [Note: a great way to save ideas easily is to

cell phone, and this allows you to record your idea
for later review and action.]
Having a sincere interest in people, our creative person
listens carefully when someone else is talking. He's
intensely observant, absorbing everything he sees and
hears. He behaves as if everyone he meets wears a sign that
reads, “My ideas and interest may offer the hidden key to
your next success.” Thus, he makes it a point always to talk
with other people's interest in mind. And it pays off in a
flood of new ideas and information that would otherwise be
lost to him forever.
Widening his circle of friends and broadening his base of
knowledge are two more very effective techniques of the
creative person.
ANTICIPATE ACHIEVEMENT
The creative person anticipates achievement. She expects to
win. And the above-average production engendered by this
kind of attitude affects those around her in a positive way.
She's a plus-factor for all who know her.

Your Life in 30 Seconds
The Profile of a Creative Person - 3
Problems are challenges to creative minds. Without
problems, there would be little reason to think at all. She
knows it's a waste of time merely to worry about problems,
so she wisely invests the same time and energy in solving
problems.
When the creative person gets an idea, she puts it through a
series of steps designed to improve it. She thinks in new
directions. She builds big ideas from little ones and new
ideas from old ones: associating ideas, combining them,
adapting, substituting, magnifying, minifying, rearranging
and reversing ideas.
BE CREATIVE FOR YOURSELF
Creative and productive people are not creative and
productive for the benefit of others. It's because they're
driven by the need to be creative and productive. They'd be
creative and productive if they lived on a deserted island
with no one benefiting or even aware of what they were
doing. They experience the joy of producing something.
That others benefit from it is fine, but only secondary.

This is a story of the painters who were before their time.
Renoir was laughed at and rejected not only by the public
but by his own fellow artists, yet he went right on painting.
Even Manet said to Monet, “Renoir has no talent at all. You
who are his friend should tell him kindly to give up
painting.”
A group of artists who were rejected by the establishment of
their time formed their own association in self-defense. Do
you know who was in that group? They were Degas, Pissaro,
Monet, Cezanne, and Renoir. Five of the greatest artists of
all time, all doing what they believed in, in the face of total
rejection.
Renoir, in his later life, suffered terribly from rheumatism,
especially in his hands. He lived in constant pain. And when
Matisse visited the aging painter, he saw that every stroke
was causing renewed pain, and he asked, “Why do you still
have to work? Why continue to torture yourself?” And then
Renoir answered, “The pain passes, but the pleasure, the
creation of beauty, remains.” One day when he was 78,
finally quite famous and successful, he remarked, “I'm still
making progress.” The next day he died.

The Profile of a Creative Person - 5
This is the mark of the creative person ... still making
progress, still learning, still producing as long as he or she
lives, despite pain or problems of all kinds. Not producing
for the joy or satisfaction of others, but because he must.
Because it brings pleasure and satisfaction.
