Creating Creativity

Is it possible to create creativity? Is it possible

to develop the ability to see all in a different way?
This isn't any new idea, it is, however, a bit of a
different approach, learning creativity, versus,
having creativity inherently, is a different approach
to the subject of, creativity. If we believe that
leaders are born, then we resist the concept, if we
believe that leaders can be taught, then we begin
to open the portals of history to a picture with
brighter colors than we ever imagined.

Speaking with a friend the other day we were talking
about this writing, and the ideas that are going
into it, one of them, having to do with math,
and Algebra as a creative learning adventure,
brought forth the comment, "I could never learn
that..." Which brought forth the return, "wanna
bet?" Which brought forth, "math is not my
strong point, but I like creative art..." Somewhere
in this students past is a disconnect from
the realm of beauty in shape and form, and art;
that Algebra brings together perfectly. If
ever there were a person who should be really
spectacular at Algebra it should be this person
who likes creative arts, for it is there that
we see the ellipse, the hyperbola, the shapes
which Algebra equates for us so dramatically.

Many of the worlds leading experts on resources
are saying that we are nearing a point of limitations,
and that if we want to be able to exist beyond that,
we need to develop higher degrees of creativity?
That begs the question of how?  Apparently many
universities and colleges have gotten hold of
the idea as evidenced by their web presence to
that effect?
