Lazy, but not judgmental
I am taking a happiness course from (coursera.org) Presented by Laurie Santos, ‘The Science of Well-Being’
The homework suggest you try and use one of your top 5 strengths everyday. And they gave the following suggestion for creativity.
‘For example, you might write a blog post that is unique because it is entirely gibberish. That’s not going to be useful, so it would not be considered creative”
So, I am going to use my “Judgment.” And apply the VIA Institute on Characters definition. “Thinking things through and examining them from all sides; not jumping to conclusions, being able to change one’s mind in light of evidence, weighing all evidence fairly.”
A blog written all gibberish might be useful to someone who wants to blog, but is not confident. The run across said, ‘gibberish blog’ and think, if someone can publish a blog all in gibberish, maybe I can blog.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion. The author believes creativity has to benefit self or someone else to be valid.
I say, that’s gibberish. If you believe what you are doing adds value to you or someone else, don’t let a stranger be the one to validate your creativity.
Today I used my judgement and my creativity by blogging and creating a tastefully presented breakfast.
Blueberries, banana, pink pineapple and strawberries.
