A stage in my life brought forth moment of imagination and thoughts whereas unknown but came to be deep thoughts and dreams gave insight of little wonder, big wonder, my heart open forth my mind and dreams of an endless journey which looks so uncertain with fears of failure and hardship and here came voices all over the four walls of my rooms echoing "You have failed! You have failed!! You have failed!!!". And swiftly, I look around my small room and the only thing that captured my attention was my reading table with heaps of books as I calculate my gradepoints because I was a graduating student.
I found out that I was still struggling to maintain upper credit not to talk of distinction which has always been my wish becuase my environment made me to understand that it is only when I graduate with distinction that I can have a good touch of happiness of my life. I began to cry, I cried and cried until I almost lost my breathe. I wish the hands of the clock would move backward to when I gained admission into the school in order for me to toil like the great souls with great zeal of accomplishment who pays no attention to the burning candles of the night in order to attain accademic excellence.
And again, another voice came in a voice just above a whisper and said, life is an endless struggle where only the strongest survive and the strongest of the strong rules. "You have not failed yet" the voice said. "You are on your way to greatness if only you can visualize your thoughts, imagination and dreams". And for you to visualize your thoughts, imaginations and dreams, you have to be creative. Think of an idea that does not exist and bring it into existence.
Creativity is using your imagination to produce new ideas that no one has ever produced. You must not be an artist, fashion designers or make-up artist to be creative. No matter the field you find yourself, add value to that environment. Don't waste your time beacuse no body might have that same dream as you have.
You don't need to have all the qualification in life before you can make an impact in the society and this brings to the fact which says "whatever you find yourself doing, give the best you can to it". A very good example is william Eugene smith, an american photojournalist who was known for his refusal to compromise professional standard. He began his career at the age of 18, he had a passion to be the best and not merely to be the best but to be recognised as the best. Not merely to be recognised but to be recognised over and over and over again.
The most influential person in Eugene's life was himself. He recorded human condition. No one could really succeed at such a job yet Eugene did with his creativity, recording human condition with his photographs. He created at least 50 images so powerful that they have altered the perception of photojournalism.
Creativity takes process to grow but when it has grown, it explores and dominate the world. Success takes a gradual process because success does not come at a platter of gold. And success can never replace failure over night. It takes a process and the process is for you to plan your life. It is never too late...there is always a new begining!!!
