Is Technology Killing Creativity?
It is impossible for technology to kill creativity. Creativity always precedes technology. The notion that technology can kill creativity is like worrying that a tree can kill the sun. Creativity is the force that drives technology.
What is creativity?
Common definition: the ability to produce something new through imaginative skill, whether a new solution to a problem, a new method or device, or a new artistic object or form. The term generally refers to a richness of ideas and originality of thinking. If you can't digest all that easily, don't worry. I couldn't either. There are many definitions of creativity and they are all complex and wordy but I think Einstein said it best. "Creativity is seeing what everyone else has seen, and thinking what no one else has thought." That's creativity in a nutshell. (Einstein, quoted in Creativity, Design, and Business Performance.)
Perceptions of the creative type
The term creative, when applied to a human usually provokes the image of the artistic type: the writer, the musician, and the painter among others. And conversely, it is often assumed that the engineer, businessman, or scientist is not creative, but it can be quite the opposite. In my observation, it is more often than not the successful person who is creative, not a particular type of person. When looking at the definition of creativity you can see that creativity is not the ability to draw well or have long hair, but the ability to produce something new whether it be a song or a better business model or a safer car. All of these advances come from creative minds.
Creativity is the ability to solve problems in a unique way and is not limited to the arts. The fine arts are more about self-expression and not necessarily problem-solving. In any case, creativity in expression and problem solving has been greatly enhanced and unleashed by technology.
Creativity always precedes technology
When man first observed that a sharp stick could kill an animal or be used to pick his teeth he was making that leap from observing to being creative. Someone had to have the idea of using a log as a roller before they actually used it that way. Then came the Roller 2.0 or Wheel 1.0 depending on who you ask. The point is that the wheel didn't stop creativity, creativity gave us the wooden wheel, then the wagon wheel, then the bicycle tire, then the car tire...
Apparent loss of Creativity
You may hear people lamenting the loss of creativity, but that is only a perceived loss of creativity. People love citing the abundance of bad books, unoriginal art, crappy videos, and terrible songs found on the Internet but they are wrong. There are more people expressing creativity today than ever before in history. Don't confuse quantity and creative expression with quality. Furthermore, while it may appear that the quality of creative output has suffered a serious decline, it hasn't. There are just so many people expressing themselves creatively, and we have access to it all, so it seems that there is nothing out there but a mountain of crap. In my experience, there is significantly more quality creative output available than ever before.
Creativity needs inspiration
We have a lot of that available now. 24 hours a day we can find inspiration in the form of books, blogs, images, movies, music, art, photographs, you name it. Inspiration is very important to creativity and despite the wealth of electronic inspiration available, this is one area where I can see the danger of creativity being stunted by technology.
Hands-on experience is vital to creativity. You can't adequately describe a pounding jungle rain, or the feeling of walking past an abandoned house alone at night, or the smell of a bathroom at a gas station unless you've experienced them. There are so many smells, feelings, sensations, etc. which make you a much better creator that you just can't get from sitting in front of a screen. The fuel of artistic creativity is inspiration and the ingredients for inspiration are knowledge and experience. We have a vast amount of knowledge at our fingertips. We just have to make sure we have plenty of real-life experience. The loss of inspiration can diminish creativity but that is a case of technology distracting us from tactile sources of inspiration, not replacing or destroying creativity.
Will technology replace the artist?
Technology will not replace the artist (at least not in the near future) or creative types; it in fact requires more of us. A programmer can write more complex and refined code that will do many mundane functions, even mimicking creativity, but that ability to mimic is nothing more than coded instructions and there is a limit to what they can do. Real human creativity can make leaps and jumps and associations that a program can't.
For example, there are applications that can take a photo and make it look like a hand-sketched portrait, and they can look very, very convincing. These programs are prime examples of technology and its limits. No matter how good the program, there are still many decisions that a human will make differently, whereas the computer plows on through carrying out all of its instructions in the same exact way each time. What's being coded is a mechanical process, not creativity. In the case of the sketch programs, an artist sat with a programmer and they studied pictures together. The artist explained to the programmer that given certain aspects and elements of an image he would sketch or draw them in a certain way. He might explain hundreds of variables and how they apply to shadow and light. The programmer then wrote the code that will analyze lights and darks, contrast, colors, and even focus and density of detail. But when a series of images are fed through it the program will approach the task the exact same way each time whereas an artist will always do something different. They might be in a good or bad mood that day, maybe biased towards eyes and not lips, or have trouble drawing nostrils, or the picture evokes a certain reaction, not to mention the training and personal background of the artist. All contribute to the uniqueness of the piece.
Creativity is being accelerated by technology, not stifled
Photoshop and Word are both pieces of software that make creating vastly easier and quicker, and feature tools that can do some of the mechanical work for us, but they don't replace creativity. Just as Leonardo Da Vinci used the best tools and techniques of his day, artists having progressed past rubbing dirt and ash on cave walls, are also moving past paints and brushes and using tablets and touch screens. Technology changes, creativity doesn't.
We are losing the arts
There is something very substantial feeling about an old oil painting or antique book and I mourn their diminishment in the modern world. But those are losses of technology and not creativity.
We are evolving our processes. I hate to see the darkroom go the way of the telephone booth. I remember working in a dark room and I loved the atmosphere, but that is all personal and sentimental. Besides, there will always be diehard traditionalists that will keep the old ways alive, just as there are still those who like to handcraft wood, leather, and participate in other archaic processes for the satisfaction of it and to keep the old ways alive. I am not saying it's a good thing that processes are dying off, quite the contrary. I think it is important for a myriad of reasons to keep old processes alive. But there are many benefits to the evolution of these processes.
The barrier of cost and accessibility have plummeted for almost any creative endeavor. Writing, art, music, photography, you name it and technology has made it cheap, even free, to express oneself.
I am not sure of the ecological impact, but all those chemicals used in the darkroom were often dumped down the drain. Books were hand-typed, and even when computers and email attachments were first coming out, publishers still expected a submitting author to print a manuscript and mail it to them. That took days and hundreds of dollars which is insane to even consider today. My last novel was read and edited by several people worldwide, even the cover was designed by an artist far away from where I live. I easily and relatively cheaply published a professional quality novel. The creative content, my expression of creativity, maybe up for debate, but all other aspects of the novel were done as well as, or even better than, any publisher could have done. This was not even dreamed of just a short time ago and I used no paper, shipping, ink, etc.
And it's not just barriers of cost and accessibility but audience. Recently if you were to get a book published you had to convince a publisher you had a huge audience. Now you can publish a book because you want to, or for a niche audience. How to Wash Your Llama might do well in certain circles.
So our tools make the job easier, but do they require less talent? No, and the reason there are so many lesser talented artists in circulation is because there is such a high demand for content. But that's great news for artists. Artists don't have to be the starving artist anymore. As an artist; whether you are a writer, artist, designer, musician, voice-over talent - you can work from anywhere in the world. You can sell your art online, get hired to do jobs, even leverage your success to create more success.
I am old enough to remember cameras that used film, televisions that were black and white, and phones that were attached to the wall, and worse still, phones could only be used as phones. And I remember what it took to attempt to get a book published. The people getting published weren't the best writers, they were the best at facing a mind-numbingly complex and boring job that could take years and would likely lead to nothing. And self-publishing was ridiculous. Even if you had the thousands of dollars it took to do even a small print run you hadn't even scratched the surface of getting a book marketed, distributed, and sold. Many would-be authors ended up with a garage full of books they couldn't give away.
Today companies like Create Space have removed virtually every barrier there ever was to writing and publishing a book except for one - the ability to actually write the book. It is infinitely faster and less expensive now to get a book beta read, edited, cover designed, and made available for the world to buy. In the quest to publish my own works, I've spoken with writers who have spent hundreds or even thousands marketing a book and generated almost no sales. I've also talked to several that just put the book out there and word of mouth and good reviews led to more and more sales.
One in particular has a tale similar to mine. He spent twenty years having the publishers and agents telling him, "No thanks."
They all had reasons not to publish him and most were contradictory to the other. Too long, too short, too many characters, or not enough characters. He started self-publishing about five years ago and has since quit his job and writes fulltime. People love his books, the very same books that all the "professionals" said would never make it. And the funny thing is, those same publishers have come back to him wanting the rights to publish his work. He said, "No."
Why would he sign away his rights and get a fraction of the book sales so a publisher could make money? With a good book, almost no marketing is required, but that of course is the exception, not the rule. But even an incredibly bad book can make money in this new world. In the publisher's defense, publishing a book was hugely expensive and they had to pick winners, books that would sell a large number of copies.
I have read a few really bad, crazy, or ridiculous books and enjoyed them. Maybe laughing at them as they were so bad, but still, I paid and the author got some money. There are books that were written so intentionally ridiculous that maybe 400 people will ever read them, but those books would never have seen the light of day previously and never, ever have made a penny. But one terribly silly book today can be enjoyed by a few hundred people and net the author a few dollars. In addition, the world has a small, very unique book available to it that otherwise, it wouldn't have.
We are in a Renaissance unlike anything since the 1700s. Much of what we love was birthed in the creative Renaissance: the novel, female writers, etc. Software, computers, technology itself, are tools and creative people always use tools, well, more creatively. If a piece of software is released that does a supposedly creative task and suddenly everyone can do that task, the creative and talented person is going to use that tool more effectively and to a better end than most others.
I came up with the idea for my most successful book because I realized that traditionally trained artists weren't using the full power of available technology and self-taught artists who learned on the computer lacked basic art skills. You need both to truly excel.
The more creative we are, the more technology progresses which in turn allows us to be more creative.
Technology is removing barriers to creativity, not replacing it.

Mindset Management - Winners Understand the Power of Perception - Do You?
Would you like to discover why the intellectual factor of perception is critical to success?
Successful people in all walks of life understand how important perception is in everything they do. People who consistently fail never seem to realize that the way they perceive the world around them has a significant impact on their lives. What they think about, what they feel and ultimately the actions they take or do not take are based on perception. Are you someone who is optimistic and sees the glass half full or someone who is pessimistic and always seems to find fault with everything around you?
What Is Perception?
Perception is one of our intellectual factors that govern how we view the world. Based on our perception of the world around us can we make decisions about where we want to go and who we want to be. Doesn't it seem logical that if the perception is the beginning of thought formulation than it deserves some attention?
How can I use the intellectual factor of perception?
You were born perfect. Your intellectual factor of perception when you were a baby was incredible. You used your five senses: sight, smell, taste, hearing, and touch to observe the world around you. As you matured you started to form beliefs that shaped your perceptions. For example, if a child went to the gas station with his father and noticed the price of gas was five dollars a gallon he would see this information, but not have a special belief associated with it. The father on the other hand might view this price of gas as a serious problem. Based on the father's frame of reference he might perceive that the price of gas directly relates to his disposable income. Is it a fact or is this a belief that the price of gas is a major contributor to someone's disposable income?
Another way to perceive the same situation is that the price of gas has gone up and therefore costs have gone up. Therefore I better get more creative to serve more people so I can earn more money to have an even better lifestyle.
Another interpretation might be gee the price of gas is going up maybe I should buy a call option on crude oil. You can either respond or react to the world around you. A response implies the act of thinking and looking for the good in the situation while simply reaction implies no thinking and often complaining.
How Do You Perceive Life?
Are you one of those individuals who always seems to find the positive side of any situation? Do you look for the good in people or do you pick apart all of their faults? Are you essentially a happy person or are you generally depressed? Perhaps somewhere in between? Do you think there is room for improvement to be happier and more in control of your emotions? All of these questions have one thing in common - your perceptions cloud everything around you.
Make up your mind to change the way you perceive things for a happier and healthier life.
I believe you're reading this article because you really do want to be happier, healthier, and wealthier. These are the basic factors that we can consider in terms of getting really great results in life. If this is you, and if you are serious, I challenge you to become hyperaware of how you perceive everything around you. Stop complaining to people and to yourself when things do not go well. Have the strength to be able to keep a positive mental attitude during difficult times and look for the good in a bad situation. Ask yourself what is the alternative? If you have a bad situation on your hands and you look for what's bad about the situation how can this lead to any good? Unless you're one of those strange people who enjoy wallowing in misery this is not a recipe for a successful life.
The intellectual factor of perception is a very important ingredient to building awareness and knowledge. Successful people understand this and choose to be very cognizant of how they perceive things. I encourage you to be optimistic and to realize that there are many ways to look at a situation. What looks to you to be an obvious solution from another angle might appear completely different. Focus at looking at issues from multiple vantage points and I guarantee you'll get better results.
When you change your thoughts, actions, and habits your whole life and business will change. To move you through this process, I regularly share ideas and strategies that you can implement today. One aspect of success is your career and business. Individuals who have joined early-stage companies or decided to start their own company have created the majority of financial wealth.

Motivational Tips for the Morning
Good Morning - Motivation in the Morning! - Get up and get going this morning because success is not free and it takes some work. Shake off the sleep, get some coffee, tea, or juice, and read this carefully.
Quote of the Day - "Success woke me up, Motivation made me breakfast, Destiny gave me my agenda and the Lord gave me his blessings." - Unknown
Motivation in the morning isn't easy, at least it isn't easy for me. When I first get up my mind is all over the place and the last thing I want to hear is something positive.
Honestly, the first thing I want in the morning is a toilet. The second thing I want is a cup of coffee. The third thing I want is another cup of coffee. After about two cups of coffee, I am ready to adjust my attitude. My suggestion is don't talk to me until I have finished the first cup of coffee. Even then you better talk slow and low.
Unknown Quote: Every morning I long to hold you, I need you, I want you, I love your warmth... your smell, your taste... Ohhh coffee I love you. Good Morning!
I wish I could claim the quote above but I can't. However, I can sure identify with the person who did say the quote. Is caffeine an addiction? Of course, it is but I can live with this addiction.
After the coffee has done its job I am ready to start my motivation in the morning. Ok, let's get this show on the road. I am a winner. I can accomplish my goals and leap tall buildings in a single bound. I am super Bob on a mission to change the world.
Seriously, I need morning motivation and I need to stay motivated all day long. The way I accomplish is goal is through telling myself the truth, positive declarations, and scripture meditation. I use all three of these techniques to get my attitude right.
If something negative pops into my mind I review the thought to make sure it is true. If I begin to tell myself I can't accomplish my goals I quickly rearrange the thought into something positive. I can accomplish my goals. I have accomplished my goals in the past and I can do it today.
If I tell myself something negative about myself I can also claim the truth by declaring that I am an awesome spiritual being made in the image of God.
I can't just let my thoughts stay negative. I have to listen to what I tell myself. I have to argue against the lies and replace them with the truth.
If I do this on a repetitive basis I will have a great day.
Ok, let's get this day started and God bless you.
Dr. Bob Wilkerson is one of the most amazing men of the 21st Century. He has survived addiction, heart surgery, and hurricane Katrina. Of course I, Bob Wilkerson, happen to be writing my own bio.

11 Traits of High Achievers
Everyone wants to be a success! But the fact is that only a few ever make it to the ranks of being really successful. It is true that all of us have different definitions of success, but only a few have achieved or come close to realizing their dreams.
What makes high achievers tick?
High achievers and successful people seem to have a long string of hits with the occasional misses, but by and large, they seem to lead charmed lives. True, these individuals work very hard, but so do a lot of other people. What differentiates them from the rest? What makes them tick?
After spending over 20 years reading many autobiographies and studying the lives of very successful people, and breaking down their essence of thoughts, I find that they all share pretty similar traits, and set of values. True, many have certain idiosyncrasies, but their success can be attributed to a similar mindset - a set of philosophies and principals. It is interesting to note that this mindset can also be replicated.
Some of these shared traits are intuitively obvious and expected, but research also throws up some unexpected findings.
The expected traits of high achievers are as follows.
- Steel-like determination
High achievers and very successful people display an uncommon ability to try very very hard for what they believe in. What many see of these folks are the results of many years of not just pure hard work. Many do not see the ugly side of what they went through to get to where they are today. The media has made them darlings and the envy of many. However, what many people do not see is that they literally had to pay for their initial success with their blood, tears, and sweat. High achievers see hard work as a given, and their work ethic can seem intimidating to others.
- Extra-ordinary drive
High achievers have boundless energy. They have a hundred and one things to do and they still manage to keep on top of all the various activities going on at the same time. They are very disciplined and organized in their own sort of way. They keep tabs on what needs to be done and are often religious in following up on the significant things that may impact their overall plan. They tend to keep themselves in peak form most of the time and strive for greater things.
- Very competitive
High achievers hate losing! They want to out-sell, out-perform, and out-maneuver their competitors. Many of their colleagues and subordinates find it difficult to keep up with them as they can be very demanding on work performance. High achievers are not only competitive in business but invariably also in the sports they participate in, whether it is in golf, tennis, triathlon, etc.
- Street Intelligence
Many high achievers may not possess high IQ, but they are intelligent in their own ways. They are able to find profitable niches in the myriad of business opportunities out in the world today. Often, they are able to find gems where others see mud. They are innovative and able to think out of the box so as to create something out of nothing.
- Integrity
Invariably, the most successful people usually believe in honesty in their business dealings, and emphasize integrity in their daily lives. They are sometimes troubled by the many tough decisions that they have to take but are guided by their conscience. Many times, they operate in environments that are difficult to differentiate between right and wrong. Some of them run very successful businesses in corrupt regimes. They know that there is no such thing as black and white in business. If they are whiter than white, their businesses will not be able to survive. They often have to trade-off; however, they are very clear that they will not execute ventures that totally compromise their inner values.
- People-Oriented
High achievers and very successful people have strong social skills and are able to relate to the different segments of the people that they encounter every day. They are usually excellent communicators with an uncanny ability to sell ideas, products, and concepts to their partners, customers, and other colleagues. In fact, it is such strong leadership and charisma that enables them to thrive throughout their careers. They are yet still humble and willing to having more talented people help them run their business. They are also willing to learn and be coached by more successful individuals, always seeking to learn from the best.
Some rather surprising discoveries
On the other hand, some of the following traits are not so obvious and quite unexpected
- Focus on Chosen career/ field
Most high achievers and the very successful do not make their money off speculative investments. Many people think their fortunes are found in real estate deals and the stock market, but this is far from the truth. True, there are property billionaires and great investors, but their success is mainly derived from cold hard analysis and relentless execution rather than a lucky toss of the coin and speculation.
Most high achievers are strong believers in their core business or expertise and excel in their chosen field. They are invariably passionate people focused on their chosen field. They may be very busy and tired at times, but you can always see the sparkle in their eyes. They all have a vision for what they want in life and devote most of their time towards that vision. They know that the money will eventually come when they follow this strategy.
- Trusting, sometimes too much
All very successful people have been conned before and been cheated on at some point of their lives. In fact, quite a few of them are willing to share the not so illustrious aspects of their careers. Bad joint venture partners, loans that went unpaid, bad investments due to mismanagement, and many other countless 'unfortunate' encounters.
It seems unlikely that such brilliant business people can be fooled, but such is the reality, and they invariably learn from painful real-life experiences. They can be too trusting at times, especially in the initial phase of their careers, but soon learn to discern the good from the bad in dealing with people and situations.
- Courage
They are brave souls who are willing to take risks. Such moral courage to make a difference in their lives has served them well. They dare to stake a portion of their net worth, time, and energy to realize their vision and gut feel. They realize that things do not happen by chance and one has to push the boundaries in order to succeed. The outside world thinks that whatever they touch will turn to gold, but that is far from the truth. They do make mistakes and apply a whole new total mentality when things are not going well.
They try to make things right by making apt changes and if things are still not right, they rationalize and see if the opportunity is real. In other words, they do not let pride get the better of them. They will withdraw and fight another day if the racehorse they are betting on turns out to be a donkey.
- Are not Spendthrifts
Most high achievers and very successful people can certainly lead a far more extravagant lifestyle but have chosen not to. They can afford far bigger cars than what their income indicates, but they do not splurge. This does not mean they are scrooges. They do appreciate the finer things in life, but they strike a balance in their lifestyle and are unwilling to overpay for things.
- Create their own luck
They have a positive mindset. They think about success and not a failure and look upon occasional failures as temporary setbacks. They deal with it.
Note that they are able to do so, as they do not bet the house away. Sure they take risks, however, they always do their sums and calculate the extent of the downside. Such risk management enables them to thrive. There is an old saying "There are old soldiers and there are brave soldiers, but old and brave soldiers are a rather rare sight."
This statement perhaps sums the need for risk management in their thinking process. Even more important is the fact that they believe their fate is in their own hands. The harder they work, the luckier they become.
Above everything else, they are leaders in their fields.
I take a keen interest in personal development and helping people make the most out of life. I believe in life-long learning and self-improvement to keep being relevant, meaningful, and contributing to society. I have spent many years studying the traits and values of successful people and applying this in my job as a successful fund manager and in my personal life.

The Optimal Attitude For A Leader: 5 Keys
With all the necessities, and responsibilities, for effective, meaningful leadership, it's somewhat amazing, we ever locate individuals, with what it takes, to become a true, quality leader. Although, we often discuss, and consider, the many, various, skills, etc, needed and necessary, until/ unless, the potential leader, has what it takes, to proceed, consistently, maintaining the proper, necessary, positive, can-do, attitude, how can he effectively, inspire, motivate, and be considered as, a relevant leader? With that in mind, this article will attempt to briefly examine, review and consider, 5 key elements, for proceeding with the optimal attitude, to be able to make a quality difference, and changes, for the better!
1. Truly positive, can - do, attitude: Many people claim to be positive, and to possess and maintain, the best attitude, needed for leaders, to succeed, and be effective! However, the reality is, you can't fake, your attitude, but rather, must make it your second nature, proceeding with positivity, while most of the rest of the pack, often revert to a degree of negativity! If you are perceived, as, being negative, it becomes challenging, to get others, to want to follow you! This may sound simple, and somewhat, easy, but, generally, takes extreme commitment, personal belief, and internal development!
2. Self - confidence: In my, over four decades, of involvement in nearly every aspect of leadership, from serving as a leader to training thousands of potential and/ or actual leaders, etc, I have learned, there is a fine - line, between self - confidence, which makes someone better, and more capable, and fooling oneself, into believing they are better than they actually are. When one possesses true self - confidence, he becomes more capable of making the best decisions, because he is able to make well-considered, timely decisions, while trusting his personal judgment and/ or wisdom!
3. Be best, one can be: The commitment to leading, must focus, on doing one's best, and striving to make a relevant, sustainable, change, for the better! Will you commit, to being, the best, you can be. regularly and consistently?
4. Don't settle for good - enough: Do you have the genuine pride, and self - image, where you believe, you deserve to be a leader? If so, you will never be willing to merely settle, for good - enough, but, rather, strive for your highest degree of personal excellence, and have the confidence, to believe, and perceive, you can achieve!
5. Seek to inspire/ motivate; make a quality difference: There's a huge, significant difference, between, merely making some changes, and being the type of individual, who inspires and motivates others, to follow, believe in you, and become more committed and involved!
True leaders realize they need to possess and maintain, the optimal attitude, to make others buy - into your visions, etc! Will you be ready, and up, to the task?
