CHANGE A PERSPECTIVE BY JIEPING SONG

I used to think that creativity is all about being different, but now I consider creativity as finding similarities and a mindset.

As an architecture student, I think that creativity is about making a space that is able to resonate with the inner voice of other people and to provide better service for human use in an unexpected way. But how? Wearing other shoes to find the similarities between myself and others.

As an adult, creativity is the mindset. When I’m in pain, I tell myself, “ if you have never been in pain, how do you know what happiness feels like.” Thinking this way makes me feel less unhappy. When I think that this is the worst thinking ever happened, I will tell myself, “ there are only Worse things going to happen in the future”, then I will feel what just happened is not a big deal. When the conversation falls into a dead scenario, making fun of yourself, humor can ease the intensity. Just like this picture, what will it look like and feel like if taken in a different frame?
