The Pink Suit Jacket

In our creativity classes, we are taught that thinking outside the box should be the bare

minimum. We are taught that weird and obscure ideas should be the starting point;

however, the world says otherwise. Today, the world tells us to diminish our creative

spark. We are told to show up with a uniform resume and attire so we can fit into this

obsolete normality of living. This summer I worked that corporate 9-5 internship and

realized that the biggest creative obstacle you will overcome is thinking that weird is

wrong.

The world is full of individuals clothed in black and white suits so wear the pink suit

jacket and give the aberrant ideas.

When you realize that the world is putting out your creative flame, then you are free to

fuel your creativity with ideation gasoline.

Be the person who walks in and asks questions.

Be the person who has a colorful resume.

Be the person with the pink suit jacket in a world of black-and-white professionalism.
