(2022·北京朝阳·高一期末)Read the post from Paul on the “Answers 4U” website.
Hello everyone,
I'm studying journalism in university. In the first term, everyone has to do a course called“Creative Thinking and Writing”. At first, I thought it wouldn't be a problem- -but now I'm really anxious because I'm not a creative person at all! I'm scared that I'm going to look stupid and I won't pass the course, or else I'll only get through it with great difficulty.
Can anyone help me? Some tips on being creative would be good.
Thanks a lot.
Paul

Hi Paul,
I read your post and can completely relate to it. I've been in exactly the same situation- I even did a journalism course, just like you. So here are my thoughts.
You say“I'm not a creative person”. Look- everyone's creative. If you tell yourself you're not creative, you'll easily start to believe it. So, the first thing to do is: stop thinking like that. People sometimes talk about“thinking outside the box”. Actually, the box is the way we've been brought up to see problems. A central difficulty in our ability to think outside the box is that we must always have a“right" answer, which limits creative thinking. So, try to stop seeing things as“right" or “wrong”.
Another problem is that we often find faults with our own ideas before we give them a chance to grow. While you' re thinking, just try to brainstorm ideas in an enjoyable way- then choose the best ideas later.
And don't worry about looking stupid. If you try an idea and other people laugh at your idea, that's their problem, not yours. Try to look at the course as a way to have fun. Work hard, don't hold yourself back, do everything with great interest, and you'll be fine.
Anyway, enough from me. I hope these ideas help.
Sarah
