My special ability


I was told to find my special ability, something I'm good at and proud of. I am creative. I can think of great ideas easily and I think it is something really special and useful.

It's really easy for me to create things when I have to, but at the same time you cannot force me to do it, because I won't. It’s not that I have something against you, it’s just… I can’t. I kind of have to be in a creative mood and sometimes, many times, I’m not in that mood. It’s easier for me to plan any school project or to create drafts about my special ability, for example, but being focused and in that creative mood is the key to get my ability to another level. The process of creative is really different every time, but I always find it interesting, due to my ability and my gift to do it.

There’s no such practice or anything to start being creative. There are some people who are more creative than other and that’s fine, but there’s something you can do to improve on it or to try to be creative. Get inspiration. Find it in movies, music, books… whatever. There must be something or someone who inspires you in some way to do normal things in life so there must also be something or someone that makes your creativity get out. It’s basically the most important part of the whole process and what makes you improve or train, to inspire yourself. Apart from that, nothing can really get you to let your ideas grow more than the action of getting inspired.

It’s obviously really helpful and useful to be creative. Nowadays, it seems like everything has been discovered and done but you have to be original and creative, or as some people say: re-invent yourself, to success in any projects you have in life. You see, I’m being creative now, it’s useful.

This is all about being creative. My ability is not one of those hobbies you get interested in and you can go practice it during the summer, but it’s still something really nice and special, and I’m really proud of it.
