Creativity

Creativity is key for an entrepreneur. If someone wants to start a business, it's hard to see him or her succeeding if he or she is not creative.

From Wikipedia,

Creativity is a mental process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts. An alternative conception of creativity is that it is simply the act of making something new.

No one know what creativity is for sure or why some people are creative others not, nor why creativity manifests itself the way it does.

How do you know if someone is creative? Two standards I would invoke are originality and fostering of social improvement. Mozart was creative. Einstein was creative. Newton was creative Ibsen was creative. Jonas Salk was creative. Edison was creative. Hitler was NOT creative. Ted Bundy was NOT creative. Joseph Stalin was NOT creative. Saddam Hussein was NOT creative.

If you're interested in the subject start with Wikipedia. Read the entire article and follow its references and links. From there, cyberspace is the limit.
