Answer 1

Creativity is mostly narrowed down to work place, innovations or in art, whereas, it is neglected in everyday life. We use many new ideas, when our old ways of working fail, or when we are faced with a new set of problems. It could be dealing with our children, or with our dear ones that is in our relationship or finding ways to help our kids who is facing difficulty in studies, or finding out innovative to handle finances and expenses at home etc.

An example of creative solution that helped to address a major problem in life was that I could not accept opposite views from mine and people who contrasted my views. It created a lot of problem in me as I became angry and got stressed while handling the opposite views and opposing people. My friends, my parent counseled me but I couldn't get out this problem. Even seeked professional help, but couldn't get the desired effect. Then I started to read opposing views on newspaper on matters that didn't mattered me much, and began to find out what me made oppose those views, why I can't take those views, how the other person who had opposing idea take my views. Slowly I shifted or intensified the level of matters that is began considering for the issues that mattered me most. This creativity helped to accept the differences in life, and improved the quality of my life.
