Novelty, Creativity, Innovation and Invention

For this class, it is deep, meaningful and bored but nevertheless important. Mr Mustaffa explaining to us the meaning of novelty, creativity, innovation and invention to us which, before this I kinda clueless of what the differences between those terms.

This class also told us that there is two type of creativity which is personal creativity and social and cultural accepted Creativity which is explained by Mihaly Csikzentmihalyi in his book. From this I understand that just because our personal creativity is not a ground breaking for current culture and society, it doesn't mean we should stop practicing our creativity. It is important for a person to have the feeling of achievement of something new to his/her in whatever aspect of their life and from that it will motivate that person to explore a little deeper than their previous achievement.

Near the end of the class, there this slide that explaining that creative people fall in 4 category , aesthetic organizer, Boundary Pushers, Inventors and Boundary breakers. At this point after self analyzing my abilities and way of thinking, I'm probably fall in boundary pushers as from previous experience, I need someone to come with ideas and from there I able to rapidly develop and expand those ideas. Naturally I never intended to stay as boundary pushers since from my perspective, creativity is a process to break free yourself from the old ways.
