Being Creative Person and a Creative Teacher

In this essay, I will review being a creative person and a creative teacher. We all know

that to be creative teachers we must also be creative people. Besides, not everyone is creative

because of talent but they also have to think about how to be creative. In this book, there are

many ways that allow a person to become a creative person. So there are the words of Rudolf

Steiner, “You will not be a good teacher if you only focus on what you do and not on who you

are.” That means, if you feel a little weird, just remember that you're doing it alone, so no one

will notice you. So the first thing we can do is make room for ourselves. We take the time to do

something, what is meant is that we have to be able to explore something. The second is what

we can try by exploring. Trying to learn new things. Many things make us more creative, but

trying new things will add to our ideas. Examples that are widely used are drawing or painting,

writing, learning musical instruments, and others. The third is to calm the mind by simply sitting

and meditating. As we know stress can reduce our level of creativity, because our minds are not

calm when we think about something. Another thing we can do is take a walk, fish or read a

book quietly.
