31、any Web logs, chat rooms and Web groups are devoted to the craze.

However, creativity is more than what is defined by the dictionary. It is an idea, a process, a thought, or a state of mind. One cannot learn to be
67、creative because creativity is natural and unique to each individual. People should know that creativity doesnt equal success. It equals the act of expressing. So, if at first the goal that is aimed for is not achieved, there is no need for worry or frustration.Creativity can, however, be released b
68、y discovery. Some people need encouragement to help release their creativity. There are quite a few ways to release it.One way to release creativity would be to look for what can inspire you. Looking at the world and admiring the differences in people and places help. Creativity can be drawn from th
69、eir beauty. A person can touch, taste, smell, hear, and see hundreds of different objects. Aromas from foods, textures of blankets, and sight of unusual objects can all give inspiration.Many people are too concerned with how things should look. The focus should be on how it actually looks in the raw
70、, to the human eye. Colors and shapes can be distorted(扭曲) by the mere fact that people want others to see it for what it is. Its more difficult for someone to let go of all that and just let their creativity flow, unblocked.Another way to get creativity flowing is to research what other artists hav
71、e done or are currently doing. Their cultures and biographies alone can be an inspiration. Examining their works can help some appreciate artistic expression. New techniques can even be drawn from their works.Some people are even inspired by everyday events, like reading the newspaper or watching th
72、e news. Some can take other peoples situations and describe how it makes them feel. That is a way to release creativity. Controversial issues, such as war or abortion, can inspire writings like poems. They can be used to express death, loss, or tragedy. General topics such as religion or politics ca
73、n branch off into many directions, sending creativity into overdrive.Creativity is not about reaching a goal or being a perfectionist. Its about being, feeling, and taking all that is inside and letting it out in one way or another. Creativity is not always expressed by paintings, drawings, or writi
74、ngs. Ones action is the main form to express creativity. Romance, for example, is a form of creativity. Love and emotion are inspired by one person for another. Taking something inside and then putting it back out into the world as another thing is the key of creativity. Knowing and loving someone s
75、o much that there is a need to express it is a very natural form of creativity.Another form of expressing creativity is talking. Some people are more blessed in this area than in more obvious ones, such as painting or drawing. They paint a “word picture”. Speeches can be centered around new ideas an
76、d thoughts. It can contain all of ones being and transform it into either simple or complicated words.Inspiration is vital to creativity. Even if its only a slight feeling or thought that inspires. Creativity can be released each time attempts are made to use the body as an outlet. Remember that cre

82、 Back to RealityAs is shown in the picture, a woman is sitting in front of the computer and trying to add more friends to her facebook. Just outside the door, some people are eagerly watching her, hoping to make friends with her.This picture reminds me of many young people who are computer addicts.
83、They lose themselves in the virtual world and if it continues, they will eventually be cut off from reality. There is no doubt that the virtual world can be exciting, but thats not the reason for us to go too far. Too much time and energy devoted to the Internet can lead to a disaster, mentally and physically. The real world that we live in is what counts.As for myself, Ill devote myself to worthwhile things in real life, from making friends to my studies. Only in this way can I make my life full and valuable.
