8 Bad Habits that Crush Your Creativity and Stifle Your Success

“The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts the moment you get up and doesn’t stop until you get into the office.” — Robert Frost It’s a myth that only highly intelligent people are creative.    In fact, research shows that once you get beyond an I.Q. of about 120, which is just a little above average, intelligence and creativity are not at all related.      

That means that even if you’re no smarter than most people, you still have the potential to wield amazing creative powers.

So why are so few people highly creative?

Because there are bad habits people learn as they grow up which crush the creative pathways in the brain. And like all bad habits, they can be broken if you are willing to work at it.

Here are eight of the very worst bad habits that could be holding you back every day:

1. Creating and evaluating at the same time

You can’t drive a car in first gear and reverse at the same time. Likewise, you shouldn’t try to use different types of thinking simultaneously. You’ll strip your mental gears. Creating means generating new ideas, visualizing, looking ahead, considering the possibilities. Evaluating means analyzing and judging, picking apart ideas and sorting them into piles of good and bad, useful and useless. Most people evaluate too soon and too often, and therefore create less. In order to create more and better ideas, you must separate creation from evaluation, coming up with lots of ideas first, then judging their worth later.

2. The Expert Syndrome

This a big problem in any field where there are lots of gurus who tell you their secrets of success. It’s wise to listen, but unwise to follow without question. Some of the most successful people in the world did what others told them would never work. They knew something about their own idea that even the gurus didn’t know.    Every path to success is different.

3. Fear of failure

Most people remember baseball legend Babe Ruth as one of the great hitters of all time, with a career record of 714 home runs. However, he was also a master of the strike out. That’s because he always swung for home runs, not singles or doubles. Ruth either succeeded big or failed spectacularly.

No one wants to make mistakes or fail. But if you try too hard to avoid failure, you’ll also avoid success. It has been said that to increase your success rate, you should aim to make more mistakes. In other words, take more chances and you’ll succeed more often. Those few really great ideas you come up with will more than compensate for all the dumb mistakes you make.

4. Fear of ambiguity

Most people like things to make sense. Unfortunately, life is not neat and tidy. There are some things you’ll never understand and some problems you’ll never solve. I once had a client who sold a product by direct mail. His order form broke every rule in the book. But it worked better than any other order form he had ever tried.

Why? I don’t know.

What I do know is that most great creative ideas emerge from a swirl of chaos. You must develop a part of yourself that is comfortable with mess and confusion. You should become comfortable with things that work even when you don’t understand why.

5. Lack of confidence

A certain level of uncertainty accompanies every creative act. A small measure of self-doubt is healthy. However, you must have confidence in your abilities in order to create and carry out effective solutions to problems.      Much of this comes from experience, but confidence also comes from familiarity with how creativity works.    When you understand that ideas often seem crazy at first, that failure is just a learning experience, and that nothing is impossible, you are on your way to becoming more confident and more creative.    Instead of dividing the world into the possible and impossible, divide it into what you’ve tried and what you haven’t tried. There are a million pathways to success.

6. Discouragement from other people

Even if you have a wide-open mind and the ability to see what’s possible, most people around you will not. They will tell you in various and often subtle ways to conform, be sensible, and not rock the boat. Ignore them. The path to every victory is paved with predictions of failure. And once you have a big win under your belt, all the naysayers will shut their noise and see you for what you are — a creative force to be reckoned with.

7. Being overwhelmed by information

It’s called “analysis paralysis,” the condition of spending so much time thinking about a problem and cramming your brain with so much information that you lose the ability to act.    It’s been said that information is to the brain what food is to the body. True enough. But just as you can overeat, you can also over think.    Every successful person I’ve ever met has the ability to know when to stop collecting information and start taking action. Many subscribe to the “ready – fire – aim” philosophy of business success, knowing that acting on a good plan today is better than waiting for a perfect plan tomorrow.

8. Being trapped by false limits

Ask a writer for a great idea, and you’ll get a solution that involves words. Ask a designer for a great idea, and you’ll get a solution that involves visuals. Ask a blogger for a great idea, and you’ll get a solution that involves a blog.           

    We’re all a product of our experience. But the limitations we have are self-imposed. They are false limits. Only when you force yourself to look past what you know and feel comfortable with can you come up with the breakthrough ideas you’re looking for.

   Be open to anything. Step outside your comfort zone. Consider how those in unrelated areas do what they do. What seems impossible today may seem surprisingly doable tomorrow.   If you recognize some of these problems in yourself, don’t fret. In fact, rejoice! Knowing what’s holding you back is the first step toward breaking down the barriers of creativity.

The Legend !

Veturi Sundararama Murthy

Veturi Sundararama Murthy (Telugu: వేటూరి సుందరరామమూర్తి, 29 January 1936 – 22 May 2010), popularly known as Veturi.

Veturi was born at his mother's native place Kolluru, near Tenali of Guntur district in an orthodox Telugu Brahmin's family on 29 January 1936. His native place is Pedakallepalli near Mopidevi, in Diviseema of Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh (AP). Veturi is a nephew of the great Telugu pandit Veturi Prabhakara Sastri. His grandfather Veturi Sundara Sastry was a poet too.

Education

Veturi completed his schooling in Diviseema, Jaggayyapeta, near Vijayawada in Krishna district, and SSC in his grandmother's village. Later Veturi went to Madras (now called Chennai) for his intermediate studies and came back to Vijayawada where he completed his degree in S.R.R. Government College. He was a student of legendary Viswanatha Satyanarayana at this college.

Veturi cherishes his professional relationship with the national award winning Telugu film director, Dr.K.Viswanath and the renowned music composers K. V. Mahadevan & maestro Ilaiyaraaja.

Veturi is a relative of the late Veturi Prabhakhar Sastry, whose blood line runs throughout the world, in countries such as: India, USA, Britain, Australia, Canada, France, Italy, etc.

Veturi has a unique style, which no one could imitate. He has got amazing capabilities in language as well as imagination/creativity. His style is romantic with deep feelings. Sometimes, he prefers to swerve from his style to provide lip-sync for dubbing movies.

He is a master of the language. The language, he uses in lyrics, ranges from meaningless words to most meaningful words in life. Many a time, he pens phrases which have no apparent purpose; but they possess in-depth meaning. An example is: gasagasala kougilinta which translates to your hug is as intoxicating as the seeds on the poppy plant. He conveys the most unexplainable feelings in simple words. An example is: anagala raagamai toluta veenualalarinchi, analEni rAgamai maralA vinipinchi which translates to (the music of your flute) pleased my ears once, later it resounded in my heart as an unexpressible feeling.

His knowledge in classical telugu poetry is evident from the figures of speech (alankaaralu). Here are three verses from the same song: acceruvuna acceruvuna viccina kannulajUDa (They watched Lord Krishna in wonder dancing in the lake), aabaala gopaalam aabaalagobaaluni (everyone watched the Little Krishna), aaradha aaradhanaageeti palikiMci (Radha sang a devotional song). It can be observed that the same word is juxtaposed with different meanings (a figure of speech in Telugu, yamakam).

He uses a lot of classical objects in fresh similes. Objects like ponnacheTTu, tyAgarAjakIrtana (Tyagaraja's song), Rutuvulu (Seasons), Raagas have all been used extensively in his songs. One such song from SundaraakanDa uses all grammatical rules of Telugu in a romantic conversation between lovers (Ex: mattuga mallelu attaru chindE vELa champakamaalalu sompulakistaavaa). These songs stand as proofs of his knowledge in various subjects.

His imagination ranges from most creative similes like bhoodari lo neelambari, maa seemake cheenambari to most vulgar comparisons like muDideeste moopuram, paruvaala gopuram. Particularly when it comes to writing more serious lyrics like those of Shankarabharanam, his imagination prowess has been proved a number of times.

Veturi faced a lot of criticism that he includes a lot of vulgarity when it comes to mass films. Examples are: "puttintollu tarimesaru...", "muDi deeste moopuram, paruvaala gopuram" etc., Many people feel that Veturi has degraded the quality of Telugu lyrics as much as he added quality work to it. However, this was done by him yielding to the pressures of directors as he himself revealed on his birthday 10th February.

He got the National Film Award for Best Lyrics for his song in the film Matrudevobhava for the song "raalipoye puvva neeku raagalenduke". Many people feel that it has been a great injustice to such a veteran artist to give only one national award. He declared that he would return the national award if Telugu is not given the status of classic language by the Government of India.

Psychology: the science of the mind

Psychology is the science of the mind. The human mind is the most complex machine on Earth. It is the source of all thought and behaviour.

Human behaviour: the raw data of psychology

In a similar way, psychologists use human behaviour as a clue to the workings of the mind. Although we cannot observe the mind directly, everything we do, think, feel and say is determined by the functioning of the mind. So psychologists take human behaviour as the raw data for testing their theories about how the mind works.

Since the German psychologist Wilhelm Wundt (1832-1920) opened the first experimental psychology lab in Leipzig in 1879, we have learned an enormous amount about the relationship between brain, mind and behaviour.

Psychology and other disciplines

Psychology lies at the intersection of many other different disciplines, including biology, medicine, linguistics, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, and artificial intelligence (AI).

For example, neuropsychology is allied with biology, since the aim is to map different areas of the brain and explain how each underpins different brain functions like memory or language. Other branches of psychology are more closely connected with medicine. Health psychologists help people manage disease and pain. Similarly, clinical psychologists help alleviate the suffering caused by mental disorders.

Branches of psychology

Any attempt to explain why humans think and behave in the way that they do will inevitably be linked to one or another branch of psychology. The different disciplines of psychology are extremely wide-ranging. They include:

• Clinical psychology
• Cognitive psychology: memory
• Cognitive psychology: intelligence
• Developmental psychology
• Evolutionary psychology
• Forensic psychology
• Health psychology
• Neuropsychology
• Occupational psychology
• Social psychology

BBC says about Taj Mahal---Hidden Truth - Never say it is a Tomb

My View points.....

To fulfill our ego ... we may start talk about other with a superlative idea ... some times your idea may damages other persons original character and position ... and event you can't rectify your word or sentence once it is defined by you ... so always we have to keep in our mind that .... ??? Fulfillment of Ego ---- some times it may very important to you... but the statements what we are going to define should be very constructive and realistic

some more....

Always your approach will defines your relationship with others .... and also the situations and natural circumstances will effects those relations... so finally If you feel that you are not suitable for a good relations or something .... just leave them as they were ? because always it's not possible to be the same as they were today ... and never try to re-examine those things....

more and more...

In my observation everyone has a strong idea about “What is right? And What is Wrong?” …. But the basic problem in our real life activities and actions… it was so difficult to find that “Are we doing right or wrong?” in enduring stage, so why can't i define that indirectly we are hippocratics.

Unlock Your Mind Power - The Key To Life Success

Unlock Your Mind Power
- The Key To Life Success

Have you ever wonder how your Mind Power can change your life?

For many years, human mind has been the key subject of research by scientists from all over the world. The amazing creative and transformational capability of human mind is simply mind-boggling, if you would ponder about all the breakthroughs in science, technology, medicine, engineering, architecture and sports achieved in the history of mankind.Today, experts in mind science research have come to a conclusion:

We have barely scratched the surface of the staggering potential of human mind!

Leonardo Bianchi (from The Mechanism of the Brain and the Function of the Frontal Lobes, 1922) said:

"The brain is the great factory of thought. To it are directed all the forces of nature, forces which, for thousands of years, have been expending themselves upon it and impressing on it a slow and continuous motion of evolution."

Lord Brain (from Science and Man, 1966) said:

"Just as brain development has greatly increased the range and scope of perception (that is, the receptive side of its activities) so it has enhanced the range and power of man's control over his environment."

The human brain weighs only a few hundred grams in mass, yet it holds the key to the mystery of life and its creation. It is capable of much greater potential than we ever imagined. This gray matter between our ears possess amazing power that can create the greatest success we can possibly dream of. However, despite all the education and training, most people have been utilizing only up to 10 percent of the true capability of their precious asset - mind power. The key to realizing the full potential of mind power remains a mystery to many people.

Gautama Maharishi (Hindi: गौतम महर्षि, Malay: Kutama Maharisi, Tamil: Kautaman, Thai: Khodam) is one of the Saptarishis (Seven Great Sages Rishi of the current Manvantara (seventh) ^[1]. He was one of the Maharishis of Vedic times, known to have been the discoverer of Mantras -- 'Mantra-drashtaa', in Sanskrit. The Rig Vedahas several suktas (Sanskrit: 'hymns') that go with his name. He was the son of Rahugana, belonging to the line of Angiras. The Devi Bhagavatam says that the river Godavari is so named because of its association with Gautama. He had two sons by name Vamadeva and Nodhas, both themselves discoverers of Mantras. There is a hymn called Bhadra in the Sama Veda which again is ascribed to Gautama Maharishi.

[edit]Personal life

His wife is Ahalya, herself the 'mind born daughter' (Sanskrit: manasa putri) of Creator Brahma. The Puranasspeak of the story wherein it is described how Gautama won the hand of Ahalya by circumambulating the divine cow in order to fulfill the stipulation of Brahma that whoever first goes round the whole Earth will win the hand of Ahalya. The 'chief priest' (Sanskrit: Purohita) of King Janaka of Mithila, by name Shatananda, was the son of Gautama and Ahalya. Gautama's sixty-year long penance is mentioned in the Shanti parva of the Mahabharata. The Narada purana describes the story of the 12-year famine during which Gautama fed all the Rishis and saved them.

Gautama was one of the famous seven rishis termed Saptarshi. He was the progenitor of the Gautama gotra. He was the son of Rahugana.

With Bharadvaja, Gautama shares a common ancestry as they are both descended from Angirasa, and sometimes they are both bracketed together under the name Angirasa.

The sons of Gautama are Vamadeva and Nodha. The 4th book of the Rigveda is that of the Vamadeva Gautama family.

[edit]Legends

The descent of Lord Shiva as Trimbakeshvar, that constitutes the source of the Jyotirlinga nearby, happened for the sake of Gautama. The Brahmanda Purana mentions that one of the sub-branches of the Raanaayani branch of Sama Veda was initiated by this Gautama. Some famous disciples of Gautama were Praachina-yogya,Shaandilya, Gaargya, and Bharadwaja.

According to the Ramayana, Rishi Gautama once went to take bath in the river Ganges early morning. The king of the devas, Indra, was fascinated with Gautam's wife, Ahalya. Indra came in the form of Gautam and made love to Ahalya. As he was escaping, he was caught by Rishi Gautama who was returning to the Ashrama from his bath. Gautam cursed Ahalya and Indra both for this act. Ahalya was converted to stone, while Indra was cursed with one thousand female genitals (Sahasrayoni). Later, taking pity on both, Gautama converted both these curses to boons. Indra's female genitals (yonis) became eyes, and he came to be known as Sahasraaksha. As for Ahalya, Gautama granted her the boon that she would be brought back to human form by the touch of the feet of Lord Rama and would reunite with him.

[edit]Author of the earliest Dharma-sutra

Gauatama was also the author of Dharma-sutra known as Gautama Dharma sutra ^[2][3] It is in fact the earliest Dharma Sutra. It contains 28 chapters with 1000 aphorisms. Almost every aspect of the observances of Hindu dharma - including the rules for the four Ashramas, the fortysanskāras, the four varnas, kingly duties, the punishments for various offences, the obsequies for the dead, do's and don'ts of food consumption, the dharmas of women, the rules for Praayaschitta (atonement for sins), and the rules of succession of property. In this sense Gautama's Dharma Shastra may perhaps be considered the oldest law book of the world.

Akṣapāda Gotama, the 2nd century founder of the school of philosophy that goes by the name of 'Nyaya' (Logic), is not to be confused with Gautama Maharishi.
