Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses -- and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person "being" a genius, all of us "have" a genius. It's a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk.I belive that everyone is a genius in sometype of fashion. Artists use there talents by creating ideas and putting their ideas in to sometype of plan.
A creative process, even if it's a little thing like writing some lyrics for your garage band, can be a real burden and frustrating, sometimes it looks like you could write a thousand books, other times it just makes you want to give up forever.Gilbert really believes that this attitude towards the creative genius will just help it flow more naturally, creativity flows better without pressure. Creativity flows through the body and the mind. This makes teaching fun to me when I see kids coming up with new ideas.
I got alot out of this information, it really makes you think about how to create real world experiance, that your students will learn from.
