Creative Mindset

Hi, I'm Brady.

Jeff Cut.

And this is my creative mindset project.

So to begin, I will start by talking about curiosity.

So curiosity, what happened is a gun or is it

still there?

What is curiosity?

Curiosity is defined as a strong desire to know or

learn something.

It is important school we all need to have and

everyone starts out curious.

But as we age, we conform to the notion that

curiosity is back.

So what happened to curiosity?

Um, we're very curious Children and curiosity gets you in

trouble. So in the end, you were discouraged from being

creative and curious.

So I think your curiosity back, you need to ask

questions without fear of what others think and do something

out of your comfort zone.

So in activity we did for the Curiosity unit was

genius. Our So I did a research apart about how

the way you grew up affect your future success and

what success means.

So for this I interviewed Joseph, Jeff Kat and the

questions I asked him where where the choices you made

of high school affected by the way you grew up.

What did you view?

Success as when you were younger.

What do you view?

Success as now.

So he responded.

Um, I'll summarize.

He's up briefly.

Hey, grew up in a small town in Delaware, and

he was born to a poor single mother.

And he viewed his Onley choices after high school work

to go in the military.

And, uh, when he viewed successes, Uh, when he was

younger, Mhm viewed it as going in the military because

that's what everyone in the past had done in his

family and what he views.

Success now is bringing a solid life instability for its

clients in his new job in finance and to his

family, and he believes that hard work brings success.

So what I learned through the genius our assignment E

took a topic that I was curious about and dug

deep in defining the answers.

I learned a lot about curiosity this project, and, um,

because this was the first time in all of my

school years that I've been able to actually research, I

think curious about if the first time that have encouraged

to be curious about something I learned a lot through

this project is in the past were in school.

We're told to learn certain things.

It's not where you're curious about.

So some things I've learned through this would always be

curious. Curiosity is important to exceed.

I kind of learned how to be curious again.

So I also wanted to do another activity toe boost

my curiosity.

So for for this I also like the genius.

Our topic I was curious about and asked a couple

of students at Miami that I believe you very curious

and creative people.

Some questions.

And those questions were, When do you think you stop

being curious?

What made you stop being curious?

And how can you start being curious again?

So the first student I asked was Tim Snyder and

his response, uh, Waas.

He stopped being curious whenever he has a lot of

school work to do and what makes him stop being

curious, he says his mind just does not have enough

space to think about anything other than what he's doing.

And his response to how you could start being curious

again is just sit back and look around when I

have free time.

I feel like I am more curious.

The next student was Joey.

Jeff caught.

He said he never stopped being curious, and he said

his mind is so full of things that he wants

to do and he needs to plan.

And he has never not been curious things.

And, he said, to start being curious again, you have

to have dreams for the future and create possible ways

you can achieve those dreams.

Okay, Jack.

Jeff Kat said he never stopped being curious, either.

And nothing ever made him stop, he said.

Explore new things, embraced the discomfort of the unknown and

reached to understand it, pursue what makes you happy and

what you feel like you can change, make what is

unknown known.

And finally, Sam Tipple, he said, said he never stopped

being curious.

Ever. And nothing ever made him stop.

He said.

Put yourself in new places with New Creek people to

be curious again.

So how will this help my goals?

Curiosity is very important skill toe have, especially in the

world of business, which is my goal to go into

a job in finance, Entrepreneurs can use curiosity to find

problems in everyday life and find a way to fix

them, and I can use this curiosity in my own

life to achieve my own goals by asking what I

want to do with my life.

I'm still not certain exactly what I'm gonna do my

major or my future.

So I can use curiosity to explore what I want

to dio and then I can use it.

The question of a job or major is really what

I want to dio, and then I can find something

that genuinely interest me and make a profession out of

it. Next will be moving on to divergence.

So how should you solve your problems?

So what is divergence to diverges, deviating from a set

course or standard as a creative mindset?

It's a way of thinking that presents many solutions and

requires that you step out of your comfort zone.

So one of the activities we did for divergence was

the goose chase activity, and this assignment had us do

task the forces to get out of our comfort zone.

And some of the ones I did was making a

unique sandwich, which for that I made a relish and

marshmallow sandwich, which was just disgusting.

But it forced me to, I guess open up my

taste buds to new ideas of different foods changing my

style for a day, which was really weird because it

it forced me to be different than I usually am.

I sang Happy Birthday in a different language and taking

the plunge.

Uh huh.

And then the other assignment we did was diverging on

habits. So for this assignment, I tracked my habits.

I worked to change them for the better.

Some of the habits I noticed where I was waking

up really early.

I wasn't starting homework early, and I was procrastinating on.

I worked to fix these bad habits that were waking

up 80 and every day I started homework immediately.

I keep my phone far away from me so I

can't procrastinate.

I made it.

I took a giant whiteboard ahead and turned it into

a planner.

And now I work at a table instead of my

room, and I've managed to keep these products this progress

with me since this, uh, project that's really helped me

grow as a person.

E feel like since I've diverged on my habits, I've

become a better study er in a better student.

So what I learned through this work, I learned a

valuable skill of diapers and thinking.

I learned through problem solving and with many unique solutions,

you can change your life for the better.

I learned through the Goose Chase assignment to step out

of my comfort zone and do things that are foreign

in my mind.

I learned through diversion, thinking that bad habits can be

fixed through divergence.

So how could this apply for my future goals?

I can use that Virgin's, uh, in the future because

it's a great problem solving tool I can use to

decide my major through trying new classes and different experiences.

I don't need to be set on just business school.

I can try different classes outside and see if those

have any interest in my mind, experience new cultures and

ideas through life and life and travel, and then fix

Bad happens.

They're keeping me from reaching my future rules.

X is a ambiguity to figure it out.

Yeah, so what is ambiguity?

Ambiguity is defined by the Oxford languages as the quality

of being open to more than one, uh, interpretation or

in exactness like the other creative mindset.

Ambiguity was something that we used a lot as Children,

but as time went on, we stopped using it instead

of trying to figure things out like we did as

Children. We want certainty and we want correctness.

We don't want to try and figure things out.

We wanted just to come to us with the correct

answer immediately.

So the activity we did for ambiguity.

We did a jam board and we came up with

strategies for tolerating, tolerating ambiguity.

Because ambiguity is a scary thing.

It's forcing us out of our comfort zone, forcing us

to experience new ideas and find proper solutions to problems

by ourselves without being told the answer.

So some of the key ones that I thought were

just shut up and learn, like just sit there and

learn how to do it don't lose hope.

It's something that is stressful and just be confident in

yourself. Keep pushing forward.

So what I learned through this I learned to this

activity that when you embrace ambiguity, there isn't always a

right answer to every problem.

And as people I feel like Andy, you really can

help us grow out because most problems in life will

not have a solution.

There were just the best solution, but not a correct

one. And sometimes the unknown is okay.

And through this you can figure out, um, problems in

different ways.

So future goals.

I think this creative mindset applies to future goals more

than any others.

Dio, um because the future is and the U.

S. We don't know what the future holds.

And through this, when you embrace this and we can

succeed by making strategies that embrace ambiguity, we can prepare

for what lies ahead, and we can reach our goals.

So finally, failure.

So how can you overcome this failure?

So everyone knows that failure is and everyone has felt

my failure is a part of life and no matter

what, it's impossible to avoid.

Um, as a society, we don't allow ourselves to fail

because we think it's bad.

But it's not always bad.

Nobody's perfect and everyone fails.

The best ideas actually come from failure, and it's not

really a failure if you learn from your mistakes.

So my most recent example of failure was the group

Goldman machine, which we did in this class.

Um, the whole point of my machine was to get

a thermometer to my brother, shook his check his temperature

on this took me over 14 attempts, and my problem

is buried each time.

Mhm. So I learned a lot from this project.

This project really frustrated me, and it was just failure

after failure after failure.

And I just stop and ask myself why I was

getting frustrated.

And the answer was, as we look at, failure is

a bad thing.

I couldn't make myself realized that each failure was success

in this project, especially, each failure you make is one

step closer to your goal.

And that's kind of just how life is.

Every failure you make helps you reach your goals, and

you're slowly canning successful.

Mhm. Yeah, so like ambiguity.

I think failures and other really important mindset because failure

is inevitable.

And no matter what, you're going to fail while trying

to reach your goals.

It's just how you take these failures and use them

to your advantage.

Prezi s so in conclusion, all of these mindsets, they're

all things.

We had his Children, and it's important that we continue

to have them with us as adults because their unique

ways that we can think and help us grow as

people and they'll help us reach our future goals in

the end.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for your time.
