Mrs. Moore had worked hard all day at the office, and she was looking forward to a relaxing evening at home. Just as she walked in the door, the telephone began to ring. She dashed to answer the phone and found that the caller was a man trying to sell her some light bulbs. She refused and hung up the phone. She smelled dinner cooking and went in to see how her children were getting along with the meal. Everything was ready except setting the table, so Mrs. Moore went upstairs to change clothes.,Just as she reached the head of the stairs, the telephone rang again. When Mrs. Moore answered it, she found out that her husband wouldnt be home for dinner. After she changed clothes, she went back downstairs to eat. During dinner, the phone rang twice. Her sister called to ask about the family, and a group wanted her to do some volunteer work. She and the children finished dinner and began cleaning up the kitchen. The phone rang again. The neighbors wanted to borrow the garden hose. After the kitchen was cleaned, Mrs. Moore sat down with a sigh to read while the children did their homework. The phone rang again. Without even answering it, Mrs. Moore called to her children, “Get ready, were all going to a movie.” “Great! But why?” “It seems thats the only way we can get away from this telephone.”,Section Intensive Reading Developing Your Personal Creativity,Preview Pablo Picasso once said: “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist after growing up”. Do you agree to Picassos words? Do you think you are creative？Did your parents develop your creativity when you were very young? The author has her own way of developing creativity even she is not very young.,BACK,Text,Developing Your Personal Creativity By Karen Kuebler The subject of creativity has always been very important to me. I believe creativity can help us solve complex problems in life, as well as many of our simple day to day issues. I also think it is a key character for those who are working to achieve their goals. I used to think I was a very untalented and uncreative person. This was at the point in my life I met my sweet husband. I equated talent and creativity mostly with the arts. I couldnt sing, play a musical instrument, paint, write, design, etc. I had not killed the “child” within, but I let her go into a deep sleep for several years! It was my husband who helped me understand talents and creativity come in many forms. I had to let go of my past ideas of what a talented or creative person should be like. I removed the labels I had put on myself as an untalented and uncreative person.,Thank goodness I was able to do that. When you unleash the creativity within, you are letting a powerful force loose! And, it has a snowball effect. The more you use it, the more it grows. I became very creative when I quit work and had to learn to live on less income and pay off our debts. The more creative I allowed myself to be, the more I lived it on a day to day basis. Take some time to observe children. They are natural artists because they allow their creativity to run free. Their imagination knows no boundaries and nobody has made them believe they cant do something. So how do you awaken the “child” within once youve outgrown your youth? Think about the activities you enjoyed as a child. Watch some children play and enjoy life. Try it! Have a water fight, balloon fight or snowball fight. This is important to help you lose limitation and allow your imagination to start to fly. A childs imagination is boundless. Ideas are limited only by the boundaries we have set with our adult imaginations.,There are also some great books on the subject of developing your inner-self and creativity. “How to Unlock Your Mind for Innovation,” is a great book. I particularly liked a suggestion the author makes to change some of our routines that have become rooted in our daily lives. Drive
