“Making simple complicated is commonplace”, Charles Mingus once said. “Making complicated simple, awesomely simple without loosing its essence, that’s creativity.”
Famous author Yuval Noah Harari received a critique review for his bestselling book Sapiens from an anthropologist as “merely citing the facts and no contribution to the knowledge”. Harari graciously accepted and acknowledged that he isn’t an archeologist or primatologist and did zero new research. However Sapiens does a wonderful job of presenting human history through captivating stories and effortless flow.
Creativity doesn’t necessarily mean coming up with something unique or original. We build upon the work that has been carried out in past by other brilliant creators.
