We are all inventors.

As a child, I was very curious. Everything I saw on any type of media, even colors were very important to me. Every day, we see pictures around us, colors, we read texts, or listen to sounds. All those things make us realize how humans have imagination and can be very creative. We often think that creativity is an exercise that is reserved to a certain type of field especially in advertising or marketing. But every day, we all create. We often try to find new ways to get things done. We want to amaze people and do things in an original manner.

As true as each of us is unique, I believe that everyone has the gift to create, to make something from nothing and change things around us. Human creativity has influenced the world and is still having the same impact. As for me, creativity is a power and the source of life. Everything we use, everything we see, listen and say is a creation, something brand new and original. The greatest inventions, the different artworks, music, films… are only a few sides of what humans are capable of. We have such a power in us, and we ignore the possibilities of it in our lives.

Inspiration, which I consider to be the source of creativity, is the essence of everything. Whatever inspires humans: feelings (love, evil,) material facility (machines,) etc., they are all the source of the world inhabitants actions.

We all have to be aware of this. We are all inventors; we are all creators, and those who are aware of this power they have, are those who change and influence the world.
