Two weeks ago, I gave a three minutes short talk. I thought the content was quite silly as it was basically a talk of my usual style - crappy in the simplest form. While I managed to make a fool of myself in front of class yet again, I'm really glad the class enjoyed the talk.
Last week, after getting back the recording for the talk, I showed Bimbang and he thought that the points were clearly illustrated.
Today, in the conference with the tutor, she said that she found my talk very interesting and creative. This leaves me to wander how do people define these two words "creative" and "silly".
From dictionary.com,
Creative is imaginative, and
Silly is ridiculous.
I remembered a few years ago, I communicated an idea of setting up a website for making offerings to Ah Bee, and was slammed by him as 'siao'. Last Saturday, while having dinner with a group of secondary school friends which included him, one of them say that this website has started and was on the news the night before. So, it's quite interesting to see that actually these two words are quite closely related.
Many a time, people who imagine things will be slammed by others as being silly as what they are thinking is simply impossible. This kills the imaginative powers of us overtime. When you were young, I can say that all of you are very imaginative too, but adults will keep telling you that you are thinking too much, don't be silly. Everything you need to know are in the textbook. This is a very sad thing to do, as imaginations bring about changes. It also makes life very dull.
Go back to your childhood and rediscover your power to dream.
