I regard myself as a creative person - but wait - maybe I have only been looking at half the picture.
Because in researching the subject I came across the following quote:
“If you have ideas but don't act on them, you are imaginative but not creative.”
And now I am thinking I may be imaginative but not creative. I think I am very good with coming up with ideas, but maybe not so successful about turning them into reality. Now why would that be?
I know I need deadlines. I know I work better in collaboration.
