Question: How do you own creativity? Hint: it's a trick question!

Answer: You can't.... but... you use creativity to own just about anything else!

In class today we watched two TED videos. They were both entertaining, insightful, and they both preached about the importance of creativity. I couldn't have agreed more with Sir Ken. Besides being hilarious his speech was true too. Creativity is one of the attributes that separates us from the animals and I know that my life would be totally different without creativity. Even the simplest tasks would be like pulling teeth.

Owning wouldn't exist without creativity.

Creativity can be used in just about everything you do and own.

Without creativity there would be no art, no literature, no entertainment, and no fun..... ever!

In coming up with an example for using creativity to own the possibilities were endless... time, however, was scarce so I decided to put my roomate, Emily, and the Rashford Hall elevator to work.

The outcome... Tapanga Malanga presents owning the dorm elevator.

Anyone can just push a button, wait, and board an elevator... but you're with me now... we don't just do the ordinary- we OWN!

Below are examples of what normal people do and how extraordinary people own dorm elevators.

You could just push the button.

BUT to own you have to get creative.

Try pushing the button with something other than your finger. You could use your foot, your nose, or even your butt. Me? I chose my elbow.

You could just wait around for it to stop at your floor.

OR you could own by practicing yoga, showing off some funky fresh dance moves,  memorizing birthdays, or even learning about the earth.  

Once boarding the elevator you could just stand silently.

OR you can own by making a new friend.

(Whether that person is interested or not.)

I hope you give these ideas a chance! Let me know if you have any other ideas!

And remember, keep owning my friends!
