Creativity And The Jack Of All Trades

<h1>Creativity And The Jack Of All Trades</h1>

<p align=right>by Angie Dixon</p>

<div align=justify>You may be familiar with the saying, "Jack of all trades and master of none."
<br />
<br />Well, I say, "Hooey." That's right. In fact, let me say it again. "Hooey."
<br />
<br />It is perfectly possible to be a multipassionate person and do several things well. Many, even. I'm a writer, a mother, a photographer, a friend, an entrepreneur. Sometimes not all at the same time, but I do them all, and do them all well.
<br />
<br />But I think one reason many people can't do many things well, or think other people can't, is a lack of creativity.
<br />
<br />It takes a lot of gumption to juggle two small kids, a deadline on an article, a pan of spaghetti, and a friend who wants to talk about a problem at work.
<br />
<br />It takes even more gumption, and creativity, to juggle five projects, and those same two kids and that same friend.
<br />
<br />Sometimes the creativity is required to figure out how you can manage one thing later. "Jack, I know you want to show your new game to me right now, but actually, I've been asleep for about an hour. Could we do it in the morning?"
<br />
<br />Sometimes the creativity is figuring out how to handle two projects at once. "Hmmm. If I write an article on creativity AND writing, I could use it in my writing ezine AND my creativity ezine.
<br />
<br />Sometimes the creativity is in finding a sensitive way to say, "I can't right now." "Samantha, I know you want to play badminton. I have an abscessed tooth and can't move my head. How about Old Maid on the bed instead?"
<br />
<br />And sometimes the creativity is just in remembering that these are people, things and situations you love and want to enjoy, and then going and enjoying them.</div>
