How to Foster Creativity

Students will experience their incredible creativity if they don’t fear.

Fear quickly gets a person going. But what does it do next? A person loses the ability to move forward. When one’s creativity is gone, he won’t have great energy and vitality in order to have a strong motivation to uplift his soul.
If we eliminate fear, creativity will follow. A creative person should be somewhat brave. Don’t frighten your children from this and that. Then, if you pour knowledge into their brains [said jokingly], they won’t be able to do anything with this knowledge. They have only memorized things. A scholar should be free from being inhibited by fear! An artist should be free from being inhibited by fear! A fear of competition shouldn’t overwhelm him.
A fear of being poor or other imaginary fears shouldn’t overwhelm a person. A tradition says that fears of becoming poor have made people wretched. One shouldn’t be afraid. Not that he should be given so much money that he’s not afraid. That’s useless. This won’t correct his habit of fearing. If he isn’t afraid now, he will be in other cases.
What does fear do to a person? Fears create a quick energy in a person. But in the long run, they paralyze him/her. When some teachers or parents want to teach something quickly, they frighten the child. They quickly use the tool of “fear.” “Man is created of haste.” [Qur’an 21:37] Haste pushes people to use the fastest tool that does the job.
Most of our students will become scholars and experience their incredible creativity if they don’t fear! One reason we discuss being tested is so that we can accept the tribulations and not be afraid anymore. Fear quickly produces motivation in a person. It pushes a person to move forward. But then it paralyzes a person. Some medicines paralyze people. Some severe illnesses really bother people. People like to be cured quickly. They take some medicine and are quickly cured. But that same medicine paralyzes the person a few years later! See how amazing. A suitable example. Have you ever seen such a good example?! Fear works in the same way!
Students will experience their incredible creativity if they don’t fear.
