a quick definition I want to reference
it says free Liberty is the ability to
transcend traditional ways of thinking
that's that's literally what I think of
your 2DS well it's just like
transcending your capabilities of
thinking
um is thinking or acting and to develop
new and original ideas methods or
objects so that just really just stands
out to me that it's about developing new
ideas and from what I understood from
what I got from it creativity is not the
same as being an artist it can be linked
to any field it can be linked to any
kind of occupation and also it's kind of
a skill that's really employable people
want that skill people want to have

Branch from day to day life actually it
is creativity is around us everywhere
it's um in making mozzarella it's in
cheese and it's making in a violin it's
in making pots in your free time
creativity is everywhere
um and I realized that I also practice
creativity in several aspects of my life
like I mentioned like cooking I do music
so I make my own music that's kind of
where I put my creative front I also
work so I'm a software engineer by a
profession so that's where I need to use
some problem solving skills and critical
thinking so that's kind of where I put
my creative self up front
um and so this module really helped me
um understand the value of credibility
like I use it in daily life so I need to
appreciate it more and hone on the
skills so I can get an advancement in my
career and my my personal life
everywhere
and I want to code this um
a really good code I found on vwork.com
you can't use of creativity the more you
use the more you have
it's really good code and so yeah just
following up on that application of
creative in my field computer scientists
need to be Innovative and they need to
be original and these are like key
skills for anyone in this field so like
that's where there's so much research in
development and that's a reason that
there's so much recently development and
on this blog I found codedelicious.com
creative routine computer science it
mentions that problem solving skills are
really really important for like
computer science major people like
software engineers in general is the
ability to like handle all these
challenges by tackling them with like
problem solving critical thinking and
just coming up with different
alternative Solutions it's like really
what our field requires
um and the skills that I would need to
succeed in my career we have those are
problem solving I need to be a problem
solving person I need to have a critical
thinking mindset I need to be efficient
I need to produce value to the code that
I put in because the code that I put in
needs a value and these are points found
through wayup.com
um types of skills that best computer
science Majors should have it's a really
good article
finally I would like to mention
um the skills that I need to be
successful and how I will learn them
um I found this really good article on
gcu.edu which talks about seven tips on
developing creativity I will accept
challenges to broaden my mind I'll
brainstorm with my peers because
creativity happens in a group I push
myself to get out of my comfort zone
practice and devote some time to do
activities that I do and give myself
breaks when necessary so I can have the
better mindset about these things
