Both Tim Brown and Elizabeth Gilbert bring the same topic or issue; it's all about creativity.
Tim Brown - Tales of Creativity and Play
Tim tells about strong connection between creativity and play, As people get older, they become too serious and afraid of other people's judgment. However, children freely play around in their trusted environments which help them to explore with less worries or fears. Thats why some famous firms like Google, Pixar, etc. make their workplace as comfy as possible, in order to make people more secure and relax to explore something innovative. He divides play into three types; exploration (exploring new things), building (making quick prototypes and thinking with our hands), role-playing (acting out through experience to develop empathy for the clients)
Elizabeth Gilbert - Your Elusive Creative Genius
Elizabeth emphasizes that someone with creativity is not 'being' genius, but actually everyone 'having' genius. Genius is not a rare person who born with creativity with him/her. Creativity and depression might be linked together, as people tend to compare your work with the most successful one, and if you don't satisfy them, it will be a hard time. Besides, in the past people thought that creativity is the work of magical or external being. As the time passed, people started to put out that magical creatures and called creative people as 'being' a genius. Then, those creative people became the center of universe. However, this is fully wrong idea as that put too much burden and bring depression towards that creative people. In everyday lives, sometimes we are visited by some elusive ideas, thoughts, and we should directly embrace them, not ignore them. Those elusive ideas is not only for artists, but also everyone including us.
In my opinion, these two videos are extremely helpful as I can open up my mind to new ways of thinking what is creative all about. Everyone do have creativity, and these two speakers tell how to embrace and also develop my creativity very well.
