Creativity

My roommates and I hosted a spur of the moment dessert party tonight. It was a hit. We had cake pops, cupcakes, cinnamon butter squares, brownie bites...

Brownie bites. They were just supposed to be regular brownies. My sweet roommate Abby had made them with the best intentions, but they came out really gooey (which is the best, really), and try as we might we could not make them look presentable. Then, epiphany, we scooped up the brownies, mashed them in a bowl, smushed them into spheres and rolled them in powdered sugar.

The funny thing is brownies typically only have marginal success at parties. They're widely available and always made. But rolling these brownies into spheres made all the difference. They were gone within the first thirty minutes.

That's the thing with creativity. You don't have to revolutionize anything, just make something better. Apple changed the aesthetic of the MP3, cupcake shops gave their sweets a premium look and charged a premium price, etc. You? You can roll brownies into spheres. Then everyone eats it.

Can you spot the brownie bites

The misconception is that creativity is limited to the right brained. There's another misconception that it's limited to music or drawing or fashion, but that's just not true. The opportunity is always there. It's also been proven to make you some serious dough. Get it?
