Jackson Wang: Music Spotlight

Jackson Wang is a Hong Kong born rapper plus singer that is a part of a Korean group, Got7. I first was introduce to his work through the appearance on television program, Roommate. He amazed me with his talent and personality. He showed humility, positivity, determination, and many other admirable characteristics. Jackson quickly became my favorite person to watch on Roommate.

Jumpstarting Creativity: What, Why, and How

If I say the word creativity what do you think it means? How does it apply to your life? Do you think that you have creativity? The dictionary says that creativity says “the use of the imagination or original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work”. I have worked in teaching, marketing, and other such profession that could be considered creative. I love books, drawing, and writing which are creative hobbies. However, I can not tap into my creative talents 24/7. I am only human. With my activities and some of my past jobs involving the need for creativity, I recognized the need for the immediate generation of creativity when you need it. So I had thought to myself, there had to be some way to trigger this power. I think I may have found the answer during my commute while I listened to the TED Radio Hour. They had an episode called Jumpstarting Creativity where people like Tim Harford spoke on how to rekindle and harness it.
