Creativity & Its Perils

What's it like being at the top of your game?

This is of course, with respect to being creative. Everyone's creative to a certain extent, but its always the guys who have it in plenty that stand tall (obviously). So how do they do it?

How do they come up with such impeccable outputs and that too in quick time? How goes the thought process? Does it come after helluva practice? Or is it inborn?

Once you do have an idea there's always someone waiting to reject it.

X:"Hey how's this?"
Y:"Kinda.. ..plain/boring/incomplete/inappropriate/vague I think."

Slam! Right back in your face. I'm not saying that every idea generated is a breakthrough that's been wrongfully denied but there's a way to refuse the proposition. That's what's lacking in most people.

If only constructive criticism was widely popularised.

I know wot ur talking bout. I get it all the time...

If there was ever any constructive criticism, then it wud b apna ATKT jam sessions. Almost never did I feel let down by someones (Read: Paresh, Rohit, Tejas, You) criticism. Always thought comments would help me improve.

Things are different now...
