Creativity Is the Mother of Invention By Sha Azam Siddiqui

The world in which we live in This beautiful place which we belong to It’s so beautiful and so colorful But we always lack to see beauty of it and we continue to live the life which is so regretful This is the one life we have We have to live it to the fullest Not with happenings or desires of others But with the intention which truly inspires us. We have to live this life We have to create this life

This life is ours and only ours We need to realize this first It’s said that creativity is the mother of invention But it depends solely on individual intention If we are clear with our own destination It doesn’t matter then how much we get rejection Live this life as if you were the King Spend the luxuries as if you were the Queen It all starts with the only Intention If we just keep on thinking Then there is no end for this perspiration.

Creativity is the key to a bright future. We live in a     1     world. But we always tend to ignore the beauty of it and thus have many regrets in our lives. We only live     2    , so we have to live a fullest one. This life is ours, so we have to live and     3     it. We need to realize this first. Creativity is the mother of invention that depends on individual intention. If we have     4    , then the rejections we get would not be a problem. Bear this only intention in our mind and keep on thinking, and there will be     5     for this perspiration.
