<p>Prompt: Do closed doors make us creative?</p>
<p>Mankind thrives in the face of challenges. Since cavemen were around, obstacles have motivated humans to think outside the box. Several examples from literature, history and current events show that the premise that closed doors makes us creative is an unequivocal truth.</p>
<pre><code>Vast amounts of resources and money are highly needed to build an army. This taks is frequently delegated to the king and his generals. However, in Mongolia, the nomadic tribes made it difficult to put a proper military together. Atilla the Hun was faced with this daunting task. The lack of resources made it difficult for him to gather enough “proper” men. Instead, Atilla got creative and recruited all the men he could find and focused on their training. Hence, even though he didn’t have many resources, Atilla was able to make the world’s most feared army by his own creativity.
Successful people many times face closed doors. One such case was Jay Gatsby. A poor farmer boy who lived a hard life only to see his one true love Daisy, abandon him. The obstacle of moving social classes motivated Gatsby to become rich. He became creative and resorted to bootlegging liquor. This ultimately helped him become immensely wealthy and able to woo Daisy. Thus, had the restriction of social class not been present, Gatsby might not have wanted to think creatively and become rich.
Solving problems is the only way to success in the entrepreneurial world. Entrepreneurs pride themselves in using closed doors to their advantage by proving a solution, creating a company and reaping all the profits. Prominent examples are Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg. Each was faced with obstacles but became creative. These entrepreneurs used their creativity to make solutions to commons problems. Therefore, the only way these entrepreneurs succeded was by using their hurdles to their advantage.
Indeed after careful analysis closed doors are crucial to creativity.
