G. Explain/elaborate the following quote, minimum of 8 sentences not more than 10 sentences.
“Self-awareness is one of the biggest enemies to creativity.”
Self-awareness means an individual has a focus in his/herself wherein he/she is conscious about the actions, thoughts, and different emotions she has. If one is aware of his/her self then a person will be able to determine the things it needed to change, he/she will be able to determine the good and bad traits that he/she has. And this self –awareness then becomes the biggest enemies to creativity because new things about one’s self will not formed nor developed since a person already knows the things he/she needs to know. If there is self-awareness, then one will not be able to recognize the new things about an individual there will be no surprises nor newly acquired characteristics since an individual already know the things he/she likes. No new things will be advised to a person if he/she is aware of the things it wants. Everything is already planned and being evaluated.
Moreover in some circumstances, self-awareness can block a person’s mind about the thoughts of other people. For example, a person who is self-aware of having no confidence at all and is afraid to take risks will not be able to move forward and be able to seek new things about his/herself due to the fact that the person is already aware of his/herself that she couldn’t do a task or a challenges.
