Creativity Challenge (Week One)

Hey guys! I was bored so I decided to compile a list of activities to boost creativity and ingenuity. Feel free to participate if you want. You can do it on your own, or you can share what you come up with, it's up to you. I'll edit this post for the rest of the week, adding on challenge a day.

Tuesday

Come up with a list of five things that you really want. Now come up with three reasons you should have them. Not so hard, right? Okay, now come up with three reasons you shouldn't have them.

Avoid: Telling yourself you don't deserve them. Not allowed! Come up with three good reasons, i.e., If I actually buy that iPad I won't be able to feed myself for the next month.

Feel free to modify the assignment if you want! If five is too hard, drop it down a notch. Just do what you can.

Hey Shino!

This is a really great idea. I don't know exactly how you intended us to format our answers, and since I'm the first one to respond, I'm just taking a stab in the dark here...

1) A driver's license
(Positive reasons a,b, and c)
Pa)I'll be able to run errands for my parents
Pb)I'll be able to transport myself, in case of an emergency
Pc)I'll be able to take my friends places, therefore keeping them from doing stupid things with thier other friends.

(Negative reasons a, b, and c)
Na)I'd be tempted to go places, and spend money.
Nb)I'd be out and about far more often than I should.
Nc)I'd do more stupid things with my friends.

2) A car
Pa)I'm a good kid (most of the time) and am tired of being hazed because of it. Having a car would allow me a bit of relief from peers, who all who have cars.
Pb)I've behaved (despite peer pressure) and therefore deserve the freedom a car will grant me.
Pc)I'd be able to drive myself to work or a mission job, therefore helping people I can't reach now.

Na)I'd probably drive too fast.
Nb)I'd be tempted to go places that I probably shouldn't.
Nc)I'd probably drive too fast. (Got a need for speed. xD)

3)A horse
Pa)I'd get more exercise (riding)
Pb)I'd get stronger (caring for the horse)
Pc)I'd be outside more.

Na)I'd ride my horse too fast.
Nb)I'd try things that I shouldn't (i.e. "Of course Blackie can jump that fence, watch.")
Nc)I'd neglect my school and chores.

4)A snake
Pa)I'd get more experience handling snakes.
Pb)I'd have a silent companion.
Pc)I wouldn't spend as much time online.

Na)I'd trust it too much, and it would probably get loose.
Nb)I'd end up playing with it, and neglecting my school and chores.
Nc)I'd spend less time writing, and/or end up writing about my snake more than I could anything else.

5)A bird
Pa)I'd learn more about birds
Pb)I'd gain experience handling birds, and, as I intend to be a biologist, I assume that extensive handling experience is a plus when you're looking for internships-regardless of which animal you want to handle.
Pc)I'd actually bother to remember what happens when an egg is incubabted.

Na)I'd end up neglecting my chores and schoolwork (a common malady of mine, when something interesting has been introduced to me. xD)
Nb)I'd end up spending all of my money on my bird, rather than saving it, like I do now.
Nc)I'd end up spending most of my time trying to convince it to talk.

Sorry if that's not what you had in mind.

P.S. I really like your signature: 'Don't panic!'

What happened? Why is no one responding? Where's the rest of the challenge? Oh no...I feel...so...alone. O.o
