Make Yourself A Creative Mind
Bertrand Russell started his life as a star personality. But when he died at the age of 97, his was a case of frustration. What was the reason benind this tragedy? Russell says of himself in his autobiography: "When I surwey my life, it seems to me to be a useless one, devoted to impossible ideals. My activities continue from force of habit, and in the company of others, I forget the despair which underlies my daily pursuits and pleasure. But when I am alone and idle, I cannot conceal from myself that my life has no purpose, and that I know of no new purpose to which to devote my remaining years." An analysis of the above statement gives us the answer. One of Russell's cherished goals was the establishment could be achieved only through a world government. Russell devoted his life to the achievement of this goal. However, he failed utterly. Failure in life is not final defeat. Failure means that a man has failed in achieving the first choice, but he still has the second choice. Bertrand Russell failed to discover the second choice. This was Russell's real failure. It is said that Russell was a voracious reader. However, according to his own confession, his study was done out of habit. Habit is a recurrent, unconscious pattern of behaviour that is acquired through frequent repetition. This was Russell's weakness. He studied a lot, but he did so as a habit rather than by way of then it will not develop creative thinking. Doing something as a result of conscious planning develops a person's mind and leads to creative thinking. One who plans thus is capable of engaging in introspection, reassessing his work and taking a U-turn in his life. Then he can make anew choice for himself. A creative mind is a live mind, which is in a position to take new decisions every moment. The ideal that Russell had set as his goal was not achievable. Had Russell cultivated a creative mind, he would have re-examined his goal and made a new choice. This would have made his life meaningful once again.
