Personality: Creator
It was quite a challenge for me to choose just one single way of influence… I have been thoroughly active in all of them, except the role of a Muse. Finally, I have decided to adopt the image of a CREATOR, since it is both self-investment and deepening of the knowledge on each way of self-realization and global influence.
I have always deeply regretted that I cannot paint, play music or write poems... I mean I do not perform any pure form of art. Nevertheless, my husband says I am a genuine creator, the one who creates meanings and communities, inspirations and values. I hope that is not only for him… In fact, I started admitting to myself that I could be a creator only after I’ve heard my elder son surprisingly compare me to Elon Musk in his recent interview.
So, here is a brief story about me and my own way of influence on the world as a CREATOR:
As a little girl, I experienced some memorable events that greatly influenced my personality – I kept them as childhood souvenirs. One of them happened when I was just 3 years old. My father slapped me for being naughty. I didn't even cry. My reaction was to start yelling at him: "Are you really that stupid? You hurt me!" Another flash-back, when I was 10: using a closet, I divided the room I shared with my sister. That was the deliberate creation of a world of my own at the time. My third souvenir: the years I spent in Cuba. I was 12 or 13 then… What an atmosphere – such a fascination by the revolution, and I was part of it!
Key facts of my biography: 3 children, active creativity as a philosopher, the WCF forum in Davos, marriage and family life, martial arts (Tai Chi), my grand-daughter Nadia.
Life principle: Dirt does not stick to a lotus flower.
I would like to shout into the world: Don't be afraid to embrace your infinity!
So, the way of Creator, or being the one who dares and generates something new, was natural to me since early childhood. When I failed the exam for the faculty of general stage management and movie-directing, I was at a loss. Not long after, I took up my studies in philosophy, one of the most conservative branches of human knowledge. I soon discovered the possibilities of creating new concepts out of deep meanings or ancient traditions. However, I am probably more of a creator in a sheer revolutionary sense, rather than in any verbal, scientific or artistic way. My work is existential and I see the horizon as a revolution, as a dramatic change in the rules of the game... That has become my conscious choice now.
Greatest failure (or rather: a challenge I have not overcome yet) – probably the fact that there are fewer people involved in my social creativity than I had expected…
Victory – the World Communication Forum and its global community of communicators which have existed for 9 years now, inspiring many people, and not just professionally, but even in their personal life.
Warnings to those who choose to embrace social and revolutionary creativity – you should enjoy loneliness! You must be able to take the responsibility for everything: yourself, others, the destiny of humanity. You cannot lose your harmony – neither internally, nor externally.
Benefits – social development, escape from infantile consumption or submission to manipulation, being an inspiration for all supporters, strengthening humanistic values such as openness, freedom, responsibility.
