Creativity and stretching the sweatshirt

Seth Godin claims that being creative is what he call "always staying near the edges."
He further explains this by the following:

1. If you want to be creative, understand that you'll need to get to the edges, even if the edges have moved. Being creative means immediately going to the place the last person left off.

2. If you are "not creative," if you are the sort of person that gets uncomfortable being creative or has been persuaded you're not capable, don't worry about it. Just stretch the sweatshirt in your spare time, watch the creative things other people have done, keep up with the state of the art. Then, when you do your "not creative" thing, most people will think it's pretty creative indeed.

Being creative is also described as being on of a kind and striving for innovation. However, creativity is also found in the everyday actions of most individuals... so keep on keepin' on and someone will notice the creativity.
