Ditkoff's explanation of fascination really digs deep into the origins of developing ideas as a creative person. Dikoff says, "Fascination, quit simply, is nature's way of getting our attention" which is a great point because fascination is illogical. Our thinking patterns, our mammalian brain, limbic system, and neo cortex cannot be explained through a mathematical formula or a physical law. Dikoff reverberates that fascination is an enchantment that grows inside of us to create and embed extravagant ideas, which we cannot explain.
As a creative person fascination thrives inside of me, that is where questions develop and many answers that can only be answered for us are found. A immaculate conception is stride that I believe is too far to comprehend, the example is uses the Christian reference of giving birth to ideas that are not fathomable or able to be found until the time in which you give birth to the idea. Our imagination is developed as an individual; fascination helps the imagination develop where we create realistic ways of analyzing ideas.
Being able to immerse an idea is an activity that only can be developed through passion and fascination. Dikoff gives a great example of immerse when he indicates that when a mother hen sits on an eggs she becomes enthralled with the idea of giving life to her baby chick. The hen not only sits on the egg but also mentally trains herself that the fascination of having a baby chick will give her the feelings, which can not be explained until experienced as Dikoff explained through fascination.
Many of the CEO’s and large corporate producers for film, advertising and almost any major business immerse themselves to the state of which there are no other possible options. When someone cannot immerse themselves in their life, their life becomes a job in which the person has hatred towards and is not truthfully passionate about their life. “Google gives their employees 20% of their work week to immerse themselves in their own projects that do no have to do with their day to day job”. What I find incredible about the point is that many of Google’s employees are some of the most talented and hard working individuals in the world. To be able to gives the individuals the time to immerse oneself to their love and passion, they could possibly become even a larger and mosre powerful company than now.
When a person fails at an activity or mentally quits, the failure needs to be looked at through a parallax. When looking at a failure of someone, it cannot always be looked at as failure yet as another way not completing a task and learning from his or her mistakes. To be able to fascinate and immerse oneself into a state of mind will give the person the ability to never accept failure. Ambiguity defines the world of the not yet understood, confusion. To be confused is not a bad thing, yet it explains the reason that the person is becoming fascinated with their thoughts and becoming to immerse the ideas.
To be able to tolerate ambiguity is to be able to learn through a process and become enthralled with the idea. Ambiguity is necessary for humans to thrive from themselves and learn to learn from themselves. Where Dikoff touched on this subject was where he explained that it is a discovery process.
The activity I choose is the idea that has been bubbling on the brink breakthrough of my brain which is the act of creating a narrative cinematic film. The film would involve the nights of a college student in which the freshmen, sophomore, junior and senior students grow up in different areas around the United States. The only thing that is stopping me are the other activities I am immersed in at the time. Ambiguity is where many of my ideas fall apart because of the lack of faith in me with other workers. To understand ambiguity is to have faith in each other and yourself to tolerate it and beat it. To be able to stay with the process of starting, working and finishing the film is a tough process, yet when looking into the future it is all worth it. Confusion is temporary and success lives on forever, that is what drives me as a person. To be able to live for the next day is a gift that I have learned from experience, many others only can understand the concept when experienced. When I become confused I apply my knowledge and fascination skills to start to understand the ideas and where they come from.
