Creative Vs Discipline

In my first week of school, I am excited and overwhelmed by the new role teachers play. I would prefer to term my occupation as an educator. Indeed! Tons of assignments due in a few weeks time. I realised that alot of ideas and creativity is expected out of me. Hm.. CREATIVITY..
Guan and I had a discussion over this. I was never the creative one. I am the more disciplined between us. Guan on the other hand has much creative juice flowing in his brains. Thinking out of the box is not uncommon.

From our talk, we concluded in general...

The CReAtives - ill disciplined but often are the cream of the cake.
The discipliNed - work hard. U often find them among the first layer in a cake.

Now, Can a disciplined person be also creative? Hm.. we thought there was a conflict here as disciplined people are often bounded by a set of rules. This restricts creativity. Hm.. what do you think? Which r u?

Comments:
It actually demands more creativity from one when one is constrained by rules etc, isn't it? He has to work within those constraints... Restrictions, can therefore, in a way, breed creativity...

i was thinking know..aunty hmmm...i was thinking if...if a person have got no discipline and also have got no creative juice flowing or rather oozing out of that person..which part of the cake does he/she belong too? haha...
 
Ha..ha.. we talked about that too. These remaining people seem to be those very skilled in their interests. They easy come easy go. No structure, just interests. So see la. If they perform they can even be toppings. If no perfom, then second layer of cake? Actually i also dunno. Just my view la.
