Feeling bored is an objective feeling. Things are boring and tedious if they take long, repeated work. Situations that bore me are changing constantly, but the reason why I feel bored is always the same: lacking creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think people who do creative work are less likely to be bored than the average person. Because creative work has the traits of self-creation and variability. I’m working on becoming a concept artist, it’s exciting to work, and it solves boredom to a great extent. I don’t have a fixed work schedule, and I can combine different elements in my work to create something new and enticing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many parents believe that for their children, \u201cevery spare moment is to be optimized, maximized, driven toward a goal.\u201d This certainly happened in my life too, but once I got my parents to learn about 3D modelling and turn in their assignments in their free time, they no longer had such thoughts or requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Half of my weeks are free time. I often stay alone, playing games, watching videos or doing some personal work. Sometimes I also go out shopping with friends or go hiking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no human emotion or feeling that is useless. I thought of boredom as a reminder of the “need for change.\u201dThis is our instinct because of the pursuit of change and breakthrough. I often feel bored because I can’t find exciting movies or games to entertain me. When I want to remember the good movies\/games I had consumed and to get inspiration to paint my favourite characters, I find it hard and I am reluctant to start. But when I begin to create, I always feel a surge of energy that makes me full and satisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Education systems should learn from our boredom and instil creativity in us. Most schools are still all disciplinary machines, almost identical to prisons. It takes a more civilized society to consider the student user experience and to add something interesting. Fun motivates the secretion of dopamine, which is vital in human self-motivation. There is no doubt that fun will stimulate students’ interest in learning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
