It depends on what you are creative in. Some people are cerative in art. Others in music. Others in business. Others in politics.
If you are creative in art you can take an idea and illustrate it. In business you might have a unique idea that will make you money. In politics, for example, Republicans can get people like RakuraiTenjin to constantly vote against his best interest.
I don't think creativity is something you can simply pick up. But I also think you need a lot of practice and a lot of experiance to make your creativity shine. And many times inspiration is a big part of that.
