“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”
— Pablo Picasso
Simplified Meaning:
Children naturally have a creative and imaginative way of seeing the world. They draw, paint, and invent stories without worrying about rules or being perfect. However, as people get older, they often worry more about what others think and become afraid to express themselves freely. Society and responsibilities may tell them that being practical is more important than being creative. This makes it harder for adults to keep that childhood sense of creativity alive. To stay creative, adults need to find ways to keep their imagination alive, like setting aside time for hobbies, trying new things, or not being afraid to think differently. For example, even a busy professional can take up painting as a weekend hobby to nurture their inner artist.
