Resourcefulness and Creativity

We define resourcefulness as a set of cognitive-behavioral self-control skills for coping with stress to maintain quality of life. 

Resourcefulness has been known to increase quality of life, which may include adaptive functioning, life satisfaction, perceived health, psychological well-being, physical functioning, and positive health factors. Furthermore, individuals high in learned resourcefulness are better at controlling negative emotions and managing stressful tasks.

We define creativity as the ability to come up with ideas that are original or novel and useful or appropriate.

Creativity has long been considered the most essential skill for accomplishment. Moreover, in a 2010 survey of 1,500 chief executives in 33 industries, "creativity" was the factor most crucial for success. Additionally, skills in creativity are necessary in attaining higher employment and economic achievement, and coping with increased competition.
