Novelty, Creativity, Innovation and Invention.

Novelty:freshness: originality by virtue of being refreshingly novel

Creativity:a mental process involving the discovery of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the existing ideas or concepts, fueled by the process of either conscious or unconscious insight.

Innovation/Invention:a creation (a new device or process) resulting from study and experimentation

Many of the world's inventions have been spurred forward by creativity. From the wheel, to the first automobile, to the airplane, to the computers, man has perceived an idea in his mind and gone forward to pursue it. Creativity is the ability to solve a problem by viewing it from outside the box. Thinking away from the normal lines of thought and letting the mind stray to the unimaginable. After the thought process, the implementation is of equal importance. Hardwork and creativity go hand in hand. Without hardwork, creativity is just a fart in the wind.
