“Creativity is always preceded by destruction”
— Umberto Eco

Simplified Meaning:
To create something new, sometimes the old ways or things need to be broken down or let go of first. Imagine a building that is old and falling apart. Before a beautiful new building can be built in that spot, the old one must be torn down. This also happens in life when we want to make big changes. For example, if a person wants to start a new career, they might need to leave their old job or learn new skills, which means saying goodbye to certain habits or routines. The idea is that doing something creative or different often requires us to change or destroy what was there before. By understanding this, we can be more accepting of changes and challenges knowing they can lead to new and better things.
