Abstract
Concerns address the phenomenon of creativity alluding to the reasons why the topic is relevant to improving the quality of life. Collection of experiences in both wisdom present in elderly subjects is positioned as expressible raw material through concrete and specific situations that can develop actions that tend to a good life and shape a conceptual and practical apparatus for designing strategies and methodologies for vocational training and clinical practice.

Introduction
In short the following premises is put into question discussion, p ecause should not be regarded as hypotheses rather constitute a provocation, a challenge to generate reflection and discussion on the relevance of l phenomenon creativity in old age, being bridge the best ar quality of life. According Bazuela (2007) major changes in aging, impact on executive functioning, which includes skills related to planning, flexibility, monitoring, inhibition, self - regulation, creep verba l visuospatial skills.1 L co nsecuencia changes given in the central nervous system: L to loss of gray matter and subcortical level cortical as well as decreased production of neurotransmitters, It translates clinically in reducing memory, attention capacity and concentration.2 And in the sense organs that allow us to obtain environmental stimuli to po der live com or individual beings, then participate in the community, and the development of creativity and expression of this.
Discussion
- It is argued that wisdom is understood as a collection of significant experiences3 vivid serves to foster creativity through its attributes: the ability to imagine, to have fluidity and flexibility in the formulation of ideas, originality to provide products or ideas generated in a given situation, and therefore r increases the quality of life of the subject through the sense of wellbeing. Carpio (2015) defines Good Living, a "sists economic ma, matrix of all productive human activity and related human survival and ecosystem survival with its host Cidad layer to provide".4 E n today are reaching increasingly advanced ages this do better health, being a result of improved living conditions and therefore quality of life and medical advances. T he fact live, leads to new challenges as increases disability, disability and handicap, which will define the level of dependence among older people, which in turn influence the policy changes d economic and health system.5
- The wisdom in old age, configured from experiences lived deeply, and be socialized with other interaction with reinforced monitoring strategies develop creativity, essential for security issue and a decreased dependence to perform activities of daily life. Considering the evidence that exists regarding diseases that are related to l decreased ability to self - care and increased caregiver burden figures and future projections to a likely collapse of the health system in developing countries. The idea that arises is to propose methods and strategies which can systematize the wealth of experience sustained over time, and study in depth how the act owers in elderly cambi RAN a poor self - reported health and little capacity for self care to better results through a strengthening l as executive functions, which are part of the higher cognitive functions and present changes in aging. The activity of these functions play a fundamental role in cognitive functioning, since they contribute to the person's learning, self-management, decision-making, projecting, planning, programming, among other important skills for daily performance.1 This from the coexistence and discussion of experiences and SPECIFY an end. P osibilidad to act as a mentor in structuring in the clas is geriatrics in conjunction with a specialist, based on the real needs of the elderly, focusing on quality of life, make original activities and show strategies to develop skills that are creative attribute
- Search for strategies in developing specialized studies in geriatrics to overcome the crisis level p psychological and neurological as evidenced by anxiety, lack of motivation, insomnia, depression, loneliness, and which is positioned in the "collective imagination of agents"7 due to old concepts in speech3 it is holding onto old age. It is considered that the crisis alluded generally can be decreased from strategies based on latent creativity of the subject; Referring to latent creativity, we are talking about attributes that are present but not manifest. In this case we are facing a patient- actor who shows repression in communication skills, by a society that minimizes the capabilities of the elderly. A strategy that is developed from studies classroom through didactic consider the actor as another and not as a child whom we should teach again but as a wise, c on this welfare would be increased confidence, and Maybe it's the possibility of new investigations.
From this point of view we must consider that the current global economic system can provide host to the old players still need to analyze factors such as hope of life, chronic disease prevalence and timely treatment, since successful aging should be a source of wisdom and experience that is relevant to the functioning of society. Considering the experience of subjects (as mentors) for organization and conceptual scaffolding relevant in the planning of programs to advance in geriatric study. By taking this into account, ra ra aid and raises the numbers of self-reported health, or not the most used in the literature to assess the overall adult health indicators seniors in studies population (measured in five categories: excellent, mu and good, good, fair, poor).6 The approach is to consider the experience held by the agents as a possibility of reactivation with respect to the attributes that sustain a creative agent that impacts the immediate external environment.
Conclusion
Programming and development of curricula in the health area underestimate the approach of possible phenomena to study and analyze from their mainstreaming and social applicability as creativity to encourage the attitudes patients and behaviors that help a good living, to care for self , positioning of wisdom as a source of creativity. Is pre ciso taking the players (patients) as an input in research from a less active and passive position. An essential principle is the involving them in the construction of knowledge from the wealth of experience in human development, focusing with the specialist to identify and describe the skills that point to creativity. These increase the welfare state and autonomy. Creativity as an emergence of attributes of the human being emerges from a wealth of knowledge rich in meaningful experiences. The considerations expressed in this context only intend to open the discussion in the training for geriatrics due to the importance of giving wisdom and creativity in human development.
