Creative Thinking

        I have to admit. It's not easy to being a creative person. However, I had learn a lot in CTIG's class. 

Creative Thinking

A way of looking at problems or situations from a fresh perspective that suggests unorthodox solutions

The most important part of  creative thinking is my ability to generate ideas.  And the greater the quantity of ideas that I generate, the greater the quality my ideas will be.  The more ideas I have, the more likely I have the right idea at the right time. However, it's really hard for me. As Thomas Edison once wrote, “Genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.”

Besides that, the first quality is that creative thinkers are intensely curious.  They are always asking questions.  They ask questions like “Why?” very much like children do all the time. Then they ask, “Why not?”  “Why can’t we do it?”  “Even if it hasn’t been done before, can it be done now?” I think that is a way to get some inspiration by asking questions.

 The most valuable lesson that I had learn in CTIG's class is to admit when I'm wrong and continue to learn.   Because truly intelligent, highly creative people are open minded, fluid, flexible and willing to both change their mind and admit that they are wrong when their earlier decisions turn out to be incorrect.
