QUICK TIPS ABOUT CREATIVE GENIUS
Creative Genius... Who actually are they? What they possess? Why they always stand outside the stardom? These are some of the common questions which comes first after listening the word ‘Creative Genius'. Let's talk about them.
Basically Creative genius are those kind of people whose thinking ability are different from the normal ones. They sees things, thinks and act differently. They usually produces innovative and useful ideas and they have mastered the ability to ideate and create. They have the potential in them to change the world. All individuals can become creative genius by accessing their natural creativity, provided they really want their creativity to blossom. Here are some ways for the path of creation :
1. Be a Child
We grownup matured adults always tend to think in a conditioned manner to show our cleverness. We always give emphasis on 'thinking before saying'. Yet as a child, we were casual regarding thinking and more creative. A child never thinks before saying and express his/her real creativity.
2. Make new connections.
You don't need a college degree to be innovative; it just requires making a connection between existing ideas. For example : Did you know that ice cream was first introduced in 2000 BC? Was invented? But did it take anyone 3,900 years to come up with the idea of a cone? It's when you take two seemingly unrelated elements and use the spark of creativity that comes with genius.
3. Stop being so Logical
We always prefer solution for problem, answer for question, good for bad. We are used to tie everything in a need bundles. We ignored our illogical trait for the search of logic in everything. The journey of being logical made us limited. For being really creative, we need to be content for everything which don't even fir.
4. Laugh more often and find the reason of it
Tom Peters says that you can measure the creativity of a workplace with a Laughometer, i.e. how much one laughs. Humor is one of the greatest creative resources. It takes us out of our normal patterns and brings together ideas that shouldn't. It was found that students' ability to solve problems increases by 60% after listening to comedy tapes.
5. Think out of the box
Many of the products that we take for granted today are the result of people who think beyond their limits. A person recalls a computer conference during 1980s when someone joked that the next thing to think of was computer controlled doors. When he returned to the same hotel 20 years later, all doors were equipped with computer-programmed access cards.
6. Accept and adapt.
Being creative doesn't require blue-sky thinking. You can still get creative by tweaking what works elsewhere. An American airline that wanted faster reaction times on its flights adopted the techniques of the Formula 1 pit crews. Another source of ideas is nature. Georges de Mestral adapted the way certain seeds adhere to clothing and invented Velcro fasteners.
7. Remember your dreams
Dreaming and daydreaming can generate a wealth of ideas, because then we relax and leave the subconscious to itself. That's the right time to think something creative.
Apply these 7 creative thinking techniques and make them a part of your daily thinking and I guarantee that you will find new solutions to your problems quickly and easily.
