BOOK DESCRIPTION:
A personal development and practical book which aims to help one become more of a creative thinker; it develops your understanding of the creative process and aids one become more confident in oneself as a creative person.
FEW LESSONS FROM THE BOOK:
1. Creativity may not be completely new, rather putting two raw materials together to form greatness.
2. Imagination is the core quality of a creative thinker. It is the key part of any successful invention.
3. Familiarity breeds conformity which is the killer of creativity. Viewing familiar things strangely has brought to light different new creations just like the aircraft that is familiar to the ‘big bird’.
4. Serendipity has given birth to many discoveries. Acceptance of unexpected thoughts paves way for greater rewards. Remember, sometimes we never know what we are looking for until we find it.
5. Eagerness and desire to know more burns in every creative mind and questioning oneself in order to find answers is a step toward doing great things.
6. Our eyes are the most fascinating feature given to human existence. Develop the ability to see the world differently with a more detailed observation. For those eyes are the materials for future creative thinking.
7. Reading is beyond flipping the pages of a book; it's the in-depth understanding of what the book intends to pass.
8. Humans tend to forget a lot but also tend to remember what is written down. Always write down those ideas no matter how wrong or unworthy they seem.
