\"Hoe<\/p>\r\n

Creativity makes you look at the world differently and see different things. George\nBernard Shaw put it this way: \u201cSome people see things as they are and wonder: why? I see things that are not there and I wonder why not?<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. Ask questions. Ask the right questions that can lead to creativity. Why should it be done this way? What is the cause of it issue? What is the opposite? What is important? What does this remind me of? What happens if we don\u2019t do it at all?

    <\/li>\r\n
  2. Dream. Martin Luther King talked about: I have a dream. He did not say: I have a goal. Dreams are more inspiring than goals. Goals give direction, dreams give strength.

    <\/li>\r\n
  3. Find allies. Try to find people and an environment where creativity is able to flourish. A new idea is delicate. It can be killed like that by a sneer, being stabbed to death by a\njoke or shunned by a dubious look. Creativity is contagious. Notice what happens when you brainstorm: the one idea inspires another.

    <\/li>\r\n
  4. Give permission. Studies on creativity show that the main stimulus in companies to support creativity is: getting the impression that it is allowed. As innovation and change are openly being encouraged, creativity flourishes. Ask for that permission. Or give it yourself.

    <\/li>\r\n
  5. Read. Try reading something completely different from the genre you normally read.\nHave your books recommended by friends, the bookseller and the newspaper.

    <\/li>\r\n
  6. Renew. Make something different. It doesn't always have to be a completely new invention\nto be. Sam Weston, the creator of the action figure GI Joe, has learned: \"really landslide ideas are very rare, but you do not necessarily have to invent the wheel. My definition of creativity is: the logical combination of existing elements that result in a new concept. '

    <\/li>\r\n
  7. Move. Go on a journey, visit other parts of the world, of your country, of your\ncity, your home or your head.

    <\/li>\r\n
  8. Draw outside the lines. Inventor Charles Kettering said, \"All human development, in whatever form, happens outside of the rules, otherwise nothing new would ever come.\" Most people stay within the lines, even if those lines are random or outdated, or have imposed limits on themselves. If you want to be more creative, you have to let go of those limits every now and then. Multi-Oscar winner Katharine Hepburn puts it this way: \"If you just stick to the rules, you'll miss all the fun.\"<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>
