Thinking is the most prominent mental activity present in man. All human achievements and progress are simply the products of thought. The development of culture, art, literature, science and technology are all the results of thinking.
Dr. Edward de Bono says that thinking CAN be improved just like any skill because thinking according to him is a skill.
Nine approaches to creative problem solving:
- Rethink! Look at problems in many different ways.
- Visualize! Utilize diagrams and imagery to analyze your dilemma.
- Produce! Genius is productive.
- Combine! Make novel combination...
- Form! Form relationships.
- Opposite! Think in opposites.
- Metaphor/simile! Think metaphorically.
- Failure! Learning from your mistakes is one example of using failure.
- Patience! Don't confuse inspiration with ideas
