Improve Your ‘Creativity Quotient’.
It is better to have enough ideas for some of them
to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.
– Edward de Bono
These days we hear about
Intelligent Quotient (IQ), Emotional Quotient (EQ) etc. Have you thought about
‘Creativity Quotient’? Lot of
researchers and scholars across the world are trying to do some research on
this subject. Leave out all those jargons! Are you a creative person? Do you
want to be thinking differently?
A few days ago, in one of my
‘IGNITE’ seminars, a participant asked me how to improve his creativity. Here
is my answer: Creativity is a function of the Right Side of our brain. We can
trigger the Right Hemisphere through ‘Brain Gym’ exercises. Log on to any
search engines and you can get simple Brain Gym exercises. Spend 10 to 15
minutes a day doing simple Brain Gym exercises.
Become inquisitive to think
creatively. Instead of following a beaten track, ask yourself: ‘why should I
not think in this way’? Try to find an alternative solution to simple everyday
problems. Read books written by Edward De Bono, who came out with the
breakthrough concept called ‘lateral thinking’.
From today,
spend at least 45 minutes per day to think differently! Let your creativity
sprout and grow!
