 "The
best things in life are nearest : Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes,
flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you.Then
do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain
that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life." --
Robert Louis Stevenson. "
Creative thinking exercises, mind mapping,
brainstorming,
and other techniques all serve to tap the vast creative and "revolutionary"
thought resource residing between your ears. Take 10 minutes to tap your mind about
the greatest challenge you are facing right now. I prefer to use a tape recorder,
although brainstorming or mind mapping on a piece of paper is fine.
1. Sit in a quiet place where
you won't be distracted. 2. State your challenge. (Or write it if using paper.)
3. Let it flow! Think about the challenge in every way possible. Do not censor
any thoughts. Your purpose is not to evaluate the ideas that are flowing through
your mind, simply to record them.
4. After the 10 minutes are up, go back and evaluate the ideas that you recorded.
Think about how you could take advantage of the idea to run past your challenge.
This is just one simple method to
stimulate unconventional solutions and ideas. Like everything else, the techniques
become much more effective with practice. Knowledge is worthless if not put to consistent
and purposeful use. - Michael A. Wineke, Empowerment Now!
