The Real Secret of Creativity

Hi,

I am conducting the Creativity Trip right now in Zhong Shan. There are around 20 participants from Hong Kong and several from Zhong Shan joining us.

As promised, we are not learning common creativity skills here.

If real creativity ideas are uncommon ideas, how can we get something uncommon from something common?!

But the key point of the workshop is not about skills. Skill is just the "Body" of creativity. Without "Mind", there is no real creativity.

What is the "Mind" of the creative skills?

Intelligence!

A creative person is not a person with skills. Don't you find many people who had learned all those creativity skills but still not being creative! They lack the "Mind" of creativity.

An intelligent person is creative.

But how can we make ourselves more intelligent?

Simple, by accumulating more Intelligence!

Intelligence is not Information. When someone can't tell you how many cm is 1 mile, but he does knows 1 mile = 1,760 yard,1 yard = 3 feet, 1 metre = 3.28 feet, 1 metre = 100 cm, then he has a lot of Information but not enough Intelligence!

Acumulating Intelligence is the finding of Links within Information.

Start your accumulation today for a "Creative You" tomorrow!
