  1. CREATIVITY Thinking Like a Genius

  2. Steps to Creativity • Rethink! • Visualize! • Produce! • Combine! • Form! • Opposite! • Metaphors/Simile! • Failure! • Patience!

  3. Rethink! • Rethink! • Look at problems in many different ways. • Find new perspectives that no one else has taken. Example: Finding a job or internship: • Ask friends or colleagues for potential leads • Over-sell yourself • Send samples of your work or portfolio to anyone that might respond. • Check local resources like Craigslist or your school's job search • Broaden your target audience. • Evaluate other fields could you specialize in?

  4. Visualize • Visualize • Utilize diagrams and imagery to analyze your dilemma. • How can you use pictures, images, graphs, etc. in your studies? • Visit guides on concept or mind maps, picturing vocabulary, flashcards, etc. dsfgf

  5. Produce! • Produce! • Genius is productive. • Perhaps originality is not the key, but rather constant application of thought and tools to arrive a solutions. • Genius is nothing but a great aptitude for patience. --George-Louis Leclerc de Buffon (1707–1788) French naturalist

  6. Combine! • Combine! • Make novel combinations... • Combine and recombine ideas, images, and thoughts into different combinations no matter how incongruent or unusual

  7. Form! • Form! • Form relationships. • Make connections between dissimilar subjects. • This doesn't always apply to objects: form relationships with people and ask them questions! • Get to know people in your field that can help you excel to the best of your ability

  8. Opposites! • Opposites! • Think in opposites. • Don't always stick with the obvious solutions. • Get outside of your comfort zone. • “Opposites” bring two approaches to a situation but they do share a basic similarity. Example: “right” and “left” are both directions, but which is the right choice?

  9. Metaphor/Simile! • Metaphor/Simile! • Think metaphorically. • Metaphors are connections that are unusual or not an ordinary way of thinking:  • A sea of troubles; the heart of a lion; raining cats and dogs. • Similes use "like" or "as" to illustrate • The boy was as agile as a monkey. The miner's face was like coal. • The task was as easy as ABC. Dry like a raisin in the sun. You will complete an assignment that has you thinking in metaphor!

  10. Failure! • Failure! • Learning from your mistakes is one example of using failure. • As strange as it seems the human brain is a failure machine: it generates models of reality, acts on them, and adjusts or creates new, successful models based on failures. • From Daniel Coyle’s the Talent Code on Adam Bryant’s weekly interview: “ mistakes create unique conditions of high-velocity learning that cannot be matched by more stable, “successful” situations.”

  11. Patience! • Patience! • Take the time to think. • Don't confuse inspiration with ideas. • Apply your ideas with patience for the reward they may deserve.
