How to be Creative…? Let’s examine….


The Birth Place of Creativity

Mind is the forerunner

of all Inventions

- Bugs Tan

Due to its invisibility to our naked eyes, most people are ignorant of its present.


What is Creativity…?

Creativity is the result of the thinking ability in a person where he / she is able to conceptualize a thought or an idea in his / her mind which other people have not thought off yet.

Creative ideas are some form of thoughts that are not norm in the present moment of time.


What is Inventions…?

Invention is the results of some creative thoughts that have been turned from an idea into a new product or a new design or and new process.

An invention can also be some kind of a new process of making or manufacturing products and services.

An invention is something that has not been fully commercialized yet.


What is Innovations…?

An innovation is an invention that is new in the market,

It has been mass produced and also has found its way into the market place.

An innovation normally has some better features over similar product that are currently found in the market.

A new innovative product is normally a threat to the existing business.

The Staring Point of An Invention By the virtue of

identifying a problem, only can one have the opportunity to create something to solve a particular problem.

Definition of a Prototype

A prototype is a physical sample piece of work that enables you to see how the finished product would look like.

Such a prototype does not function like an actual product yet but it is a representative piece to provide you the look and feel of the shape that you have conceptualized earlier.

Having a prototype is almost like having a finished product in your hand except that it can’t function.

The Prototype of the Combo Spoon which are made of flour


Definition of a Working Model

A working model (or sometimes called a working unit) is the first sample unit that enables you to prove your concept (theory).

A working model is normally crude looking but what’s important is that you are able to see it worked according to what you have envisaged earlier

The making of a working model of the Light Weight Grating ‘working model” are normally hand-made and look crude


What is a patent…?

Patent gives you the rights over your ideas for 20 years.

The first person to file a patent

with the Patent Office is the rightful owner to that idea.

You do not need to have a working model or a prototype to file a patent. You can file a patent by just having an idea


Innovations are the Children of Creativity

When necessity is the mother for all inventions,

Then innovations are the children of creativity

- Bugs Tan

Necessity is the Mother for all invention- Plato


Parting Words… To my mind, an invention is a

creative gift from an inventor to human race. Every inventor creates a new invention with the purpose of improving our life, preserve the environment and making this world a better place for all.

With this noble aspirations, let’s join hands and do our part to make this dream come true.
