Curiosity

Curiosity (from Latin curiosus "careful,

diligent, curious," akin to cura "care") is a

quality related to inquisitive thinking such as

exploration, investigation, and learning,

evident by observation in human and

many animal species.[1][2] The term can also

be used to denote the behavior itself being

caused by the emotion of curiosity. As this

emotion represents a thirst for knowledge,

curiosity is a major driving force behind

scientific research and other disciplines of

human study.

"I have no special gift. I am

only passionately curious."

– Einstein, quoted in Thorpe, Scott, How to Think Like Einstein, Barnes & Noble

Books, Inc., 2000, p. 115.

Creativity

Creativity is a phenomenon whereby

something new and valuable is

created (such as an idea, a joke, an

artistic or literary work, a painting or

musical composition, a solution, an

invention etc.). The ideas and

concepts so conceived can then

manifest themselves in any number of

ways, but most often, they become

something we can see, hear, smell,

touch, or taste.

The range of scholarly interest in creativity includes a

multitude of definitions and approaches involving

several disciplines; psychology, cognitive science,

education, philosophy (particularly philosophy of

science),

technology, theology, sociology, linguistics, business

studies, songwriting and economics, taking in the

relationship between creativity and general

intelligence, mental and neurological processes

associated with creativity, the relationships between

personality type and creative ability and between

creativity and mental health, the potential for fostering

creativity through education and training, especially

as augmented by technology, and the application of

creative resources to improve the effectiveness of

learning and teaching processes.

"Could the answers you've been seeking be on the other side of your head? Your brain is really two brains. You use one of them more, but the other brain is just as clever in a different way. It too has been diligently gathering information on your problem, and may have a solution for you. However, because of your dominant brain, the other brain has had trouble making its opinions known. Give your other brain an avenue to express its ideas. To divine a solution from your other brain, switch hands and techniques... If you use words to examine problems, switch to pictures. Use words if you think visually... If you have been trying to solve your problem objectively, you might have a completely different perspective if you become emotional about it instead."

– Thorpe, Scott, How to Think Like Einstein, Barnes & Noble Books, Inc., 2000, p. 104-105.

Creativity and Doing Creativity and doing can be expressed as a

mathematical expression (a function, f ):

Creativity = f (attitude x knowledge x imagination x evaluation)

– Noller, Ruth (quoted in Exploring the Nature of Creativity, Jon Michael Fox and Ronni Lea Fox, Kendall/Hunt Publishing Co., 2000, p.13.

3 Paths Toward A More

Creative Life

Innovation

Innovation is the application of better solutions that

meet new requirements, unarticulated needs, or existing

market needs. This is accomplished through more

effective products, processes, services, technologies,

or ideas that are readily available to markets,

governments and society. The term innovation can be

defined as something original and, as consequence, new

that "breaks into" the market or society. One usually

associates to new phenomena that are important in some

way. A definition of the term, in line with these aspects,

would be the following: "An innovation is something

original, new, and important—in whatever field—that

breaks in to (or obtains a foothold in) a market or

society".[1]

While something novel is often described as an

innovation, in economics, management science, and

other fields of practice and analysis it is generally

considered a process that brings together various novel

ideas in a way that they have an impact on society.

Innovation differs from invention in that innovation

refers to the use of a better and, as a result, novel idea

or method, whereas invention refers more directly to

the creation of the idea or method itself.

Innovation differs from improvement in that innovation

refers to the notion of doing something different rather

than doing the same thing better.

You can’t connect the dots looking

forward, you can only connect them

looking backwards. So you have to

trust that the dots will somehow

connect in your future.

Steve Jobs

Sir Richard Branson has a mantra that

runs through the DNA of his companies.

The mantra is A-B-C-D (Always Be

Connecting Dots)

In his manifesto Stop Stealing Dreams, Seth Godin wrote how

students today are educated in collecting dots. Almost none of it

spent teaching them the skills necessary to connect dots. The

magic of connecting dots tis that once you learn the techniques,

the dots can change but you’ll still be good at connecting them

Innovation is simply

connecting the dots

And we will learn how to connect them

trough knowledge and experiences, both in

reality or in our imagination

"The wireless telegraph is not difficult to

understand. The ordinary telegraph is

like a very long cat. You pull the tail in

New York and it meows in Los Angeles.

The wireless is the same, only without the

cat."

– Einstein, Albert, quoted in Thorpe, Scott, How to Think Like Einstein, Barnes & Noble

Books, Inc., 2000, p. 61.

increasing your knowledge and

experiences”

Imagination

http://guardianlv.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/1298-albert-einstein-imagination-wallpaper-wallchan.jpg

Imagination, also called the faculty

of imagining, is the ability to form

new images and sensations that are

not perceived through senses such as

sight, hearing, or other senses.

Imagination helps make knowledge

applicable in solving problems and is

fundamental to integrating

experience and the learning

process[1][2][3][4]

Curiosity sparks knowledge,

Knowledge sparks creativity,

Creativity sparks innovation

And all of of them are

growing well on a disciplined

and practiced IMAGINATION Curio - Creativity Workout

The objective of CURIO Creative

Workout is optimizing the power of

imagination as an incubation of

ideas.

1. Pattern Recognition

2. Pattern Continuation

3. Pattern Co-creation

This imagination training programs

were designed for developing these

3 main creativity skills

Benefits of working using disciplined

and well practiced imagination

With a disciplined and practiced save a lot

of time and energy to do a lot of

experimental work, like drafting, sketching,

transforming, connecting and composing

objects to solve majority of problems.

Physical record or documentation by using tolls

only used for recording significant progress or

documenting patterns as the result on experiment.

And it is also can be used to magnify further work of

imagination

Then we simply only need to turn on your

PC or gadget or even take paper only if

necessary. It will reduce our dependencies

on using tools to solve problems and

questions.

We can easily start working while we waking up

and open our eyes, while jogging, taking a shower,

in your way to office, listening music, waiting the

buss, staying in the queue and many moments that

we usually waste them.

Working with imagination will significantly

save your time and energy

And the biggest challenge is preparing a

disciplined and practiced imagination that

easily to controlled and adjusted into

desired mode.

And the biggest challenge is shaping a

disciplined and practiced imagination that

easily to controlled and adjusted into any

desired mode base on necessity.

And that type of IMAGINATION only

shaped by routine, programmed and

persistent workout.

Pattern Recognition

Pattern Recognition

Having an attitude to listen more and

lowering our filter inhibition of mind. More

listening will let more knowledge entering

our mind then it will enlarge the number of

collections in our patterns library

Willing to enrich knowledge trough our

own experiences and others

Enhance ability to recognize any kinds of

patterns from any objects

Pattern Continuation

Pattern Continuation

Enhance persistence on mastering both

recognizing and continuing pattern

Enhance flexibility to fit in to any kind of

pattern or situation

Enhance ‘Fill in the gap’ ability

Pattern Co-Creation

Pattern Co-Creation

Keeping motivation and spirit on exploring new

pattern with deeper meaning and higher values

Growing confidence on producing, sharing and

implementing the ideas

Enhancing fluency, originality and

elaboration on giving response for every

stimulus pattern. Fluency – The total number of interpretable, meaningful and

relevant ideas generated in response to the stimulus.

Originality – The statistical rarity of the responses among the

test subjects.

Elaboration – The amount of detail in the responses.

(Guilford's work, Torrance[46] developed the Torrance Tests of

Creative Thinking in 1966.[47])

Having a disciplined and well

practiced imagination is looks

like having super big and

sophisticated workshop,

or a huge laboratory, or a

gigantic canvas.
