The following eight strategies encourage you to think
productively, rather than reproductively, in order to arrive at solutions
to problems. "These strategies are common to the thinking styles of
creative geniuses in science, art, and industry throughout history."
1. Look at problems in many different ways, and
find new perspectives that no one else has taken (or no one else has
publicized!)
3. Produce! A distinguishing characteristic of
genius is productivity.
4. Make novel combinations. Combine, and
recombine, ideas, images, and thoughts into different combinations no
matter how incongruent or unusual.
5. Form relationships; make connections between
dissimilar subjects.
8. Prepare yourself for chance.
