I Has a Creative

Job of the day was to take them to a creativity workshop at Taylor's Uni-College. They had 3 activities, the first of which was a talk, which I like best among the 3, perhaps because, though they had given it before and I had stumbled on some of the points once or twice before, I hadn't had the chance to sit through it. The following are some of what I got from it.

# the Petronas Twin Towers is worth USD4 billion, while Google, USD80 billion.
# Queen E, whose family has ruled Britain for 400 years, has USD420 million, while JK Rowling, has made USD1 billion in 12 years.
# The Iron Man comics have made up to date USD650 million since 1963
# Hello Kitty has, up to 2006, made USD500 million

How to get more creative:

.

1. Look for more than one answer to everything. Instead of asking, "What's the answer?", ask, "What are the possible results?"

If this question was asked, "Twelve?" and the answer was, "Six."

And the answer to, "Six?", was "Three."

What do you think the answer to, "Three?" would be?
The correct answer is, "Five." The answer has to do with the number of letters that spell the numbers, not their division by 2. :D

.

2. Be a Pattern Breaker.

Do things differently from what is usual. Some pattern breakers include Beethoven and Dick Flosbury. (You can google them to find out why they're pattern breakers.)

.
3. Open Up Your Mind

What is 1 + 1 ?

Google it and you will find more than 1000 answers to this simple question.

.

4. Don't Give Up

Thomas Edison tried more than 900 times before the light bulb worked.

How to Stay Young

Author Unknown

Illustrated by My Kittykins and Friends

1. Throw out non-essential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them.

2. Keep cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.




3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.





4. Enjoy the simple things.





5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.





6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is God. Be alive while you are alive.





7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.






8. Cherish your health. If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.





9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the next county, to a foreign country, but not to where the guilt is.





10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.





And always remember: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

I'm Electric

Usually after driving and when I get out of the car, I often get (static) electric shocks when I touch the outside handle of my car door. And you can even hear the electrons snapping. Sometimes I even get it a second time when I touch the gate to open it.

Funny. But can get quite annoying though. Especially when it's extra painful sometimes. I guess when the voltage is extra high. Dunno if other people get static shocks as often as I do. I never used to have this at all and suddenly I'm getting it daily nowadays. Wonder why.
