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

If you have ideas, you are creative.

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.
