This document discusses how to increase creativity through developing knowledge, creative thinking, and motivation. It identifies three elements of creativity: 1) Knowledge - learning new things from different fields, people, and setting goals to learn; 2) Creative thinking - believing everyone can be creative through trial and error, focusing on solutions rather than problems, and putting new perspectives on old ideas; 3) Motivation - surrounding yourself with positive people, learning from successful individuals, and increasing self-esteem by acting on your ideas. The overall message is creativity can be developed through life-long learning, thinking flexibly, and maintaining motivation.
