Editor's Notes
- How long can we live without ideas? Physical brain can create abstract ideas. Everyone is equally gifted. No physical deficiency that prevents one from getting ideas. Nothing called ideation talent, or laser beam like insight, or anything extraordinary. Not true that some see order where others see chaos. If necessity is the mother of invention, creativity is the father; necessity and creativity together make the most ideal atmosphere for generating new ideas.
- What is an idea? Difficult to define, such as what is a tiger? Everybody knows what a tiger is, but it is very difficult to say what it is. There is nothing unusual about creative activity. – Bronowski Getting a new idea is like creating a new recipe. It does not require genius, or a Nobel laureate, or an advertising hotshot or a first class inventor.
- “ Full many a gem of ray serene/ The dark unfathomed oceans bear Full many a flower born to blush unseen/ And waste its sweetness in the air”
- How can we get more ideas, more frequently. Those who know ideas exist, come up with ideas. Those who don’t believe ideas exist, don’t come up with them.
- Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. And what else could be half of thirteen. Search for more answers, newer answers. You are full of ideas.
- The more you rack your brains, the more you search, the more you dare, the more you explore, the more you try, the more answers you will find. It does not stop here. Continue thinking about this. Ask your friends, your relatives, your mother, your children, your teachers, your neighbors, your strangers, everybody and anybody. More important than any of these, ask yourself, as frequently and as repeatedly as possible. Every time, come up with a different answer.
- Ramanujam solved a problem because he thought there was a solution. Real life problems are not like yes-no questions. They can be resolved in various ways. Arthur Koestler – the mere belief that a problem is soluble means half the game is won. If you have understood the question, you have earned half the marks. There is always another idea. Another solution. Accept it. Edison believed, he knew, there were ideas in the air. So he found them.
- Some people believe that they are surrounded by ideas. They are the ones who get them. Getting an idea doesn’t depend upon the time, the place or the occasion – what you are eating, how you are dressed, when you have time to think. Ideas can occur anytime, anywhere, to anybody – when you are eating your lunch, when you are taking your bath, when you are riding your bike, as long as you believe they exist. Believe. Ideas do exist.
- Long ago I used to tell my students that for every problem there was a solution, I was wrong. Now I know that for every problem, there are many solutions, may be thousands, may be innumerable. I was worried about the quick exhausting repertoire of filmi tunes. 1200 different kinds of barbed wire. Recipe books – countless in number. Lions International Peace Poster Contest – in 190 countries – several thousands of entries every year. In 1931, Lincoln Steffen said nothing in this world is done yet.Everything remains to be accomplished still. There is so much more to do. The best poem is not yet written. The best book is not yet written.The best athlete is not yet born. The best structure is not yet built. The perfect railroad, the perfect roadway, the perfect television, the perfect microphone are awaiting you. Every subject is waiting for a Darwin of Newton. Nothing is done yet. Everything awaits you. Students in colleges are told what is known, this is nothing.
- There are many different factors contributing to creation of new ideas. These are some. Let us see each one of them in detail. What is thinking afresh?
- Joke: Write in your own words. Joke: Write an assay on Cow. James Thurber – going a different way in the NCC parade. Puzzles, illusions are good examples of lateral thinking.
- Fun is the best way to get into the idea conditon. People with ideas are usually not serious. Humor and ideas go together. The best creative outputs are achieved by the teams that have the most fun. Ideas come where fun is, not the other way around. In every field people who enjoy doing what they are doing, do it best.
- Children break rules because they do not know there are rules. If it is not fun, why do it at all? If it is not fun, you are wasting your life.
- Comics and children’s literature are some wonderful resources of creativity.
- Children find extraordinary and exciting relationships among seemingly unrelated things. They paint trees orange, they hang cars in the sky. They study intently a blade of grass, a butterfly, a spoon with a sense of wonder – things that we take for granted. Children are natural born scientists – Carl Sagan They ask deep probing scientific questions – why is the sky blue, not orange, why do we have toes, why do we go to temples, why do not cars have petrol caps on either side, why do we not have foot pedals for all taps, why do not refrigerators have pullout drawers, why does a certain TC look like it its, why something is the way it is. As they grow older, they lose that curiosity and get used to the routine and hardly ask questions. Neil Postman said children enter schools as question marks and leave as periods. Become a question mark again.
- Become a child again. Ask yourself why something is the way it is. If you don’t find an answer that makes sense to you, there is room for improvement. Let the child in you come out. Be not afraid. Ask yourself – how you would solve a problem if you were just six or four.
- It may be anything. It depends on how look at it and what you look for.
- We don’t know one millionth of one percent about anything, Example: a meatpacker was asked a million question before ‘another session’ of questions. Don’t skip this. This is very important. Gather information from every possible source.
- When we did not play the game we did not see any. When we are not looking for it, we don’t find any. When we look for the white car, we see it all over. When I decided to a buy a new car, I saw them everywhere. Seeing is just keeping your eyes open. It doesn’t require an effort. But looking is different. It requires effort and commitment. Discover the magic of looking. Drop your heads down and recall what and how much have you seen. Keep your eyes open. If there is nothing physical that prevents you from learning painting, there must be something mental that prevents you from doing it. – Hal Silverman Buy a good note book, write in it everyday something that you saw that day. Once a month sit down and read what you have written. When the book is full, fill another, yet another – all your life.
- Difficult to say how to get courage, but you must get courage. Courage is not the absence of fear, it is the ability to move forward in spite of being afraid, in spite of the danger lurking, in spite of the despair.
- Every time your idea is rejected, you find a new opportunity to improve upon it. Every failure is a stepping stone. You can always get another idea – maybe a better one. Today, as an author, essayist, playwright, screenwriter, lecturer, poet and visionary, Ray Bradbury is known as one of America's greatest creative geniuses
- Original ideas can challenge fundamental issues. They question beliefs, values, established principles. Original ideas can change things drastically. Everyone is afraid, everyone. We cannot propose new ideas without offending some, without risking disapproval, or outright rejection.
- Take a chance. Combine things in a way they were never combined before. If you don’t take a chance, you don’t get the idea.
- If speed is the major advantage of your product, ask what is the slowest, what is the fastest, what is the most convenient, what is the unique.Its economy, dependability, durability, simplicity.
- The greatest of the achievement in science or arts or any field are the result of breaking the rules. Rules etched in the minds of people.
- What if this product were smaller, larger, thinner, fatter, faster, slower, darker, brighter, a different color, cheaper, costlier, more convenient, less convenient. If it were a person,if it were an animal.
