Time and Focus
Perhaps more than any other kind of thinking, creative thinking builds on itself and increases the creativity
of the thinker. Poet Maya Angelou observed, “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.
Sadly, too often creativity is smothered rather than nurtured. There has to be a climate in which new ways of
thinking, perceiving, questioning are encouraged.” If you cultivate creative thinking in an environment that
nurtures creativity, there’s no telling what kind of ideas you can come up with. (I’ll talk more on that later.)
3. Creative Thinking Draws People to You and Your Ideas
Creativity is intelligence having fun. People admire intelligence, and they are always attracted to fun—so
the combination is fantastic. If anyone could be said to have fun with his intelligence, it was Leonardo da Vinci.
The diversity of his ideas and expertise staggers the mind. He was a painter, architect, sculptor, anatomist,
musician, inventor, and engineer. The term
Renaissance man was coined because of him.
Just as people were drawn to Da Vinci and his ideas during the Renaissance, they are drawn to creative
people today. If you cultivate creativity, you will become more attractive to other people, and they will be drawn
to you.
