18、 the very hot issue: creative thinking, which is especially important for college students. Whether you personally believe it or not, we are all creative by nature. Every one of us. Think back to when you were a child and there will lay all the proof you need to realize this simple fact. The problem
19、 is that creative thinking is something thats not emphasized or developed enough in secondary education. Its encouraged in primary school, but slowly discouraged later on as you are taught to follow instruction instead. The irony here is that creative thinking is one of the most important skills tha
20、t you will ever develop in your life and its one of the only things that humans will ever have a monopoly on. No animal or supercomputer can compare to the human capability of creative thinking. Creative thinking is a critical life skill and its the byproducts of creative thinking that make it such
21、an important skill worth developing. Creative thinking helps in all areas of your life. To illustrate, lets look at one component of your life, namely work as it takes up a majority of your time to show this simple fact. At the beginning, one of the most important point is that creativity will alway
22、s be in demand, regardless of what industry youre working in. Its cross marketable and if youve developed your creative thinking skills to a point where you can draw upon it at any time, its one of those things that will give you the edge that really differentiates yourself from other people. If you
23、 think about it, most jobs out there are “systemized“, meaning that each person is trained to engage in repetitive activity. Businesses want to profit and in order to profit, they have to develop efficient systems where each worker is doing their part well and in order to do their part well, they mu
24、st be constantly executing roughly the same set of procedures. Anybody can execute a given set of procedures with training, but it takes creative thinking to generate what that procedure should be in the first place. Because of that, developing creative thinking skills is one of the quickest ways to
25、 get to the top of your respective field because instead of following procedure, you initiate and create it. By utilizing your creative thinking, you can present those ideas and more often than not, if approved by management, you will be the one initiating and creating a new set of procedures to fol
26、low. So instead of following the repetitive system that was laid before you, you lead thanks to your creative thinking. You implement your ideas and as you do, you start to absorb new knowledge and experiences that will help you further down the road. You start separating yourself from other people
27、and what this does is it starts to open a whole new set of opportunities. Secondly, creative thinking is the key that opens doors to a whole new realm of opportunities. Look at what the Internet did. The airplane. The automobile. The opportunities that resulted from these creative endeavors are coun
28、tless. Everywhere you look, you see the end result of mans creative thinking at work. When you use creative thinking, you create opportunities all around you. So as you start researching time management, health and fitness, business and finance, and use your creative thinking to “stitch“ together th
29、e knowledge youve acquired and implement the ideas that result, which creates opportunities that seem to come pouring into your life. You spend more time with the wife and kids, have a happier home atmosphere, you have more energy thanks to your diet and exercise, you save money and create an additi
30、onal stream of income that you use to finance a side business youre working on, you meet people that can help you with your business at the gym and network with them, etc. The opportunities will come thanks to the fruits of your creative thinking. Thirdly, creative thinking promotes initiative and o
31、ptimism. To be more specific, creative thinking gets you out of playing a passive role and puts you in more aggressive mode. A strong sense of personal responsibility and initiative gets instilled and that in turn, really makes you feel “alive“ because you feel firmly in control of your life. With t
32、hat newfound strong sense of initiative, you become less of a pessimist and more of an optimist because even if a problem represents itself, you know you have the creative faculty to figure out what the solution is. As a result, in a world where change is so constant, creative thinking becomes one o
33、f the best ways to cope with it. Creative thinking is one of the most important ways you can develop that initiative of doing it yourself. So take the initiative and see what path creative thinking leads you on. So whats the easiest way to develop creative thinking skills? Its to take seriously your
34、 ideas and implement them. When you do, you give a subtle signal to yourself that implies your ideas are worth it, and when you implement those ideas and see the opportunities and the beneficial byproducts that ensue, youll then know the true power of creative thinking. Encourage and breathe life in
35、to it. Do not stifle it. Let it soar free. To sum up, creative thinking is one of the best skills you will ever develop in your lifetime and the great thing about it is you already have it within you.
