I was happy to join the specialized training class once again. The course was special because it required us to have a roll play. During the session, I realized that others were strong and they possessed good thinking skill. As for me, I looked so naïve. I could really learn from others. The class taught us to ask ‘what if’ and answer ‘what if’ questions. From this practice, I can prevent problems from happening and get an idea to solve them. I could also identify good observer from this class. Actually, we always observe others every day. However, after the process of observation, most people just halt there without any further filtration.

We learned how to think differently and also from a different point of view. Again, this has been a hurdle for me to overcome. Learning how to cluster problems is going to benefit me alot in the future and as we speak! Solving core problems with core solutions may work on paper but definately wont work in reality. So i guess clustering is really good. What if? What if? What if? This will also help any team in the planning and improving stage. And it willl come in handy in future projects.

quote "i dont know" from Edward. I used to be like him. Well, sometimes i still do answer like that. But during the course you conducted, i found out that most of the barriers listed out were what blocked me from thinking. except the fear of failure and also the executive stress. The comment you gave about me having to pressure myself so i can come out with an answer, i think it works at times only. Still cant get the juice flowing. And sometimes i feel i can get the answer but cant go any deeper into the answer i provide.

In Creative thinking class, I liked this class a lot because I feel the need to solve something, anything that would be interesting to play with, turns out to be a little challenging but not enough to satisfy my needs of interest. I and happy with this class and I am looking forward in attending it again. It basically shows me how I can think more effectively, efficiently and deadlier than before.

For the second class(my favourite), I was thought how to enhance our creativity, and thus making ourselves to be more "clever" so to speak. We tend to be very competitive but I don't mind, I like the challenges brought forth but still, it was not enough. Sadly, I won't be able to make it next week, but I will try to do so because I want to excel if possible. Hopefully it will be more interesting than ever though it is kind of interesting already.

first of all, didn’t know that creative thinking is so much to be covered. certainly learnt a lot and thinking few things from various points of views. other than that, using discoveries as another way of thinking is also very creative. some of the 10 ways to be creative is also very useful.


As for creative thinking, I agree on the 6 barrier of creative thinking. But I greatly appreciate that when I said I often say “I already know that”, you have me a solution of do not think ahead of the speaker, I think it’s quite useful. Although it’s hard, but I’ll try my best. =) this session gave me more thinking space at all issues =)

I though creative thinking is inborn talent. However, after the Creative Thinking class, I knew that creative thinking can be improved. When go through the class, I noticed that I am seriously lack of creative thinking skill. The 6 barriers that you mentioned really reflect the obstruction for me. I have to admit that I am over following rules, reliance on logic and short of imagination skill. Furthermore, I am quite stubborn and I think that it is a fatal wound for me to be creative as creative thinking has to think out of the box while I am over rule binding.

To get myself be creative, it is crucial to think out of the box. For most of the people, we tend to go around the same circle and not being able to jump out of the circle and see things from different angle. I guess this is the problem with overly rule binding person (me >_<). To overcome this, looking things from different angle is utmost important. To practise this, I guess experience plays a very important role. Then, as for the linking skills, I also did not think out of the box, that we can actually add more stuff in it to make the things more exciting and complete.

I m pretty agree with the idea of get more resources in the fundamental rule. this is because resources could make you gather more information, ideas, solve problems in a more detailed way, and outstand your long sighted ideas as compared to those short sighted ones. in addition, breaking problems into smaller clusters do help. however, one has to control his/her EQ first so that he/she can analyze the problems slowly and properly.
