I invented nothing new.I simply assembled thediscoveries of other menbehind whom werecenturies of work...Henry Ford 7. Creativity | time to think 8. PEN + NOTECARD 9. Creativity | change your perspective 10. Be extravagant.Destroy the most important thing.Do nothing for as long as possible.How would you explain this to your parents?List the qualities it has.Not building a wall but making a brick.State the problem in words as simply as possible.Turn it upside down.Your mistake was a hidden intention.How would someone else do it? 11. Creativity | courage to fail 12. I have not failed. Ive just found 10,000 ways thatwont workI am not discouraged, because everywrong attempt discarded is another step forward. 13. I made 5127 prototypes of my vacuum before I got itright. There were 5126 failures. But I learned from eachone. Thats how I came up with a solution. So I dontmind failure. Ive always thought that schoolchildrenshould be marked by the number of failures theyvehad. The child who tries strange things andexperiences lots of failures to get there is probablymore creative 14. It can take a very long time to develop interestingproducts and get them right. But our society has aninstant-gratification thing. We admire instant brilliance,effortless brilliance. I think quite the reverse. Youshould admire the person who perseveres and slogsthrough and gets there in the end. 15. Creativity | conflict + critique 16. Creativity | subtraction 17.
