If you re a creative person, you can expect to fail a lot before you succeed. Thomas Edison failed more than 1,000 times before he finally figured out how to make the first electric light. If you re a boss, tolerate bad ideas. Bad ideas are often the basis for good ideas. Look beyond the ordinary.
Creative people see things differently.
Thousands of years ago, an enterprising person in China contemplated the amazing natural tensile strength of the fiber from a worm s cocoon. The silk industry was born. Hang out with people not like yourself. Creative thinking is often the product of wide experience, exposure and education. Aim your creative talents at real targets.
