Growing up we learn that we need to follow the rules if we want to stay out of trouble. There is a good reason for rules, but not when it comes to creativity. If we want to figure out solutions to problems and come up with new ideas we need to break the old patterns of thinking.Once we get out of school our thinking is pretty well set and we are used to following rules, respecting authority, and following what everyone else says is right.

Or did they turn into a different person from the time you interviewed them?The key to any successful business is recruiting, choosing, and keeping hard working people.

Creativity is the foundation of progress. Not all people posses this character trait. Those who are creative are normally not content with the status quo. They dont think the same way as others who dont have creativity. They use their minds in a unique and different way. Sometimes they may be looked down on by society and labeled as different because of the difference in the way that they do business.The creative person has the ability to see more than what others see in any given situation. He or she is not bound by the mental limits that society has put on them. As a matter of fact the limits of society may be a point of friction. Let me use myself as an example. I was not good in math in high school or ever yet I was always placed in the more advanced math classes. I never could get the process of problem solving down pat. Sometimes I would solve the problem, but when the teacher would ask me to explain how I did it I never could, I just did it.What was happening here was that mentally I could not be tied down to the process that they were showing me. My mind wouldnt bend into mechanically performing the task by just following a list of rules....more
