Curiosity
Curiosity (from Latin curiosus "careful,
diligent, curious," akin to cura "care") is a
quality related to inquisitive thinking such as
exploration, investigation, and learning,
evident by observation in human and
many animal species.[1][2] The term can also
be used to denote the behavior itself being
caused by the emotion of curiosity. As this
emotion represents a thirst for knowledge,
curiosity is a major driving force behind
scientific research and other disciplines of
human study.
"I have no special gift. I am
only passionately curious."
– Einstein, quoted in Thorpe, Scott, How to Think Like Einstein, Barnes & Noble
Books, Inc., 2000, p. 115.
Creativity
Creativity is a phenomenon whereby
something new and valuable is
created (such as an idea, a joke, an
artistic or literary work, a painting or
musical composition, a solution, an
invention etc.). The ideas and
concepts so conceived can then
manifest themselves in any number of
ways, but most often, they become
something we can see, hear, smell,
touch, or taste.
The range of scholarly interest in creativity includes a
multitude of definitions and approaches involving
several disciplines; psychology, cognitive science,
education, philosophy (particularly philosophy of
science),
technology, theology, sociology, linguistics, business
studies, songwriting and economics, taking in the
relationship between creativity and general
intelligence, mental and neurological processes
associated with creativity, the relationships between
personality type and creative ability and between
creativity and mental health, the potential for fostering
creativity through education and training, especially
as augmented by technology, and the application of
creative resources to improve the effectiveness of
learning and teaching processes.
"Could the answers you've been seeking be on the other side of your head? Your brain is really two brains. You use one of them more, but the other brain is just as clever in a different way. It too has been diligently gathering information on your problem, and may have a solution for you. However, because of your dominant brain, the other brain has had trouble making its opinions known. Give your other brain an avenue to express its ideas. To divine a solution from your other brain, switch hands and techniques... If you use words to examine problems, switch to pictures. Use words if you think visually... If you have been trying to solve your problem objectively, you might have a completely different perspective if you become emotional about it instead."
– Thorpe, Scott, How to Think Like Einstein, Barnes & Noble Books, Inc., 2000, p. 104-105.
Creativity and Doing Creativity and doing can be expressed as a
mathematical expression (a function, f ):
Creativity = f (attitude x knowledge x imagination x evaluation)
– Noller, Ruth (quoted in Exploring the Nature of Creativity, Jon Michael Fox and Ronni Lea Fox, Kendall/Hunt Publishing Co., 2000, p.13.
3 Paths Toward A More
Creative Life

Innovation
Innovation is the application of better solutions that
meet new requirements, unarticulated needs, or existing
market needs. This is accomplished through more
effective products, processes, services, technologies,
or ideas that are readily available to markets,
governments and society. The term innovation can be
defined as something original and, as consequence, new
that "breaks into" the market or society. One usually
associates to new phenomena that are important in some
way. A definition of the term, in line with these aspects,
would be the following: "An innovation is something
original, new, and important—in whatever field—that
breaks in to (or obtains a foothold in) a market or
society".[1]
While something novel is often described as an
innovation, in economics, management science, and
other fields of practice and analysis it is generally
considered a process that brings together various novel
ideas in a way that they have an impact on society.
Innovation differs from invention in that innovation
refers to the use of a better and, as a result, novel idea
or method, whereas invention refers more directly to
the creation of the idea or method itself.
Innovation differs from improvement in that innovation
refers to the notion of doing something different rather
than doing the same thing better.

You can’t connect the dots looking
forward, you can only connect them
looking backwards. So you have to
trust that the dots will somehow
connect in your future.
Steve Jobs
Sir Richard Branson has a mantra that
runs through the DNA of his companies.
The mantra is A-B-C-D (Always Be
Connecting Dots)
In his manifesto Stop Stealing Dreams, Seth Godin wrote how
students today are educated in collecting dots. Almost none of it
spent teaching them the skills necessary to connect dots. The
magic of connecting dots tis that once you learn the techniques,
the dots can change but you’ll still be good at connecting them
Innovation is simply
connecting the dots
And we will learn how to connect them
trough knowledge and experiences, both in
reality or in our imagination
"The wireless telegraph is not difficult to
understand. The ordinary telegraph is
like a very long cat. You pull the tail in
New York and it meows in Los Angeles.
The wireless is the same, only without the
cat."
– Einstein, Albert, quoted in Thorpe, Scott, How to Think Like Einstein, Barnes & Noble
Books, Inc., 2000, p. 61.

increasing your knowledge and
experiences”

Imagination, also called the faculty
of imagining, is the ability to form
new images and sensations that are
not perceived through senses such as
sight, hearing, or other senses.
Imagination helps make knowledge
applicable in solving problems and is
fundamental to integrating
experience and the learning
process[1][2][3][4]
Curiosity sparks knowledge,
Knowledge sparks creativity,
Creativity sparks innovation
And all of of them are
growing well on a disciplined
and practiced IMAGINATION Curio - Creativity Workout
The objective of CURIO Creative
Workout is optimizing the power of
imagination as an incubation of
ideas.
1. Pattern Recognition
2. Pattern Continuation
3. Pattern Co-creation
This imagination training programs
were designed for developing these
3 main creativity skills
Benefits of working using disciplined
and well practiced imagination
With a disciplined and practiced save a lot
of time and energy to do a lot of
experimental work, like drafting, sketching,
transforming, connecting and composing
objects to solve majority of problems.
Physical record or documentation by using tolls
only used for recording significant progress or
documenting patterns as the result on experiment.
And it is also can be used to magnify further work of
imagination
Then we simply only need to turn on your
PC or gadget or even take paper only if
necessary. It will reduce our dependencies
on using tools to solve problems and
questions.
We can easily start working while we waking up
and open our eyes, while jogging, taking a shower,
in your way to office, listening music, waiting the
buss, staying in the queue and many moments that
we usually waste them.
Working with imagination will significantly
save your time and energy
And the biggest challenge is preparing a
disciplined and practiced imagination that
easily to controlled and adjusted into
desired mode.
And the biggest challenge is shaping a
disciplined and practiced imagination that
easily to controlled and adjusted into any
desired mode base on necessity.
And that type of IMAGINATION only
shaped by routine, programmed and
persistent workout.
Pattern Recognition
Pattern Recognition
Having an attitude to listen more and
lowering our filter inhibition of mind. More
listening will let more knowledge entering
our mind then it will enlarge the number of
collections in our patterns library
Willing to enrich knowledge trough our
own experiences and others
Enhance ability to recognize any kinds of
patterns from any objects
Pattern Continuation
Pattern Continuation
Enhance persistence on mastering both
recognizing and continuing pattern
Enhance flexibility to fit in to any kind of
pattern or situation
Enhance ‘Fill in the gap’ ability
Pattern Co-Creation
Pattern Co-Creation
Keeping motivation and spirit on exploring new
pattern with deeper meaning and higher values
Growing confidence on producing, sharing and
implementing the ideas
Enhancing fluency, originality and
elaboration on giving response for every
stimulus pattern. Fluency – The total number of interpretable, meaningful and
relevant ideas generated in response to the stimulus.
Originality – The statistical rarity of the responses among the
test subjects.
Elaboration – The amount of detail in the responses.
(Guilford's work, Torrance[46] developed the Torrance Tests of
Creative Thinking in 1966.[47])
Having a disciplined and well
practiced imagination is looks
like having super big and
sophisticated workshop,
or a huge laboratory, or a
gigantic canvas.
