Creative Problem Solving Skill Intuition
Trust your first impression
Listen to your intuition
Think about what appears to be the problem
Ask others or get a new first impression
Alan Alda US Actor (1936 - ) Be brave enough to live
creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You cannot get there by bus, only by hard work, risking and by not quite knowing what you are doing.
Albert Eistein (1879-1955)
"The only real valuable thing is intuition."
