We generate innovative ideas every day. We are constantly changing the views we hold about the world from moment to moment.

The so-called creativity means broadening your thinking, constantly creating new ideas, thinking about things that others have not thought of, and doing things that others cannot do, so as to win with newness and wonder, and win success and gains with ideas outside the conventional thinking logic!

Always thinking along the previously familiar directions and paths, consciously or unconsciously, but not good at finding new paths.

Inherent judgmental influence on things

path dependency

Don't stick to old experience

beyond all convention

Independent thinking ability is the ability to conduct in-depth analysis of specific problems and put forward your own original insights. It is also a comprehensive ability to use the theoretical knowledge you have mastered and the experience and lessons you have accumulated to independently and creatively analyze and solve practical problems. .

In creative activities, we must be good at independent analysis and thinking based on actual situations, have original insights into understanding and solving problems, not be affected by other people's suggestions, not rely on other people's conclusions, and strive to prevent dependence on ideas.

The purpose of paper clips

Not limited by thinking

The "brainstorming" method is a way for everyone to come together to express their opinions on a problem and to collide ideas.

(1) Structural divergence means taking the structure of something as a divergence point and thinking in all directions to imagine various possibilities of utilizing the structure.

(2) Functional divergence is to take the function of something as the divergence point and think in all directions to imagine various possibilities for obtaining that function.

(3) Form divergence is to take the form of things (such as color, shape, sound, taste, light and shade, etc.) as the divergence point, and think in all directions to imagine various possibilities of using a certain form.

(4) Combination and divergence is to start from a certain thing and think in all directions, so as to imagine as many possibilities as possible to connect with another thing (or some things) to form a new thing with new value (or added value) sex.

(5) Method divergence means taking the results of people solving problems as a divergence point, thinking in all directions, and speculating on the various reasons for this result; or taking the cause of the development of a certain thing as a divergence point, thinking in all directions, and inferring possibilities. various outcomes that occur.

Convergent thinking is not a simple permutation and combination, but an innovative integration, that is, with the goal as the core, the original knowledge is purposefully selected and reorganized in terms of content and structure.

1. Rigor and argumentation

2. Focus

3. Profoundness

It vividly shows the process of approaching the core of the problem step by step. It is one of the convergent thinking methods, which reveals the deep essence hidden in the surface phenomena of things by abandoning those non-essential and complicated characteristics.

We are required to be good at observation, discover facts and put forward opinions when thinking about problems, and find out key phenomena, pay attention to them and think deeply about them. Understand the characteristics of a certain thing in depth, and make step-by-step judgments based on this characteristics until you finally get close to the core of the problem.

When we analyze a problem, we must see the essence of the problem through the phenomenon, rather than being blinded by some superficial factors or walking into a dead end in thinking.

All problems and needs have a root cause, that's the essence.

Subtractive thinking involves all aspects of life and work such as the use of people, money, materials, and time. It is a big article that will never be finished and requires us to observe and think carefully.

It is to use something from the negative side.

It refers to thinking from the opposite direction of known things and looking for ways to invent ideas.

"The opposite direction of things" often makes reverse thinking from three aspects: function, structure, and causal relationship of things.

It refers to the thinking method of switching to another method or changing the perspective of thinking because the means to solve a certain problem are blocked when studying a problem, so as to solve the problem smoothly.

Many people are stuck when they encounter a problem and cannot find a solution. In fact, if you can look at the problem from another angle, sometimes a seemingly difficult problem can be easily solved with clever methods.

It is a way of thinking that takes advantage of the shortcomings of things, turns shortcomings into exploitable things, turns passivity into initiative, and turns disadvantages into advantages.

This reasoning is reverse thinking that pushes forward from the results. This method also plays an important role in invention and creation.

When you are overwhelmed with the work at hand, you must stop and quietly ask yourself: What do you hope to achieve most in 5 years?

Planar thinking tends to think in multiple ways.

We cannot change the joys and sorrows of life, but we can control the way we think about things.

The best way to find new solutions is to try a lot of different solutions. Never stop when you find the first solution, but keep looking for others.

Thinking about the object of consideration from the vertical development direction and according to its various stages of development, so as to imagine and infer further development trends,

5why

It is a way of thinking of mutual causes, mutual results, and causal chain. There is a reason behind the cause, and there is a result behind the result. The previous result in the development of things is the cause of the next development.

A system is a group of interconnected things that interact with each other in a specific behavioral pattern within a certain period of time, such as people, cells, molecules, etc.

The system may be triggered, driven, impacted or restricted by external forces, and the way the system responds to the influence of external forces is the characteristic of the system. In the real world, these feedbacks are often very complex.

Use existing knowledge and experience to compare unfamiliar and unfamiliar problems with familiar problems that have been solved or other similar things to solve problems.

It is to find things similar to the invention object from nature or existing inventions, and create new things through direct analogy.

Use analogies between products of different types to generate creativity

It is often derived from the appearance and structure of a certain prototype to create creations similar to this structure and image.

Make analogies based on similar functions

Only recognizing something that does exist, any empty concepts that interfere with this specific existence are useless nonsense and should be cancelled.

The accurate explanation of anything is usually to choose the "simplest" rather than the "most complex"

Make a sound in the east and attack in the west

Critical thinking includes "reflection" and "thinking", not being bound by any beliefs or assumed knowledge, and maintaining a rational and objective attitude towards problems and things.

See and think about problems from other people’s perspectives

Abandon self-centered thinking

Change your thinking

There are connections between things, and seeking this inner connection to achieve the purpose of seeing the essence through phenomena requires the help of rigorous logical thinking.

Logical thinking refers to the way or form of connecting and organizing thinking contents together. Thinking uses concepts and categories as tools to reflect cognitive objects. These concepts and categories exist in the human brain in the form of a certain framework, that is, a thinking structure. These frameworks can organize different categories and concepts together to form a relatively complete idea, which can be understood and mastered to achieve the purpose of understanding. Therefore, thinking structure is not only a cognitive structure of people, but also a structure of people's ability to use categories and concepts to grasp objects.

The main contents of logical thinking include: subject, definition, classification, relationship and sequence. The subject clarifies "who" is the main one and who is the auxiliary; it clearly defines what the subject is; the classification clarifies the categories divided according to different classification rules; the relationship between the subject and the object and the relationship between different categories of subjects are clear, including Related relationships, inclusion relationships, genus relationships, belonging relationships, etc.; the sequence clarifies the order in which each process is carried out.

Draw conclusions under special circumstances from general principles.

A general rule is derived from a number of individual things.

When a writer creates a typical literary character and a painter creates a picture, he must first conceive of the character or the picture in his mind. This conception process uses the image of a person or object as the material, so it is called Image thinking.

Imagination has the characteristics of freedom, openness, romance, jumping, image, exaggeration and so on.

The creative activity in which people consciously transfer the discovered principles, methods, and technologies of a certain thing, subject, or system to other related things, subjects, or systems to provide inspiration and reference for creating inventions or solving problems is called transplantation.
