Today is Sunday, I am at home to read a book which promoted by Magik Ding,its name is
The
Art of Creative Thinking.
Now I list some points of the author Rod Judkins. If you like it ,I can share it to you face to face.
1.Be a beginner,for ever
When you become familiar with your job or life for years.How can you be a creator?That is an issue for all of us.In chapter one, the author Rod Judkis mentioned a story in Dubai.He went to a TV station to deliver creative workshop.At first, he swapped the position of TV staff, that is sounds interesting, but you will object,how can they do things which they are not familiar with or good at.The playwright to control light,the cameramen to write some script, the costume designers in charge of role's characters design.The soundman to think of places and so on.That sounds absurd, but it worked.It is fresh for them to change the role and the creative ideas poured out.
Maybe it will change out entrenched idea,and think another side.It inspired as to think differently and unique.The writer said "A beginner has a fresh perspective "I really love this idea, when we first in a new industry, you will have many new thoughts with curious, which act like children.That is the reason why we say learn from kids, because their minds are pure.Sometimes unprofessional open ideas because they have the courage to try.The result is not certain. The most important is,don't try to afraid of failure.Remember:"Nothing is wrong. Nothing is right." An expert has not always been right either.They just constantly repeat their experience.So, if you have change,try to switch your job and roles constantly. Think different and something you have to ignore it.Don't do things in the usual way, do them unusual and be an unusual man.What you need to do,it is to find new and to know it.That is why I learned diverse languages.Think in different style, and fine new culture.If a Chinese constraint you reading, why not try to another language.You learn like a beginner, you will find the questions.Also, if you have many hobbies, which cannot concentrate,do not complain or blame yourself.It is not your fault.You just want to be a more beginners to enjoy the novel experience.If you ready to find the most interesting this which is valuable to do.Of course, at last you absorb in it,and have fun.Everybody wants to be unique, but how to conquer the fear of inside,not to be fear of thinking.So,this chapter gives me thinking about:
how to get rid of restoration?
2.Cut it out
Cut, cut!
Delete something on the other hand means you should retain something important to you.A good film should delete 90% footage.Although something you have much energy and time on it.You must discard,just like you see an iceberg.95% is invisible some painter has 10 pictures to an exhibition, but they also have tens of thousand works in garage,not showed in public.The less works, the more precious.If you get ideas come up with 100, the 40% of the front is obvious. The 40% are unusual offbeat.20% one strange,and surreal, because they are under your inside heart.
3.Be the medium of your medium
Visual presentation is to tell a story, before I tried that way to draw some cartoon character to tell a boring story to my son. He is interested in drawing, that encouraged me to creative think and image.That is why power point is some welcomed by company/Man can choose what they want to see, and easily understand. You don't need so much illusion.So how to design your power point, how to show your idea to people who are a layman.Just to consider what you design!You have conveyed you should pay attention to the exception of viewer, how to satisfy them.
What is media to do,it conveys the new ideas to an audience.But how they interesting,you can picture them,just like"混子曰"to use simple words illustrate history.Which made it easy to understand complex ancient history
4.Get into what you are into
Try to use image to be innovation ,the author told us a example in TV,let the young men to be an old aged man ,Giving them walking stick ,dressed in grey wigs and prosthetic teeth,wear elder's clothe ,and walked on street,what they feel ,when time passed by ,if you want to enjoy colorful life ,just exchange role and do it.To get out the same style of your life, walk out and you will experience more a more feeling
."Don't say how many days you have. Just say how many days your remember!"As Xu Yuanchong said.
Use your image, if you think of a cup,try to image what a cup like,image you pour it,you hear the sound of water, to smell the tea and you enjoy the taste of tea.Then you draw it and made it,that also needs meditation to see it from the inside requirement.
5. Youth
Creator is not born to be creative, he comes from our usual life. Maybe he is not professional or trained.But his creation can be inspired,if it used in the correct position,how you use it,how you connect it.They will be surprised that how clever they are.
It is said creative thinking just like doing series fit. It contains short time,even 5minutes in different action.Not one action repeat all the timecontionously, you have talent just it is potential,but you not yet find it.Just likes hidden gold inside of rock.Discover it,dig it,polish it.
Author repeatly told that "change ", if we use pen and paper to write,why not change into another way --different material and transmitter.And so art is.Before I was in the library, I saw an artist use crack of the wall to be a picture.
6.Feel inadequate
Keep humility,and eager to learn.As Steve Jobs said, "stay foolish,stay hungry", Self -doubt and passion is a powerful combination, why say that?
Most of successive men have the same feature, no matter how succeed they made, the will not satisfy themselves.They will keep moving until they have more triumph, when they won. They attribute them to be lucky. Complain yourself sometimes is not always the bad, you just so,"I am not so good,I need more challenge, I want to see how long can I insist. I will not give up until I WIN it"

yesterday I had a bad dream,i was fired by my company and worked in a new company.
It was the first day when i was in new company ,i am very afraid of not doing good,and
it was a textile company.the boss said ,if 3 months have not get order ,3of one can stay ,and the 2will leave company.
and i am a stranger to textile and ,i hate to do china mainland market .i want to get rid of beinge chinese market.beacuse ,i hate to drink and go out for dinner.so i was worried all the night.
In reality,i work in a taiwan company for 7 years,i stay here for long time ,same product,some position.I was doubt,how hard can I did ,I really try my best to do.
how can you be irreplaceable in your company?
1. apperence ,be different. be beauty.change your wear style. comfortable but not luxury.not fashion but suitable.
2.work style.keep quite work table.keep fast pace. to do as soon as possible.
last week i met a customer in Taizhou,the sales manager in office ,she is charmful,with high heel,ring,looks like elegence.I can help myself to talking with her.Female is attracted by hers apperance.That is true.
But,how can you be different with others.this is the key point and let you in the top of group. I can still recall a girl in toastmaster.
I really appreciated for hers talent,flulence german,free type of performance,good at communication,and charmful.Most impressive is hers smile.She is different,unforgetalbe.
I want to be a write ,just like Zhang Ailing.At last,she moved to America,and she beganto write in English.That made me confuss.Why she left shanghai to far-away city.
why she suicide in hers apartment, wasn't she happy with hers life? she has reputation,glory ,flower,but what she lost in life time?Mother's love ,father's love,lovers' love.all of this consist of hers unique life.and she write them down to readers.She was not same as other women at that time ,she wore odd.and not care others .
