CREATIVITY

LESSON #6

CREATIVITY

This is the ability to invent and develop ORIGINAL IDEAS. Now most people mistake creativity with copying. As an entrepreneur or a person trying to develop your career creativity is the ONLY thing that will keep you unique, at the top and ahead of the game. Look at Apple Company, their creativity moved from computers to phones to MP3’s, to i-pads to smart phones this type of consistent creativity is keeping them at the top of the technology-gadget ladder. Be creative in your branding, product marketing, services and customer maintenance. Read the book HOW TO BE CREATIVE by HUGH MacLEOD. This is a very powerful book.

·       

 Things are always created twice. There is always the mental creation which precedes the physical creation. Just as plans for a house must first be set down on paper before the house is started, so too should your day be planned within your mind early in the morning before the day begins. Visualize the wonders you desire this life to bring and they will materialize as your subconscious mind starts to focus on the attainment of goals. This is a true law of Nature. By Robin S. Sharma.

·        Everyone is born creative: everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten- HUGH Macleod.

 “Money doesn't bring happiness and creativity. Your creativity and happiness brings money."--Sam Rosen

“Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will."--George Bernard Shaw

 

“Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."--George Bernard Shaw

 

“The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher

regard those who think alike than those who think differently."--Nietzsche

READ

LESSON #5

READ

Readers are leaders. U.S. President Bill Clinton read more than 300 books during his short time at Oxford University. Some top performers read a book a day. Seek out knowledge and information. Reading doesn’t necessarily mean to read for an exam, you read to be well diverts in different fields and to expand on your knowledge, hence creating space for wisdom.

·        Take a speed reading course. Reading is a powerful way to gain many years of experience from a few hours of study. For example, most biographies reflect the strategies and philosophies of great leaders or courageous individuals. Read them and model them. Speed reading will allow you to digest large quantities of material in relatively small periods of time. By Robin S. Sharma.

·        Do not take personal development books as gospel. Read them and take whatever useful ideas you need. Some people feel they must do everything suggested and take the techniques to extremes. Every book has at least one tool or strategy of benefit. Take what you need and what works for you and discard what doesn't suit you. By Robin S. Sharma.

·        Keep well-informed about current events, the latest books and popular trends. Many peak performers read five or six papers a day. You don't have to read every story of every paper. Know what to focus on, what to pass by and what to clip out and read at another time (many successful people scan scores of magazines and papers, clipping out articles of interest; these articles go into a file folder which can be read in your down time). Knowledge is power. Whether you are an entrepreneur, a corporate leader or someone leading a family, you can profoundly change your life and the lives of those around you with a single idea. Just ask Gates, Edison and Bell. By Robin S. Sharma.

 

·        Get into the excellent habit of reading something positive and inspirational before you go to bed and as soon as you awake in the morning. You will soon note the benefits as these thoughts will be supporting you throughout the day. By Robin S. Sharma.

SKILL

LESSON #4

SKILL

The best skills to apply in life are from experience be it from school, home e.t.c, natural skills also apply. Choose your business career according to your life skills. E.g. If you grew up in an agricultural environment, your skills bend more in the field than in the office. You’re more likely to succeed in that industry because of life experience and INTEREST. It is easy to do something your skilled in especially if you are interested in it.

·        Read The Magic of Believing by Claude M. Bristol. It will allow you to release the powerful forces which most certainly exist in your mind but may presently be untapped. By Robin S. Sharma.

·        “Once you do something you love, you never have to work again."--Willie Hill

·        “People rarely succeed unless they enjoy what they are doing."--Dale Carnegie
