Normally people advice us not to think “silly stuff”, or going through our thoughts. We normally listen to these type of advices from teachers and professors. When we go to a company, on the other hand, they hire only the most talented and highly creative personnel.

The person that can keep and understand the next 5 skills, will most-likely become a highly creative person:

Divergent thought
It’s about having all the possible ideas during a certain amount of time. Developing the subject over different perspectives and designs, and then breaking it down.

Lateral thought
Avoiding resolving the issue in one way, there are countless possibilities of solving problems, don’t stick to one.

Intuitive thinking
Trust your gut! Listen to your feeling, and follow them.

Positive thinking
Because a prior idea didn’t work well, it doesn’t mean that your next idea won’t be genius.

Idea dissection
Applying ideas, giving ideas and then develop them.
