Creative Thinking

1.Creative thinking as defined by Okpara is the act of generating solution to problems by the force of
imagination and reasoning. It is an ability of the mind seeking to find answers to some life’s questions. In
a dynamic and changing world, the challenges of man are not static. They take on new forms and require
a deep understanding of the creative approach. Celebrating achievements of great investors were not
necessarily by accident but by product of deep creative thinking that has delivered the visible products we
see and enjoy today. Bill gates, Steve Job, the Wright brothers, Ford, Rock feller etc have all at one time
followed the part of creative thinking.

2.It is necessary to know that we live in a thinker’s world. It is therefore, not surprising to see that the
men/women who are ahead are those who see ahead with the eyes of their mind. Men and women who
have engaged their minds in resourceful thinking to generate idea and products, which stand the test of
time.

3.Every idea is a product of thinking and every product is the manifestation of idea naked in a thinker’s
mind. These are people who see problems as opportunities to improve and do something new or
something better, people who keep these two vital questions on their mind.
