Problem-solving Skills
Just ask ‘Why?’
Sometimes, as we look for approaches to creative thinking, we forget that many of the
most powerful techniques are also the simplest...
Leonardo da Vinci, one of the most creative thinkers in history, says of his inspiration:
“I roamed the countryside searching for answers to things I did not understand. Why
shells exist on the tops of mountains along with imprints of plants usually found in the
sea. Why thunder lasts longer than that which causes it. How circles of water form
around the spot which has been struck by a stone. And how a bird suspends itself in
the air. Questions like these engaged my thought throughout my life”.
It is easy to forget, as we rush through our lives, that curiosity is an essential foundation
for creativity.
Look around the world, keep asking ‘Why?’ and ‘Why not?’, and you will soon
see new opportunities.
