On creativity, culture, and thinking
Seven observations for professional development
Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom more often resolves itself upon a question mark.
People are closer to culture than to information. And it appears most people are closer to culture than to work. Very few place information above both culture and work. There's a lot to learn in these differences.
Increased productivity without increased responsibility risks recoiling results. "More, more, more" is the cry of a future fall.
To birth a buzzword is to kill the ability to generate solutions from original thinking. By the time it's a buzzword, the real problem has moved on.
Critical thinking is talked about but seldom sincere. Wherever bias exists within oneself, critical thinking can either cut away at it, or rust in its sheath.
The listener learns. They give space to the world around them. The creator creates, from this same space within themselves.
Creativity is prolific, like nature. A million flowers bloom only to wither. It may seem easier to risk nothing original, but that only establishes stagnation. Apply the right creative solution, at the right time, in the right way, and it is priceless.
