Topic – creativity thinking skill
I learn about how to generate our creativity thinking. The creativity comes from knowledge that most probably we get from our past experiences and relate it into what information ideas that we have, in order to introduce the new variety of inventions. The invention must be suitable to market either now or future.

The new idea is wrong at the first place but the new idea is great idea for the future goal and mission. Try to think outside the box and accept the new ideas so that we don’t reject it at the first place but bring new ideas to improve it.
