Creative thinking

Last week I attended a creative thinking course. It was absolutely wonderful. It was amazing to realize how our brain reacts to certain things and how by just consciously controlling our animal and human instincts we can be constructive rather than destructive.
One the main message I took away was: defer judgment, analyze the problem, diverge and then converge.
It may all seem straight forward and easy, and it is.... but as human beings we find it hard to apply. So now consciously I am trying to all these things. Hope I succeed and more importantly, hope I can transmit my learning to my colleagues and friends
