Creative thinking!

People are running wild in their imaginations sometimes and ofcourse me too! Almost everyday I run into the wildest dreams or imaginations which any normal guy would not even thinked about.

Sometimes I make pretty assumptions on those imaginations and arrive at a conclusion.

When it comes to personal affairs, everyday people make a lot of assumptions and ask questions indirectly to the other person, in order to save their face. Sometimes it will be funny and sometimes it will be hurting.

Making assumptions, as far in my opinion, it is not that very good in the personal front but when you are thinking creatively to invent something, making assumption is the first step. Wright Brothers wouldn't have build an aeroplane, had they not went by assumptions.

When I was attending training in the earlier years of office life, the training manager told us the following at the end of training as a bottomline. "Dont make assumptions, coz what you are trying to do is 'Making an "ASS" out of "U" and "ME"'" but now I wanted to say back to him that his theory is applicable only for personal life and cannot be applied altogether. After all theories are meant to be disproved.

Infact making assumption is even considered as one of the important techniques for creativity. Check this site - Assumption Surfacing

In fact our education system lacks creative thinking and we dont encourage people who invents something new or spending time on trying to invent. We stress on memorising whatever that is available in book without even asking a question of when, where ,how. Whereas the education system in US makes a child to think creatively starting earlier from his kindergarten and thats why the culture in US is being followed everywhere. Now the kerala govt has adopted to bring this strategy little bit but I'm not sure how far this is going to become successful.

I'm not blaming because we have got really great people in advanced science field given the chance like in foreign countries. This should change because they are working under foreigners turning their imaginations into reality.

Lying increases the creative faculties, expands the ego, and lessens the frictions of social contacts.

Are you a believer of luck or you?

When I think about luck, the incidents which came across my mind are my college days. I have to say some funny incidents on the believers of the luck. This guy has the habit of believing in luck when it comes to exams. No matter what, how he studied he will think that only the luck is the final decider. On the day of exams he will wear a new dress, shoes, take a newly bought pen and go for exams. If he happens to write that exam neatly, then he wore those same clothes and used to carry the same pen no matter what the clothes look like (even it got dirt after falling into a mud the previous day) or the pen doesn't write at all for the forthcoming exams. This routine will happen until he settles with a pen and cloth combination.

After seeing this habit, his room mate too started believing in superstitions and he became a follower. In one of the crucial interview, his room mate took my file and he cleared that interview and after that he didn't turn up to return the file even after several months. I thought it won't be good to ask because he is a good friend of mine. But anyway one day finally had to because I had to. I asked him about the file, he said that this file is very lucky and told ONLY because of this file he cleared that interview (the earlier couple of interviews which he attended he didn't get through as he was carrying the file which he bought and he became so upset that finally became this much superstitious).

Where are these guys goin? Do they have belief in their potential or they are trying to pass the buck on others when they do something really bad. In one way it is good to be like that coz when negative things happen they will blame on others/things and they will back normally quickly compared to those people who will try to analyze where it went wrong and what they have to do to get things rectify even for the simplest and silliest issues and finally getting no clue from where they have started.

So you might now think what I'm trying to say is, don't be silly on everything. Be a believer in yourself and be a narcissist to some extent after all if you dont love yourself who else gonna be. Have some kind of belief that there are some external forces which influences us and not fully. Also try to find out how to make these forces good for you and don't be too much idiotic.

Love .......!!!????

Falling In Love from the book "Letters to my Son" by Kent Nerburn

Its been there since the earth has come into being..

Its been there since man was made...

But still, its an enigma.....

It is a mystery why we fall in love.

It is a mystery how it happens. It is a mystery when it comes.

It is a mystery why some love grows and it is a mystery why some love fails.

You can analyze this mystery and look for reasons and causes, but you will never do anymore than take the life out of the experience.

Just as life itself is more than the sum of the bones and muscles and electrical impulses in the body, love is more than the sum of the interests and attractions and commonalities that two people share.

And just as life itself is a gift that comes and goes in its own time, so too, the coming of love must be taken as an unfathomable gift that cannot be questioned in its ways.

Sometimes, hopefully at least once in your life - the gift of love will come to you in full flower, and you will take hold of it and celebrate it in all inexpressible beauty.

This is the dream we all share.

More often, it will come and take hold of you, celebrate you for a brief moment, then move on.

When this happens to young people, they too often try to grasp the love and hold it to them, refusing to see that it is a gift that is freely given and a gift that just as freely, moves away.

When they fall out of love, or the person they love feels the spirit of love leaving, they try desperatelyto reclaim the love that is lost rather than accepting the gift for what it was, then moving on.

They want answers where there are no answers.

They want to know what is wrong in them that makes the other person no longer love them, or they try to get their lover to change, thinking that if some small things were different, love would bloom again.

They blame their circumstances and say that if they go far away and start a new life together, their love will grow.

They try anything to give meaning to what has happened.

But there is no meaning beyond the love itself, and until they accept its own mysterious ways; they live in a sea of misery.

You need to know this about love, and to accept it.

You need to treat what it brings you with kindness.

If you find yourself in love with someone who does not love you, be gentle with yourself.

There is nothing wrong with you.

Love just didn't choose to rest in the other person's heart.

If you find someone else in love with you and you don't love him, feel honored that love came and called at your door, but gently refuse the gift you cannot return.

Do not take advantage; do not cause pain.

How you deal with love is how you deal with you, and all our hearts feel the same pains and joys, even if our lives and ways are different.

If you fall in love with another, and he falls in love with you, and then love chooses to leave, do not try to reclaim it or to assess blame.

Let it go.

There is a reason and there is a meaning. You will know in time.

Remember that you don't choose love.

Love chooses you.

All you can really is accept it for all its mystery when it comes into your life.

Feel the way it fills you to overflowing, then reach out and give it away.

Give it back to the person who brought it alive in you.

Give it to others who deem it poor in spirit.

Give it to the world around you in anyway you can.

There is where many lovers go wrong.

Having been so long without love, they understand love only as a need.

They see their hearts as empty place that will be filled by love, and they begin to look at love as something that flows to them rather than from them.

The first blush of new love is filled to overflowing, but as their love cools, they revert to seeing their love as a need.

They cease to be someone who generates love and instead become someone who seeks love.

They forget that the secret of love is that it is a gift, and that it can be made to grow only by giving it away.

Remember this, and keep it to your heart.

Love has its own time, its own seasons, and its own reason for coming and going.

You cannot bribe it or coerce it, or reason it into staying.

You can only embrace it when it arrives and give it away when it comes to you.

But if it chooses to leave from your heart or from the heart of your lover, there is nothing you can do and there is nothing you should do.

Love always has been and always will be a mystery.

Be glad that it came to live for a moment in your life.

If you keep your heart open it will come again!
