Creative thinking: An Instrospect

Its very rare to witness a person thinking/Doing something out-of-the-ordinary.But when he does that all remaining people will think internally that "Yaar, it looks simple but why didn't we realize/done it before".It goes with the famous saying from conan doyle "Elementary, Watson". to put it in another way,"When you hear the solution the problem becomes simple".

So why is it many of us are unable to find the solution to lot of problems and when we hear the solution we feel "yeah, i knew this before". We use some mathematics to find out why??

The way people think depends of lots of factors for eg: the environment which they have grown, their IQ,knowledge they possess etc....

A survey will reveal that "95% of the people think in a similar grounds always, only 5% people think differently i.e., famous known as out-of-the-box/lateral thinking ".

95%---> Step-By-Step Thinking
5%---> Creative/Lateral/out-of-the-box thinking (Terms coined by Edward De Bono)

Lets put it the other way, Every person switches between these ratios most of the times he thinks like the remaining 95% only some times when the situation demands he thinks in the lines of the other 5%.

We need to ensure that we always think in terms of the 5% so that we can excel life and be an inspiration to others.
These people in the 5% are every powerful they can change the entire 95% people, so please encourage those who fall into that category.
