Dec 18 - Intensify Your Curiosity
Intensify Your Curiosity
December 18, 2007
- "Try new things. Even if they don't work out, you'll learn lessons to apply elsewhere.
- Seek out experts for their views.
- Do your own research.
- Seek alternative solutions, even when all is well. This gives you fallback positions.
- Routinely seek opinions from people who have no experience with the subject.
- Don't compartmentalize your life. This creates artificial barriers to brilliant solutions.
- When you have a problem, work like a detective. Ask questions. Look at everything. Follow every lead.
- Notice and eliminate assumptions. They're usually wrong.
- Fire your inner critic. Give ideas time to percolate before assessing them.
- 'Browse' everywhere.
- Explore new places and types of information.
- Take different routes in your daily routine.
- Ask questions of those you encounter: Find out what they do and what else they do (Canterucci, 2005, p. 110)."
