37. CAN YOU IMPROVE YOUR CREATIVITY?
YES! HOW?
 Gather as much information as you can (read, talk with
experts, etc.) and brainstorm.
 Just think about the problem or issue until an idea
comes to you.
Is the solution reasonable?
If so, try it.
If not, keep thinking.
If you tried out an idea, did it work?
If so, great!
If not, begin the process over again.
Do not put barriers on your mind.
Put these steps to use.
