Learn, Think, Create

Most of us do not entirely think about what we learn and create new concepts from the new knowledge. We are so busy focused on learning and trying to learn more and more, that we leave no room to actually think and make sense of what we learn. This diminishes creativity. As E.O. Wilson puts it: “we are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom. The world henceforth will be run by synthesizers, people able to put together the right information at the right time, think critically about it, and make important choices wisely.”

More specifically I highly recommend that you watch this TEDx talk on Youtube "Forget what you know- Jacob Barnett at TEDxTeen". The boy is brilliant and I can actually relate. There are no limits to what you can think of. There is so much information in the world that the odds of matching thoughts with someone else are slight, as long as you “think like there is no box”. Turn Learn, Think, Create into a mantra and your life will never be the same again.

Last but not least, COPYRIGHT! It is important to protect your intellectual property. Once you created something new or you came up with a new idea, it is important to prototype it and then apply for copyright or patent it. Actually the mantra should be "Learn, Think, Create, Patent/Copyright".

Good luck!
