Edward de Bono said, “Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way.” But a human mind cannot help but look for and establish patterns as part of its process of incorporating information.

Get ready to think hard and see patterns where none yet exist! Continue reading

Or better put, a hinge. Get your mind ready and dust off your imagination. It’s time to play. Continue reading
