Editor's Notes
Many people only associate creativity with art or music.
Creativity is a cognitive skill that can be learned and practiced to enhance our human potential and quality of life. Creativity is a process with four stages that flow from one to another.
What does it mean to pare? To trim off an outside, excess, or irregular part. Pre is a prefix that means before.Preparation includes clarifying and defining, as well as gathering relevant information.
Have you ever had the experience of leaving a problem for a period of time, then finding the difficulty evaporates on returning to the problem, or even more striking, that the solution "comes out of the blue", when thinking about something else?Incubation is defined as a process of unconscious recombination of thought elements that were stimulated through conscious work at one point in time, resulting in novel ideas at some later point in time.
Illumination is the “Aha” or “Eureka” moment. It gives a real sense of insight, of acquiring a deeper understanding to a problem.
Verification is checking the solution to make sure it is valid.
