Quotes: A Theory about Genius

Recognizing the common thinking strategies of creative geniuses and applying them will make you more creative in your work and personal life.

I enjoyed Michael Michalko's article A Theory about Genius outlining "descriptions of strategies that are common to the thinking styles of creative geniuses in science, art, and industry throughout history":

• Geniuses look at problems in many different ways
• Geniuses make their thought visible
• Geniuses produce
• Geniuses make novel combinations
• Geniuses force relationships
• Geniuses think in opposites
• Geniuses think metaphorically
• Geniuses prepare themselves for chance
