This assumption\u00a0is based on the theory that if you ask a substantial amount of people how they observe\u00a0a particular thing or setting i.e. a wardrobe in an empty room and if your answer\u00a0is unique in comparison\u00a0to\u00a0the answers in general\u00a0then you are more creative.\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=' with_quote_icon' style=''><i class='fa fa-quote-right pull-left' style=''><\/i><h5 class='blockquote-text' style=' line-height: undefinedpx;'>We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.<\/h5><\/blockquote>\r\n\r\nAlbert Einstein once said that. In order to solve problems from a different thinking than when we created them takes creativity. The\u00a0higher your creativity the more likely you are to accept a different perspective\u00a0to the problem and therefore a offer more\u00a0possible solutions.\r\n\r\nThis quote is for those out there with the need to solve problems when presented. Whether that problem arises during a hike through the woods, or while working on a highly complex web application; changing your mindset on how you see\u00a0the problem can be a beneficial\u00a0strategy.\u00a0This quote resonates with me, and hopefully with most of you, during those eureka or aha moments after your \u00a0mind wondered away from the problem. It isn&#8217;t a coincidence the solution to\u00a0problems that\u00a0demand a creative approach\u00a0come to your consciousness while your distracted or wandering about something completely unrelated to the problem.\r\n\r\nNext time you run into a problem that seems impossible to solve just take a break and make an effort to think about something unrelated for a bit. This is great way to give your subconscious the opportunity to bring to surface thoughts that you would have otherwise been trapped and never exposed. Give it try and see what happens!\r\n\r\n<strong>Recommended Reading<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Technique-Producing-Ideas-five-step-creative\/dp\/1434102750\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1453749250&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=a+technique+for+producing+ideas\" target=\"_blank\">A Technique for Producing Ideas<\/a> by James Webb Young\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Imagine-Creativity-Works-Jonah-Lehrer\/dp\/B007QRI1UQ\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1453749225&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=imagine%3A+how+creativity+works\" target=\"_blank\">Imagine: How Creativity Works<\/a> by\u00a0Jonah Lehrer\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/The-Organized-Mind-Thinking-Information\/dp\/052595418X\" target=\"_blank\">The Organized Mind: Thinking Straight in the Age of Information Overload<\/a> by\u00a0Daniel J.
