Think outside the box. Ask many questions and question what is already known. Allow your imagination to take over your thoughts because even though your beliefs may sound weird now, they might turn out to be actually true. When Columbus first said the Earth was round, people thought he was crazy, but his creative thinking and his will to fight the world’s beliefs was what made him succeed. Think in pictures. Thinking in pictures is a more advanced way of thinking since it is more descriptive and can explain things we learn easily. Einstein developed the Theory of Relativity when “he imagined what it would be like to ride on a beam of light.” References: "Creative Thinking with Albert Einstein."
