Major Obstacles to Creative Thinking- soflow

--“Fear is often a boulder in the way of creative thinking. In fact, it is not just the fear of ridicule that is the boulder; but 'unproductive thinking' that perhaps comes in the way of good ideas. There are those who think themselves and their thoughts 'above' the rest; and there are those little creative men out there who get killed out in the stampede to rise to the top. These men often proclaim to deaf ears that ‘this was after all my idea’. Perhaps communication comes in the way of creative thinking, or perhaps mankind itself does not want a good idea to get across since that would in some way surpass the average ideas and stand out amongst the average ideas. But what if this good idea is my idea? Human mentality comes in the way of creative thinking not just fear because even the brave are sometimes trampled by the merciless honchos.”
