In this video, I strongly agree when Edward de Bono said that creativity is a skill which everyone can learn, not a natural talent which some people have. Like what he said, lots of advances happen through creativity, such as new products, new services, new ways of marketing, and new ways of cutting cost. All these advances are a result from our learning process. It depends on how people put themselves into the learning process and the way they think to create a new idea.

The fact that creativity is a skill is called a lateral thinking. Lateral thinking based on an understanding of the brain. The brain form patterns, patterns form routine ways of doing things and looking at things. He took an example of learning maths. Learn math means you can learn lateral thinking, and learn creativity. In fact that you can use thousand methods with different ways of calculation and comes up with exactly the same results on solving math problems. This is what we call learn lateral thinking and creativity through math.

In a nut shell, lateral thinking is a usable and learnable skill.
