About This Quote

Creativity is about connecting things. The key to genius is knowing how to make those connections. Einstein once said, "Creativity is the ability to see a connection where others cannot." While this may be true, it isn't always easy to see connections between things. In a sense, we have a great deal of creativity in us.

It's our minds that don't come up with all of the ideas – they just sort them out and present them in a way that others can understand. To really shine as a creative thinker, it's important to learn how to use your brain in a new way. This means taking on challenges that force you to think outside the box and figure out connections between seemingly unrelated ideas.
