Imagination, Visual thinking and Creativity

To get breakthrough ideas or to resolve problems creatively, we need to visualize things in strange ways. We need to use the ability of imagination visually.

Many scientists use this technique to get ideas. For eg, Einstein used to formulate his subject in the visualization technique. He imagined that he rode a train on a beam of light. By using this technique, he can think of relativity theory.

Kekule's dreamt of a circle of tail-to-mouth snake in his fireplace gave the idea him the structure of the benzine ring.

So, being able to imagine visually can give breakthrough ideas to us. And, we need to jot down those strang valuable ideas because they can fade away.

I decided to practice to be imagine and to use the the visual thinking technique.
