Creative Thinking

"Be creative! Use your brains!"
-myself to Allthrillz and K Tuppswhen the boat was sinking (not the S.S. Value Village)

Being creative, in so much as being able to create music or art or write or whatever, is a wonderful ability.

Creative thinking is, in my mind, a little bit of a different skill set. Looking at a problem or situation and then creating a solution that wasn't readily apparent is a special trait that is usually beneficial.

It might be something like coming up with an 'out of the box' solution to a problem at work. Or maybe its being able to find that perfect but totally unexpected gift for someone. It can be as simple as opening the bottle of beer you found on that fence railing over there.

In this world, the countries, the cities, everywhere we live there are problems. Alot of these problems are complex... answers are not always easy to come by.

I have no political aspirations at this point in my life but I do have some ideas about things.

In Victoria there are lots of 'topics' to have ideas about. With this post I'm sharing my 'out of the box' all-in-one solution to several of Victoria most commonly discussed problems. I believe it qualifies as creative thinking.

Imagine the possibilities!
  • Resolving the cities homelessness crisis
  • Addressing the problems with rabbits at UVIC and deer in my yard.
  • And the City of Victoria's favourite... more tourist dollars!

It's makes so much sense, I know.
