Creativity

One form of creativity is the sudden flash of insight. When an

idea pops into your head. This is what Arthur Koestler called the

Eureka process. Eureka comes from the story of the ancient

Greek scientist Archimedes. Archimedes supposedly leapt naked

from his tub. Shouting "Eureka!" Eureka means "I have found

it," he had suddenly figured out why some things float.

Not all creative discoveries come like a flash of light, though.

In fact, Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, tried

hundreds of metal combinations in his laboratory. Before he

found the right one to conduct electricity. Edison was able to

create something new and valuable because of his energy and

tenacity. He gave his own definition of genius, it is 1 percent

inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.

Despite their differences, Edison and Archimedes had much in

common, they followed the same process. First, both recognized

a problem. And were aware of previous steps to solve it. Both

consciously or unconsciously worked toward a solution. Finally,

both arrived at a solution, this was the creative idea.
