Creativity Begins with Unexpected Connections

 

School rewarded us for finding the expected answer.

Creativity rewards us for finding the unexpected connection.

Think about a math exam.

Everyone is trying to arrive at the same answer.

Now think about creating an illustration.

Or writing a story.

Or designing a workshop.

Or explaining a complex idea.

Suddenly, the most interesting solution is often the one nobody else thought about.

It's about connecting things that don't usually belong together.

The more unexpected the connection...

The more memorable the idea.

School didn't teach me this:

Sometimes the best answer is the one nobody expected.

What's the most unexpected connection you've ever made?
Thank you
