De Bono shows how we're mentally engaged going from A to B, when a joke or some
creative idea, or an insight, flips us onto a new branch track at C. Given the new
perperspective we end up at D instead of B, enriched by the experience. Whorl that idea of
new branches into your life.
"The creation of something new," said Carl Jung, "is not accomplished by the intellect
but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the
objects it loves."
Creators love the idea of their creations enough to do whatever is needed to bring them
into being. Love yourself and love your creations, into ongoing self-growth.
Mindmap the situation, explore its options. Widen the possibilities.
