This week, Mr. Yap Sau Bin had giving lecture on PCS class. Mr. Yap asked a question during the class, "if you see a human body with a head of a horse, what comes into your mind?" My answer is a monster.

Monsters are does not exist, but still got many people talking about it, just like Anubis, one of the God in Egypt, a Dragon painted at China. Why does the dragon exist? Something does not exist in this world, has anyone saw the dragon? The answer is NO! So, how does a dragon been thought out? This question does'n has answer. Everyone have different answer. Mr. Yap's answer is let say a person saw a snake, when people ask him what did he saw, he totally change the story, he say he saw a snake with a lion head. With imaging the snake with lion head 10 times, you will get a dragon.

Different people have different imaging, but combine all the imagination, the dragon had evolution and become like those picture below.

Creativity is the ability to think up and design new inventions, produce work of art, solve problems in new ways.
Three reasons why people are motivated to be creative:
1. need for novel, varied, and complex stimulation
2. need to communicate ideas and values
3. need to solve problems

The first question has asked by Mr. Yap:

What does it tell us about process of invention and innovation?
Invention is if the formulation of new ideas for product or processes. Innovation is all about applications into marketable products or services. The process of Invention is the cognitive realization that there is a weakness in current technology, there must be a culture of tolerance for things 'new' in a society. Process of Innovation is do with finding better or more efficient ways of producing existing products ---> advantages ---> possible drawbacks.


The 2nd question asked by Mr Yap:
Ask yourself what kind of environment, situation etc, would make you to become a creative/ inventive / innovative person?
To be Creative, I choose the environment that lonely, because lonely may make me have infinity imagination. If I want to be inventive i will ask my friends to force me to thing the invention that i'm going to create. Innovation comes along ones people buy your product and it become famous.
