Thinking out of the box: Superheroes style

I am inspired to write about creative thinking in this post today after i received my monthly newsletter from The Actors Studio and there is this article from Mark Beau regarding "superheroes" in his hometown of Penang. Who are these "superheroes" you may ask? They are no other than the "orang gila" patroling the streets near you. These people are "superheroes" because they do things we'd never do and we mere "orang biasa" wont understand them. But if you take a minute to observe them and their antics, you will be suprised on how the heck they can think of doing what they are doing. In creative thinking, we all are keen to come out with something new but it is hard to be "super different" because all of us are confined to our logic and decency. By oberserving TrafikMan and his fellow "superheroes" perhaps we can unlock the constraints of convention and think from a very different view. For artistic purpose only larr, dun go be a superhero yourself.
