Learning to be Creative

Getting a whack on the side of my head is interesting. Since starting formal school, I have been trained and trained there is only one right answer. Even today our schools in Singapore emphasize one right answer. For example, B3 lost marks when he answered 743 in words as Seven Hundred Forty Three. This is how everyone has to write a check has to put in this way. However, in the exams, B3 lost half his marks because he did not put "and" between Seven Hundred AND Forty Three.

In life, there is no right or wrong answers. In school, there is only ONE right answer. Learning is be creative is first I have to unlearn there is no one right answer. Creativity requires hard work to unlearn many years of training. I shall start today.
