Bringing In Independence

The imagination we have, looks for new applications.

What problems am I facing right now?

What does my loved one need to be more independent?

Can something be done?

I find that the imagination helps to locate solutions.

Here is one:

Imagine What Can Be Done With Imagination

A concrete jungle? Create a jungle in the concrete? Can it really be made possible?
With real plants in the heart of the city with limited ground space?

Well! Take a look!



And how can it be a DIY?

The Innovative One With The Fibonacci Numbers

Researchers have organised five clusters of capacities that seem to be common to innovative individuals.
They have broadly labelled them under:
1. Association
The capacity to make links with unconnected materials to create a-new. Metal and glass for spectacles; for binoculars and massive corporate buildings. The capacity to use biology and physics and chemistry to create a-new. Medicine, food science and drinks. The capacity to use economics and dance and singing and multi-media for education, entertainment and business. Ipads and Iphone. GPS. Fusion cuisine. Online-learning. E-banking. Interplanetary travel. Wow! The capacity to make associations!

2. Questioning
The capacity to frame questions: What if...? And then...? Why not..? All leading to newness. Fantastic discoveries result.

3. Observation
The innovative individual has the capacity to pay attention to details and characteristics. Of spending patterns; materials behaviour; nature and types of responses; of traits and trends and taste. The result: Diet Coke. Hybrid vehicles. GM plants. Cross-selling. Cross-overs: classical singers into jazz and pop and musicals. Fusion music: ethnic instruments combining with traditional european orchestral ensemble. Connections are open-ended.
The innovator makes smart-bold connections.

4. Networking
The innovative individual has friends doing all kinds of stuff in diverse fields. His frequent contact with them enriches his perception of space, time, concept, meaning, purpose and relevance. He sees and thinks in different levels.

5. Experimental
The innovative individual is trying new stuff often. Mostly making. Adapting. Modifying. Exploring.
Re-inventing. Re-configuring. Re-thinking.

And there is a new-old reality at our fingertips literally.

For the innovative one: another gem!

A Journey Into Understanding

Brene Brown studies human connection -- our ability to empathize, belong, love. In a poignant, funny talk at TEDxHouston, she shares a deep insight from her research, one that sent her on a personal quest to know herself as well as to understand humanity. A talk to share.

Sand Art


Sand art requires dexterity and a mind that can think ahead. 

It is the medium for a person who enjoys improvisation.

Take a look at this presentation. 

 It is beautiful: 
art strokes and shapes, 
meaning and transitions, 
music and mood. 

Enjoy

A Bicycle In The Hand Of An Imaginative Guy

If I was wondering what I would do if I had a bicycle, I would want to do something like this:
