Even if you are not a genius, you can use the same strategies as Aristotle and Einstein to launch the creative power of your mind and to plan your future better. The next seven strategies are designed to help you to think positive in order to find solutions for your problems. Those strategies are similar with the genius way of thinking and you could be sure they helped some important figures of history to discover new things.

1. Look at a problem from different perspectives.

Leonardo da Vinci thought that you would need to learn about restructuring a problem trough different method before knowing the form of a problem. The first look on a certain problem is too subjective. Often, the problem must be rebuilt so it could become a new problem easier to solve.

1. Visualize!

When Einstein thought about solving a problem, he found necessary to transpose this problem in different perspectives including diagrams. He always considered numbers and words as a secondary tool for solving a problem while visuals are far more important.

1. Produce!

Thomas Edison has 1093 patented inventions. A true science man will always produce many works, even if some of them are bad. Nobody will remember you for some useless device, but it will surely help you to produce quality work later.

1. Try new combinations

The modern generic science is based on some works of Grego Mendel, an Austrian monk that combined mathematics and biology to create this new science.

1. Form new relations; make connections between different topics.

Da Vinci forced a connection between the sound of a bell and a rock that hits the water. This is how he discovered sound waves and based on his discoveries, Samuel Morse invented the Morse code that is used even today.

1. Think metaphoric

Aristotle considered metaphor as a sign of genius and thought the man has the capacity to observe similarities between two separate zones. This is how he came up with some political views that are valuable even today.

1. Get ready for your chance

Every time we fail in a certain task, we end up with another problem solved. This is the first principle of a creative accident. Failure can be positive only if we focus on it as an unproductive result. Don’t think about it as a failure, think more about the new thing created.
