My e-book: Collection of Creative Ideas
Creativity is like scattered light going in different directions first to explore and observe in search of new ideas. Like scattered light those ideas on their own might be of little value. However; a creative idea emerges that make two strange and unrelated ideas become the seeds for a new idea. It is like marrying two different and distant plants from different cultures to produce new fruits with different tastes.
Creativity is like marrying two different and distant plants from different cultures to produce new fruits with different tastes.
Ali Anani, PhD
I published recently few mini-posts on hairy plants and what ideas they may possibly illuminate the mind with. The ideas started small, but then grew bigger and bigger. Fresh new insights appeared, new possibilities surfaced out and creative ideas shined. The unfamiliar became familiar, the lost thoughts became focused and the unlikely became likely.
Reading each creativity post on its own is the scattered light for the reader. This e-book is an attempt to focus the light of ideas under one cover. I hope this effort would enlighten at least few readers to produce more creative ideas of their own.
Creativity is like time with future with unknown boundaries. The past is the time gone. The present is the transient moment. But for how long the future shall extend nobody knows or shall know. It is undefined system. So is creativity. It has a boundless future because it keeps growing and its boundaries keep expanding and opening new possibilities for even more expanded future. Creativity is a system with unknown boundaries.
The book doesn’t limit itself to hairy ideas and it covers few other issues.
Where do creative ideas come from or originate? Again, creativity is boundless with an ever increasing potential. The more creative ideas we generate, the more possibilities we have to generate more creative ideas.
I find no road map to creativity for as we generate new ideas we also change the landscape of creativity. It is like trying to chase a shadow to have a “creativity road-map”.
Ali Anani, PhD
Creativity and possibilities feedback on each other and they know but expanding boundaries and opportunities.
Ali Anani, PhD
Having no road map is filled with uncertainty.
· It is a random walk.
· It is risky. It is challenging.
· It is walking in the darkness.
All of a sudden a starry idea emerges from nowhere with the light of possibilities that were a remote possibility. What seemed to be a complex problem may not be as one creative idea found a simple solution that surprised us why we didn’t think of it before.
I hope this e-book would act as a minor source for new ideas.

Fay Vietmeier I knew you would not agree and I expected this comment from you my dear partner. I meant (with the chemical ,mind operating inside) that when oxygen and hydrogen (two gases) they produce water, which is quite different from the "authenticity"of both gases. So, what I meant our ideas react and these ideas may have very little to do with the original ideas.

Ali \ud83d\udc1d Anani, Brand Ambassador @beBee ... you are "you" ;~) and I am "me" ... two strange seeds are we ;~) ... bursting forth in creativity ;~) Not sure that I agree with this statement: "Strangely, the product of both of us isn't related to the authenticity of either of us.' I see "authenticity" (of both) as indeed related to the "product of both" Authenticity is a vital to outcomes ... vital to relationships even for bees ;~)

Fay Vietmeier I am trying to find one or two words to reflect that we are two different seeds who produce creative ideas. Distant is space. Yes we are. Distant in spirit. I think we are just nest to each other. You. you are who you are and I am who I am Strangely, the product of both of us isn't related to the authenticity of either of us. Strange world that we live in. Who know what shall emerge tomorrow?

Fay Vietmeier Not only you read the book, but also found the time to mine the key points in it. Your modifications of some of them by adding words are fully acceptable. They make since . 13. "Holding Believes Firmly Don't hold too firmly to your ideas, beliefs and assumptions for you might break them. Do you agree? ... Or they may break you" I agree with your addition, This, is more"fulfilling"idea than before. ..Agreed One never knows what seed-thoughts might fall into fertile ground that has been plowed open ... waiting to receive (a coming post ;~) Shall do dear Fay. Being able to consider new IDEAS ... new BELIEFS will only happen if we have “some room in our cup” … “some empty space that we may fill ” ... because our mind is “NOT being “contaminated with some long-held and constraining beliefs" Very observant you are dear Fay. Will edit accordingly.

Fay Vietmeier My dear- I broke my eye glasses and I am now using an old one which I used few years back. I don't see my typing very clearly. This made me fail to correct what I stated before You mentioned that imagination is what we have to explore the wonders of this world. I may add here creativity doesn't only involve vivid imagination (such as the use of proper metaphors),, but it expands our limited world This is wrong. I meant not only expands our imagination, but also. Instead of typing does by error I typed doesn't. I am awfully sorry.

Dear Fay Vietmeier I thank you for your reshare. I do appreciate it. I learnt a lesson. It is there shall be always over-priced and under-priced stocks in the stock market. So, there shall be always over-evaluated posts and authors and under-evaluated posts and authors. I leaked one idea from my post of tomorrow. What I care mostly now is to throw the seeds. They might fall in a friendly soil and they may not. At least, I have done my duty. Again, I appreciate your sharing the post and your care to increase its reach.

How many times in our lives can we produce such an eloquent thought. If you do it shall be a landmark post. Believe me.

Dear Fay Vietmeier You are indeed a poetic spirit. Any author of a post has certain ides in her/his mind to communicate to the readers. Your comment did just this. It is amazing. I loved the example including you and I in writing together poems. Yes, are two different plants with different traits and cultures; yet our combination generated poetic science. This is interesting. You mentioned that imagination is what we have to explore the wonders of this world. I may add here creativity doesn't only involve vivid imagination (such as the use of proper metaphors),, but it expands our limited world. This is a theme of a post that I am drafting now with a metaphor from nature. I shall publish post to the one I am publishing tomorrow. T want to alert you to this post for one reason. This post has drained my imagination and writing it was a big challenge for me. I want to share the title now. It is: . Ideas Stock Markets- why authors and comments’ writers behave similarly? Not only the writing of this post was a serious challenge to me, but I may be criticised for writing it. I dwell on the readers to understand that is me and how I think. They have the right to agree or disagree. But it shall be different from any post I published. Great poets have great imagination and this is a trait that bring both of us abreast.

Zacharias \ud83d\udc1d Voulgaris More, if you finish writing a technical book and even before publishing it you start preparation of the next one. This is a higher level of antifragility . The author I am talking about is Zacharias \ud83d\udc1d Voulgaris

Don't worry about Ali. He's indestructible! :-) While other people have gone quiet during this difficult time, he wrote an ebook! If that's not antifragility & creativity, I don't know what is!

John Rylance When a comment writer writes a comment such as yours and explains the reasoning why he is expressing with transparency then these comments become a light bulb for me to find better ways than the ones I am following now. Your comment is exemplary of what I mean. I trust you for you also criticize when necessary. You are credible and your comments always resonate with me. Are all comments the same? I dare say no. I explain this in detail in a post that I plan to publish tomorrow. The post has the title "Ideas Stock Markets- why authors and comments’ writers behave similarly?". A provocative title maybe, but I put lots of energy in its writing. I hope you enjoy the e-book as much as I enjoyed your comment.
