It is important not to cease to set questions …
Do not lose in the course of time sacred inquisitiveness.
Albert Einstein
Inquisitiveness — characteristic line of the ingenious person. Hardly it is possible to meet the giant of thought who is not the inquisitive person. Thomas Edison, Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, Richard Fejnman — all of them possessed this line. Thanks to the inquisitiveness Richard Fejnman has become famous for set of adventures.
So, why inquisitiveness is important? Here four reasons:
- It makes active mental faculties
Inquisitive people always set questions and find answers. Their reason is always active. As the reason is similar to a muscle which becomes stronger thanks to frequent exercises, regular mental exercises stimulate your mental faculties.
- She helps reason to notice fresh ideas
When you something are carried away, your reason is adjusted on occurrence of fresh ideas. As soon as ideas come, they are distinguished at once. If inquisitiveness is absent, even the ideas which have appeared directly before you, can be missed that the reason is not ready to apprehend them. Only think, as many ideas could be gone for this reason!
- It opens new sides and possibilities
Being inquisitive, you can open for yourself new sides and possibilities which usually it is not visible. They are hidden behind a screen of a daily life, and inquisitive mind is required to glance there and to find out them.
- It gives lives interest
It is impossible to name a life of inquisitive people boring. In it there is no place to monotonous existence. Something always draws their attention, and always it is possible to take a fun with something. Instead of missing, inquisitive people conduct an active way of life.
Now, when we know, why inquisitiveness is important, I offer some advice for its development:
1. Keep a mind susceptibility
It is a necessary step on a way to inquisitiveness. Be ready to study, forget and study again. Some of the facts known to you can appear incorrect, and to be better in advance ready to admit such possibility and to change the opinion.
2. Do not consider something self-evident
If you simply perceive a world outer side, not trying to glance more deeply, you will precisely lose «sacred inquisitiveness». Never consider something self-evident. Try to glance under a surface of that you surrounds.
3. Incessantly set questions
True way to glance more deeply — to set questions: What is it? Why it is made so? When it has been made? By whom it is thought up? Whence originates? How works? "That", "why", "when", "who", "where" and "as" — the best friends to inquisitive people.
4. Do not name something boring
Arriving so, you close the next door of possibilities. Inquisitive people always see before themselves a door in the fascinating new world. Even if at the moment they do not have time for its studying, they will leave a door opened to return later.
5. Concern training with interest
If to perceive training as heavy burden — to look at things it will not want at all more deeply. It only will make burden heavier. But if to find a way to study with interest — you naturally it will want to learn more. Look at a life through an interest and participation prism and enjoy knowledge process.
6. Read the diversified literature
Do not go in cycles only in one sphere of a life; study also others. It will open before you new horizons, that in turn can clear interest to the further development. One of possible ways — to read the various literature. Choose the book or magazine on a theme new to you, and let with this text fascinating travel to the new world will begin.

Intuition — primary force. In this depth, behind last line where the analysis is not capable to reach, all originates.
— Ralf Uoldo Emerson
Practical intuition
Our intuition — the shortest way to efficiency, understanding, knowledge, innovations and decision-making. How to learn it to use?
You have an ability instantly to solve problems
Whether it happened to you to look at a problem and to understand a principal cause and a way of the decision it is instant, nothing analyzing? You have accustomed not to trust this internal voice, truly? Therefore you check intuition by practical consideration, and in most cases it appears the rights, whether not so?
You have an ability instantly to solve problems if you trust yourself. At all of us it is. How to use this force of the internal creator — a voice which breaks through all nonsense and speaks us the truth?
Six ways to strengthen intuition:
1. Show direct participation. Present itself on a place someone another. Even better — test the same. If you work in technical support service when somebody from employees calls with the complaint to speed of the printer — do not sit in front of the monitor, studying characteristics. Come off a chair and descend to look, that there occurs. Feel their disappointment! Plunge into business entirely is will strengthen your intuition. Great military leaders know about it. Get out of the bunker, go on a front line and look, feel, operate. Test the same, as others.
2. Dare to feel fear and pass through it. You do not like fear, truly? To me too. But the majority of us should live and find with it ways (En). If you not the superperson who has overcome fear — you find a way to use it for the blessing. The fear blocks intuition and amplifies, if we resist to it. Dare to feel fear. Do not resist to its any part. Do not hide it. Concentrate directly on it and pass through up to the end. On an exit you will become stronger and will receive sensation clearness. Having dared to feel fear, you will strengthen the intuition because it will learn you to hear and accept private world such what it is instead of with it to battle.
3. Co-operate with others at emotional level. When you contact to other person — face to face, by phone, in online — try to distinguish its emotions. Give them names. Whether the person angry, happy, full of hopes, joyful, suppressed or sad Seems? The more you are adjusted on emotion of people, the more deeply you understand various situations, and as that your intuition is better works. Intuitive presentiments and abstract ideas occur from this a source where emotions are born, therefore the is better you are able to define emotions of people, the is better you can create and communicate with the help of intuition. To distinguish and designate emotions — as the, and surrounding — effective exercise.
4. Disconnect internal judgements. When you condemn someone or something — including itself is a display not intuitions, and the negative energy blocking intuition. When your internal critic speaks: «It the fool», «It the ugly creature», «I thick» or «I will lose» — stop and think: «Why I it have told? What part breaks me balance?» When you will hear a voice of this critic, stop they be not stopping up (it will not work, it will be shown somewhere else), and directing in consciousness a positive question. When I catch myself on thought: «At me never it leaves», I meaningly change it: «As to me it to make?» If I am patient enough and I listen to an internal voice — he will prompt to me what to do. When my internal critic speaks: «It never will work», I wonder: «And what part of idea will work?» Or «what idea would be better?» When you will start to set — your subconsciousness will give out decisions through intuition.
5. Stay in loneliness. The best way — meditation. Find at least half an hour in day to spend alone with the thoughts. At , the author of blog Zen Habits, is (En). Stay some time alone with the thoughts, feelings, images. I have spent the life most part, almost not having representation about everything, that occurs in me. Finding time to listen to private world, you will find out, how much you actually a surprising and magic being. Possessing ability to hear in loneliness, you can learn to hear the internal voice, even when you not one, and to create strong and attractive intuitive ideas just when they will be necessary.
6. Set questions. In set. I name it intuitive bodybuilding. To set questions — an excellent way to strengthen intuition. The strongest inspirations come after long sessions of questions and answers. Gather group of inquisitive people and discuss complicated questions — philosophical, scientific, sociological, medical, literary. The basic force is given not by answers, and questions — opening not considered ways, stimulating occurrence of new questions and answers. Hardly there is the best way to train intuition, than brisk sessions of questions and answers.
Some say, that the intuition and is irrational — they simultaneously both are right, and are mistaken. Creative intuitive idea while you have not proved it. However any science begins with a hypothesis. And with what the hypothesis begins? As a source of the most successful, creative and original ideas the intuition — reason flash — Eureka serves.
All originates in intuition.
— Emerson

In what a secret of creative geniuses thanks to which class ideas are born?
Though creation of ideas can seem process casual and in something mystical, there is a simple and practical way to increase the chances of occurrence of good ideas.
Communications, communications, communications
To think out brilliant ideas everyone wants, but whether you were interested sometime, what such idea?
Try to think over it. The answer can be easier, than at first it seemed to you: ideas are communications.
Any idea, even the most simple is an association between the arisen earlier, already known ideas which have arisen earlier. Our reason constantly forms such communications — more often spontaneously and .
One more interesting property of these communications consists that anything it is impossible to tell about them in advance. Quite often ideas are formed by merge of two at first sight absolutely various concepts, made in the unexpected or unusual way. For creation of a mobile letter has connected ideas of a grape press and the machine tool for stamping of coins. For creation of the newspaper, leaving in the mass edition, has united large-scale advertising with the high-speed press. Creation of class ideas can seem case business — but it does not mean at all, that development of the given skill cannot be promoted.
and efficiency
As process of occurrence of ideas has casual character, hardly the direct approach here is possible. A unique way to raise chances of creation of good idea — to increase number of the ideas accessible to formation of communications. Even the most usual ideas serve as an initial material for ideas of higher level. The more at you ideas, the more material is at your reason to compare them and to give out the good. The Nobel winner has formulated this effective strategy in one offer:
The best way to think up good idea — to think up set of ideas.
Thus, a key to creation of brilliant ideas — fruitfulness. In questions there is no compromise between quality and quantity: only with quantity quality comes.
It is necessary to refuse a mythical image of the genius, which all ideas — successful. Can seem, that each sample of work of the genius is remarkable, but it occurs only because the greatest creations receive popularity. Nobody would manage to create brilliant creations, not being extremely productive. We will consider examples:
- It is known thanks to the theory of a relativity, but it also has published other 248 works.
- Wrote on a cantata every week, despite of bad state of health and weariness.
- Has created more than 600 compositions.
- Has received neither much nor a little. Only imagine quantity of the works not patented by it …
One more interesting fact about innovative ideas: their quality does not depend at all on quality of other ideas of the same author. Really, if to study the most productive periods of the majority of geniuses, it is possible to reveal the general principle: during creation of the best masterpieces they also suffered the greatest failures.
Great inventors, thus, do not care of creation of outstanding ideas: they simply think out ideas — any, the more, the better, in any place and at any time
How to receive set of ideas
If the best way to think out successful ideas — to create them by means of the extensive tank our problem — to fill this capacity as it is possible the big number of ideas. Here six advice, capable to help you to develop the type of thinking corresponding to "surplus of ideas»:
1. Expect occurrence of ideas
First of all it is necessary to get rid of such limiting belief, as «I not the creative person». Reject prejudices what to create ideas few elite is capable only. Usually it is already enough of it, that ideas have started to come to you.
2. Welcome silly and in general any ideas
Never it is necessary to concentrate on creation of fine ideas. Struggle always for their quantity. Ideas because in advance are afraid do not try to think out the majority of people at all, that their ideas will be named by "foolish" or "silly". Do not pay attention: ideas which are considered silly today, can become a basis for revolutionary idea tomorrow. And when you at last will have such idea, anybody any more will not recollect less successful. (As to fear to speak about the ideas, keep in mind, that provocations — the latent form of shame, aspiration to discompose you.)
3. Be opened for new impressions
Your sense organs absorb the information which the reason applies subsequently to creation of associations. The more you deal with various situations, people and places, the you are more than fuel give to the reason for formation of communications. Learn to welcome a variety in the life: travel, try new dishes, read magazines at which usually you do not look. Be not afraid to do habitual things in another way.
4. Fix ideas immediately
Develop a habit to fix all ideas. Use a notebook, a handheld computer or a dictophone. The way of fixing has no value, simply make so that the tool for record of ideas always and everywhere was near at hand. If you do not write down idea at once a minute of occurrence, the majority of them you will forget — and even worse, you at all do not learn, that you had ideas. Each time when the reason notices your attention to its ideas, it awards you other ideas.
5. Be grateful for ideas
Each time when the idea has come to a head — any — be grateful for it. Developing this habit, you create an additional positive reinforcement, stimulus for reason, encouraging creation of new ideas.
6. Ideas come in a stream
For some days you could not think up any idea it is normal. Ideas will start to come suddenly, one for another, like the rough river. Sometimes ideas come so quickly, that you hardly have time to write down them. Do not worry during natural recessions, but be ready to take advantage to the full of a stream of ideas when it will gush.
