How to come up with a new creative idea?
Coming up with new ideas can be a challenging but rewarding process. Here are a few tips that may help you generate creative ideas:
- Keep an open mind: Try not to dismiss ideas too quickly and stay open to new and unconventional ideas.
- Take breaks: Step away from your work and give yourself time to relax and let your mind wander. This can help spark new ideas.
- Seek out new experiences: Exposing yourself to new people, cultures, and experiences can help stimulate creativity and inspire new ideas.
- Collaborate with others: Working with a group of people can lead to a greater diversity of ideas and perspectives.
- Use brainstorming techniques: Brainstorming is a popular method for generating ideas in which a group of people come together to generate as many ideas as possible, without evaluating them.
- Ask “what if” questions: Asking questions such as “what if we did this differently?” or “what if we combined these two ideas?” can help stimulate new ideas.
- Keep a journal: Writing down your ideas as they come to you can help you capture and later review and expand upon them.
Remember, coming up with new ideas is a process and it may take some time and effort. It’s important to be patient and persistent, and not to get discouraged if you don’t have a great idea right away.

What is the origin of the term copycat?
The term copycat (also written as copy-cat or copy cat) refers to the tendency of humans to duplicate the behaviour of others, as expressed in the saying, ‘monkey see, monkey do’. The expression may have originated from observing the habits of kittens that learned by imitating the behaviour of their mother. Copycat has been in recorded use since at least 1896, in Sarah Orne Jewett ‘The Country of Pointed Firs’ but the expression could be many decades older.

There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.

“Many of us would probably like to live with a certain degree of illusion about independent choice and uniqueness when it comes to products that are consumed in public (rather than in private) and possessions that define who we are as individuals. (Remember that indie band you used to like until they became “too popular”?) Although there is a growing trend of allowing consumers to personalize products, choices are of course constrained by what is made available to us in the first place. As a result, our individuality is expressed more through a unique combination of choices than specific possessions. But those of us with a high need for uniqueness just can’t help but sometimes feel that our distinctiveness is compromised by others’ choices mirroring our own. Fortunately for us, we often live in blissful ignorance. So far, I haven’t spotted another person wearing the same jacket.”
