Chapter 6 Part 1

In Chapter 6 of Launching the Imagination by Mary Stewart, she talks about the seven characteristics of creative thinking. Conviction best describes who I am as a person. Quoting from Stewart, “Creative people value existing knowledge. Since new ideas are often derived from old ideas, it is foolish to ignore or dismiss the past.” (129). I like being open to ways to do things new or differently then what I am used to. I get to see if my way or the different way is more productive or not.
