There's this television ad that keeps popping up lately and it goes something like this: Is “today” “yesterday's tomorrow” or “tomorrow's yesterday”?
Then there’s another ad that questions whether zebras are “white” with black stripes or “black” with white stripes.
Well, it got me thinking... about the different ways a writer presents his/her point of view. Same topics with varying styles. And because all of us are so different due to our general makeup (obvious reasons of education, expertise, exposure, experience, etc etc), I felt it best to include varied versions of similar subjects here on my niche site. Some a tad dry, most “rocking” in their delivery (I 'specially like the latter) while others hit somewhere in-between.
Whichever way, they’re all priceless. They either “educate” you, “enlighten” you or just plain “entertain” you. 3 crucial elements. That’s what a good niche site is supposed to contain, right??
Anyway, this week I happened to publish 2 articles by 2 separate writers and for some reason or other, I felt that although they’re on different subjects altogether, they are somehow “in sync” with each other. One talks about “Taking Risks” and the other about “Making Changes”. But if you place them side by side and apply the actions on yourself, it would amount to an almost identical move.
Co-incidence??
Yup! My life is full of co-incidences but that’s another story altogether. The beauty of online research is being able to uncover many points of view in a single stroke (key tapping ie). Are we still on the same frequency?
The thing is, I do come across a great deal of great stuff especially on subjects that take my fancy - for instance paranormal activity, supernatural encounters, causes and cures for all those physical ailments I’ve been experiencing lately (someone's growing "old"??), but being a niche site for “creative thinking”, it would not be feasible to have them published on this website however tempting it is. Can’t always do what I want, yes??
Okay, I’m straying again…
Basically, my point is that in order to have “creative thinking” you have to be seeped into different layers of thinking mode in order to decipher what’s best for you to adopt. There’s no one way about it, not as far as I can see. This way you become the “Jack of all trades” but NOT “master of none”!!
If you’d read past articles on this website, you’d note for instance that one particular neuro-scientist by day is also a musician by night. You can conquer both worlds after all!!
And again, my point is like what I said at the beginning of the birth of my niche site: I wanted "CreativeThinkingForWomen.com" to select, publish and contain articles sourced from the “creative” minds of different souls (not in so many words, but you do get my drift, yes??).
Doris Lim
Doris Lim, the owner of "CreativeThinkingForWomen.com", has only one thing in mind when she started this niche site, and that is to create awareness to the general public that you don't have to be a "rocket scientist" to have "creative thinking". She believes that no one should be thought of as being smarter or more creative just because one possesses a higher education. Of course, that helps a little. But, she believes that anyone can be taught to "think creatively". All one has to do is tap into that brain one has been born with and bring out the creative side. With so much knowledge and information available on the internet nowadays, it will take alot of effort, energy and time to select the best authors/writers, articles, tips and "how-to's" to come together in a creative process in this niche site and make it the "1-Stop Centre for Creative Thinking". And because Doris is a woman, this website will be dedicated to all "women", thus the name "CreativeThinkingForWomen.com" (Softly whispering... "men" are also welcome to visit).
A little bit of history about Doris. Having both an Asian and European background (Chinese and Portuguese), her thoughts are equally governed by both the East as well as the West. That accounts for her love of the English Language (she's being accused of having a British accent when she converses with Americans) and her obsession with Korean television serials (obviously, she has to make do with English subtitles). But, enough chit-chat.
Her credentials stem from her extensive years of experience working with "great minds" who "think creatively" and "act creatively". She has prepared speeches for politicians, consumer activists, assisted authors and researchers in the production of books and newsletters and also dabbled in the advertising and public relations sector.
Thus her quest now - to boldly go where no mind has gone before (no, we're not watching "Star Trek") and seek the BEST stuff out there in the "Cyber World" in order to share with her readers/subscribers, the various aspects of "Creative Thinking".
