Probably, many people, looking at creative and advanced people, thought that they were special, gifted, lucky. Scott Berkun in the book «Myths of Innovation » (The Myths of Innovation) writes about seven characteristic features of creative and advanced people:

7 characteristic features of innovators, a road among green hills

1. Perseverance. Innovation includes not only great ideas. We also need confidence, work and focus on results. Most see only the result of the embodiment of a creative idea, but not action: work and perseverance.

Invention is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perseverance. Thomas Edison

2. Elimination of self-restrictions. What we call «thinking beyond ». We need to fight stereotypes, be open to new ideas and solutions. Many believe that innovation, to a large extent, is psychology (and not just intelligence).

3. Take risks, make mistakes. One of the reasons why we restrain ourselves, set limits, is the fear of making a mistake. One should expect that some of the ideas in the learning process will turn out to be wrong. Therefore, it is worth quickly creating a prototype of an invention (programs, etc.), testing it, giving people a try, getting feedback, making changes instantly. As Scott Berkun writes, an experiment is an expected failure, created intentionally for the purpose of studying something. Instead of reproaching yourself for mistakes, accept them as new knowledge, new experience.

«I have had no failures. I only found 10,000 non-working ways». Thomas Edison.

4. Suspension. Our environment can and does affect how we feel. A comfortable environment is needed for creativity. Some prefer to work in a cozy office, but many thinkers went on long walks to solve problems.

5. Write things down. Many innovators and creative people have kept and are keeping journals in which ideas and thoughts are fluently entered. It can be a notebook, a notebook, a notebook. Moleskine, etc. Everyone had their own way of fixing thoughts.

6. Search for samples and create combinations. Ideas come from other ideas. Edison was not the first to invent the electric light bulb. But he was the first to create a working sample of an incandescent lamp using carbon for a thread. So it's worth looking at existing samples and thinking about how you can combine ideas to improve existing solutions

7. Curiosity. Many innovators are just curious people who like to solve problems. So it's worth practicing seeing things differently.
