Creative Thinking

There aren't many times that I've experienced in college thus far where I have seen two non related classes start to overlap, but recently this Com 320 class and my Entrepreneurial class have started to do so. Lately in class we have been talking about thinking outside of the box, and that has been a point of emphasis all year in ENTR 200. Im starting to realize that even if the exercises that we have been doing may seem kind of funny, they are all meant at changing how you approach problems that you encounter. You have to change your perception if you want to learn how to think outside the box. In our ENTR class we got a "thinking outside the box" exercise which is a great example of how to think creatively to solve a problem. The link for the exercise is here: http://www.officerave.com/blog/id_29-logic-puzzles-think-outside-the-box-puzzle.html. The challenge is to connect all of the dots with four straight lines without lifting your pen. Thinking outside the box is important to become a successful entrepreneur as well as being a good problem solver which is what I have been learning here in Com 320.
