Break Free

by Honman Chan

Break free from your rigid mind and you can be highly creative if you have flexible and adaptive minds. Creative people can make change easily and whereas not creative people learn by regular practice.
You must admit that you are wrong when you are wrong. Many people are so concerned with being right that all their mental energy is consumed by bluffing, blaming and denying. If you are wrong, simply admit it and get on to find the solution to resolve it.
You must face up to your mistakes. Not creative people think that it is a sign of weakness to say, "I made a mistake." But in real case, it is on the contrary, it is actually a sign of mental maturity, personal strength and individual character. Please remember, no one is perfect and everybody makes mistakes every single day.
You must be flexible with new information or knowledge. Creative people can easily said, "I changed my mind." It is amazing that how many uncomfortable situations people get into and stay in because they are unwilling or afraid to admit that they have changed their minds.
You must be willing to change your mind. If you get new information or knowledge or if you find that you feel uneasy about a previous decision, accept the fact that you have changed your mind and change your decision. Do not feel embarrass, it is alright to change your mind. Please do not let anyone or anything affect your new decision. If a decision does not serve your best interests as you see them now, you must have the courage to change your mind and then move on to do better things.
Keep in mind that you are not perfect and you must be willing to admit that you are not perfect. You make mistakes, you are wrong on a regular basis. But you are willing to learn from your mistakes and correct your mistakes. This is a show of intelligence and courage.
With new information and new technology, concept will change and you must be willing to change your mind. What you know about now will change completely in the coming years so
