Topic: Surviving the economy with creative thinking. (Read 967 times)

Of course we have to be able to adapt to current developments. with the development of technology we must be able to take advantage of it, especially with young people whose enthusiasm is still burning, they must be able to have their own creativity to create business opportunities or profits, with the current development of technology there are many things you can do to make money, but the problem is that not everyone has creativity, even many young people are stuck in their comfort zone which doesn't produce results, like in my neighborhood there are many young people who just stay up late every night playing online games and don't produce any results. and when I asked why you don't look for a job so you can make money, their answer surprised me, they answered "why work, the president is already there" I don't know what that means, but I'm sure they don't have the desire to have a job or are reluctant to take a step at it. better.

I agree with you, of course with today's technological developments, we can make money from social media, and many people have become successful by doing things that may be their ideas and creativity. If we talk about destiny, then my own destiny can be changed if we ourselves have a strong determination to be successful. It is a wrong idea to only survive on poverty because basing it on destiny.

Starting from last two years till date the economy has been getting worst till date. And even trying to cut cost this days it still does not change anything. All I know is that we are going survive. We just have to have our own way of feeding our selfs. And making money now should be our focus because if you don't make money there is no way you can help your self without getting to do something for your self if it's business do business just do something. This period is not for convince so hustle more.

When you are potential in creative thinking, you will have all it takes to improve your economic as a leaders of a country which are some of the things that is affecting many countries economics today because, the people they elected to be their leaders are not well creative in positive thinking.

Many have used crypto to enrich themselves in their various areas because they listen to their crypto facilitators who thought them how to be creative thinking towards crypto investment and they are using it wisely to improve their investment.

when the economy is difficult to find work and employment is difficult. yes, you have to be creative in terms of making money so that you can survive in the economic crush. one of the creative thoughts in making money is through crypto currency. and on bitcointalk you can also look for coins that in the end can be exchanged into fiat money for free.

For you to survive in today's challenges, you need to take care of your own business and exhaust your creative thinking. Otherwise, you will find yourself financially challenged because the living expenses alone will give you headache as the price of commodities today is continuously in the upward trend.

There are some personal tips that I can share how I tackle this situation -
- plan ahead
- monitor your expenditures, as much as possible be frugal, don't buy unnecessary things
- look for side jobs, these days you can find additional work by online freelancing jobs
- tend your own garden (backyard/terrace/hydroponics)
- take care of your health, you don't want to add your medical bills to your expenses
- practice minimalism; live simply

We are in an era where the world is experiencing very rapid development and change in all areas, including the economy. Many of the systems we used yesterday may no longer apply today. Likewise, the system we use today may no longer be relevant if used in the future. To continue to survive and be able to adapt, the ability to think creatively is very necessary and crucial in times like now.

Creativity can be obtained/developed by learning from the internet such as YouTube, social media and so on, whether starting from an early age or as an adult, it doesn't matter what is important is the intention to learn and being persistent. then you will be able to survive even though the world economy is increasingly developing and very competitive.

Good living, good societies and developments lies on creativities. Creativity is an office to produce wealths and brings about the beautiful nature of lives.
Creativity can offer one and independent opportunity without hoping on the government to provide you means for survival. The World of creativities could either be entrepreneurship, technology or skilful creativeness. Just as long it offers human wants is potnetial of providing flexibility means for survival. The economy is growing too hard and only creativities can conquer the situation.

substitute for our creative intelligence unfortunately might not be long until we got substitute, we know that AGI is surfacing these days, but certainly these days the technology of artificial intelligence are definitely not sufficient enough to replace many of jobs therefore we still got plenty of chance ourselves.
I think best course of action if we want to compete in this world, we are facing human and artificial intelligence here, is to also join the bandwagon of artificial intelligence basically become the deployer of these machine learning models.
hopefully though government will start to regulate about the use of AI so that it won't be overused and cause economic discrepancy.
the thing that i'd like is invention of universal basic income for many people if AI is utilized.
the tax can be burdened to these AI robots for the sake of humanity.

the main problem that i have found is, many people also starting to critical thinking, so many people try to invent things these days, can we be sure that we can be one of them inventor that got ahead of the competition by leveraging any edge case advantage that they have? I don't think so, its tough world to live in.

Correct. Something that uses creativity and innovation will actually give rise to profitable business or investment opportunities in a very competitive economy. For those affected by an economy that is no longer easy, it could even be said to be very tight, this is what must be addressed, how to earn income amidst intense commodity competition.

Therefore, to survive in a situation like this you must have creativity and innovation to create jobs to generate income, including opening your own business that can compete with others or investing. However, you must go through research and be careful in looking at business and investment opportunities. Nowadays learning something is very easy and easy to find using social media and the internet.

It comes with knowledge sometimes but sometimes with experience as well. So even if a person has experience and no knowledge, they can still be creative in their craft sometimes because they know how things are done in the perfect way so that they make an impact. We often see that people with experience are preferred in any field because recruiters know that someone with experience can do a certain work with more efficiency.
So when we talk about creativity and being creative, people with experience can always find different ways to show their creativity because I believe that experience is a mixture of knowledge and experience while knowledge alone doesn't include experience.

There is no substitute for our creative intelligence to keep up with the current era of globalization and to cope with the current economic situation. Creativity is to invent something new or think of something new that will give good results in the future. But it is also true that in today's competitive world, everyone is using creative intelligence to survive in this tough economy because everyone is aware. And many technologies have come into the market to facilitate our creative thinking. But to survive in the economy we have to use our intelligence. There are many things we can do to diversify our investment field, Like now we can invest in cryptocurrency. As much as possible can be earned from outsourcing. And for future bad times, we can save some now as part of awareness.

There's something about creativity. The idea of a man living in one country will greatly differ from the idea of another man living in another country. The country we live has very impact on our reasoning. The opportunities you see will influence your behaviour. Someone in a working country will definitely be smarter than someone in a country that is not working.

So, it takes more than idea to survive as the government must create a working environment for the people to build on for survival.

Some people can still survive even if they are less creative but they just follow the proper standards of living. The only thing is that, their state of living can only be simple. I'm not saying those who are creative are now better than them, as some of them are still not rich. To do a bad thing doesn't always need a creativity. They can be deceiving because they are easy money but we should think about the consequences after it. It's not worth it.

I think that being creative comes with knowledge and you rather say that we should back them up with a good morals, so that we can use our creativity in a proper way where we and others can only benefit.

Nowadays, critical thinking is not really performed due to the power of ai. Most students rely on ai (not all, but maybe a large portion of students), that is why this generations is having a hard time to practice or develop this mindset. But cant blame anyone due to the progressions of high technology of these days.

 In order to keep pace with the pace at which the world is moving forward today, we need to work beyond conventional meditation concepts. In the current era of globalization, everyone is using advanced technology.
There is no substitute for creativity in this day and age. If there is creativity in every activity of our daily life, development will happen much faster. So in order to survive in the present tough economic era, we must have a touch of creativity in our work as well as the power to think outside the conventional meditation concept. Otherwise, survival will not be possible.

Those who have more income spend more and those who have less income spend less. So I think those who have more income should calculate and save some money.  One can earn money but if one has to work hard to cultivate the land then only a farmer can be successful.

Globalization is driven by the rapacious globalized capitalism. Under this economic contraption, a world of work is being instituted globally. Thus, Production has occupied a central location in all economic engagements. Hence, in all place of work, both management and labour must develop creative acumen to produce the best products due to the highly militarized competition.
Again, production and it's social relationship, dexterity and creativity are human centred enterprises. It is the individuals who must be creative and not the machines nor  the computers . Dexterity and creativity could not be learned nor acquired due to their innate characteristics in man. Educative information only enhances the innate potentialities of individuals.
Therefore, the only mechanism that could be deployed and  be redeployed to attain an optimum production possibility frontier and high productivity in a place of work is to engage labour who has the innate potentialities and creativity in the production of that particular products under question. This method would enable the organization to outsmart the rest competitors in the market. It could also lead to monopoly and other oligopolistic tendencies.

It would be better if you were really clear about what kind of thinking you actually mean by economic survival. At present the people of the entire world are sufficiently aware. Most of the people in this world make decisions based on the situation. If a person is supposed to earn less every month, then he must have spent the entire month according to his plan  And those who have their own land can produce crops there if they want. But in your words you have not expressed the correct idea of your real thinking. So clearly what you mean is not understood. I think now people are quite conscious and very committed to spend their money according to a certain plan and keep some amount of money in savings.

It is getting harder to get ahead because now not only you are competing against the people that are near you, now you are competing against the whole world, and other than trading this is probably the first time the average person had to do this.

So it is not surprising many are falling behind as the level of competition has increased tremendously, however even those that are highly skilled are having problems too, as now that AI is becoming more common, many of those people are finding themselves being replaced by a piece of code which can do their job more efficiently and for a cheaper price.

Innovation is the key to survival in this world right now,if you are not innovative it becomes hard for you.the world is getting harder everyday and you need to be creative to meet up.new ideas sells and can fetch you money.is better to spend time more thinking on what to innovate or create than spending time thinking about problems that will add no value to you instead increases you problem.

Saving is like putting money in a piggy bank, but investing is planting that money in a money tree. Gotta make that cash grow! Diversifying your income streams is key too – think freelance gigs, side hustles, or even starting your own mini-empire. Imagine it as a financial jungle gym – the more paths you build, the less likely you are to get stuck. But don't forget the real secret weapon: creativity! When times are tough, that's when the innovative thinkers shine. Think outside the box, explore unconventional ideas, and remember, necessity is the mother of invention.

Leadership can be a pain sometimes, but don't wait for them to fix everything. Be the change you wanna see! Collaborate, share resources, and build a community that thrives, not just survives. It's all about supporting each other and rising above the struggle, together. And hey, don't just focus on getting by – dream big! Set ambitious goals, learn new skills, and plan for a future that's not just stable, but awesome

Yes, at first I thought life was normal and I didn't know about the economy, I was just an ordinary employee who worked 8-12 hours a day, then I thought that if it continued like that I wouldn't be able to get anything, even though currently I still don't get what I want but I I can now think and know what capital gains investment is and other economic terms that I didn't understand before, this is all thanks to the rapid development of the internet.

Creativity has always made people unique. Creative people never stop at something. To survive in the world you have to be creative. The world is a global village. To survive here you have to be creative and good at anything. You can increase your exposure by innovating something new. The world has now become a competitive battlefield.  So you have to be creative to sustain yourself.

People contribute to the expansion of economic activity when they utilize their creativity to produce goods or services that meet the needs and desires of consumers. By creating products or offering services that are in demand, they stimulate spending, generate income, and create employment opportunities for others in the community. The cultivation of creativity and entrepreneurial spirit not only enriches people's lives but also holds the potential to drive positive change and economic development on a broader scale.

As individuals strive to improve themselves and their circumstances, they not only enhance their own well-being but also create ripple effects that benefit those around them. By building successful businesses or pursuing creative endeavors, individuals can inspire and empower others, fostering a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship within their communities. We can indeed create a more vibrant and prosperous economy for all by embracing creativity and seizing opportunities for growth and innovation.

By having creativity, we can produce work that we can sell and have value and this can help our own economy of course and if we have high demand then we can take advantage of people who don't have jobs in the environment around us and work in business. What we have built can certainly also help them in terms of the economy.
If we can change ourselves for the better, of course we will also be able to change the environment around us too and this is mutually beneficial to each other.

Unfortunately nobody really cares about that part at all. I understand that we need to figure out a way, but are we? We are not really looking into it and letting people be however. It doesn't matter if the nature is going to crash, it doesn't matter if the rich are too rich and the poor are dying in poverty, it doesn't matter if some nations are rich enough to trash their expired unsold stuff while others are dying of starvation.

None of these matters, nobody cares about anyone but themselves which results with not figuring out a new way. This is why we are not going to find a way to fix any of this, not because we can't fix it but because we do not care enough about it to fix it. That's the most important part.

Creativity is the lifeblood of aspirational goals. It contributes to improving our work moving people forward and improving our country. A creative government is a living system which develops and enhances the dignity of the country. Thoughts ideas and plans can come from all people for that you have to change yourself. Changing yourself will automatically change the world. Discreet variability is a sign of Progressive government attracts creativity.

As the Earth ages, human survival on Earth becomes more challenging. We always say that with the change of time, technology is improving and due to the improvement of technology, our life is easier but only with the improvement of technology, our life will not run but some other things need to be well for our life to run smoothly. We are in a position at the current economic stage where the value of money is depreciating but the value of goods is only increasing. Earlier people used to earn less money but with that less money they could fulfill all their wishes because then the prices of things were less but now they have to go with back filled money to fulfill their dreams. If we don't update ourselves and change our thinking at this stage of the economic situation, we cannot keep up with the times. We need to change our thinking and create multiple workplaces. Work harder than before and always look for alternative sources of income. Only if we can do such creative thinking can we keep pace with the world.

There should be something wrong with the way we live our lives with the concept of technology that has developed which makes it easier for people to make money. Technology provides space for anyone to find work and the great thing is that working in this sector does not require an office or a set time as usual. If we are unable to adapt and are afraid that our jobs will be replaced by AI or robots, then day by day we will be left behind. Have a big heart and need to think big because that is the thinking we have to instill, even though there are many older generations who are unable to keep up with increasingly developing technology.

Without us realizing it, technology is increasingly developing and we are required to continue to adapt in this life because if not we will continue to be left behind. Giving up and accepting fate as it is is not a wise decision because we are not trying to change it, but we must have a perspective to face this problem. Fight inability to become capable because nothing is impossible when someone dares to take risks and is willing to do anything.

You have used the word creative multiple times but what you actually mean by the word creative?

Working smart or creative business idea to sustain this rapidly changing economy?

No matter how hard you work and how creative you become, still you need other factors like better communication skills/ selling your idea to other people, and if it's a job how to contribute to your employer and make your position as irreplaceable.

That is just the perfect solution to survive the present inflation affecting the globe entirely. That is why I always emphasise that when working, you shouldn’t think about working hard or working smart. That doesn’t mean that if you work hard or smart, you won’t make it. No, you will make it, but in this current situation around the globe, you will somehow find it hard to survive. But when you join the two together, you will see how you will succeed, like you are the only one living on earth. 

Some ways to work hard and smart are like the one you mentioned, which is that you should be creative and create something new, like skills, entrepreneurship, or even modifying what has been forgotten for a long time. You know people will be impressed and be ready to pay whatever it takes to achieve or get what you are producing, marketing, or selling. All this will increase your income and make the current inflation around the globe so simple for you because you will find it easy to get the funds. 

But thinking is free. It is the same as dreaming although dreams are often unrealistic and then we are not making an action to fulfil it, but when we have less or no money, we do not also have a food or can't eat a better food which is essential for a person to think better but for some, as long as they can eat something, there brain can now function and they can always start small and earn money to have resources and then improve their crafts.

Thinking of our situation now can motivate us to do better and if we will only think that we are doomed, well we will be doomed. I do not want to be like that as it looks too bad and only shows that I am weak enough.

Creativity isn't solely born from desperation or the need for survival. It's an inherent human capacity, fueled by curiosity, imagination, and the desire to express ourselves. From cave paintings to avant-garde art, history shows creativity flourishing even in relatively stable societies. Think of the innovators, artists, and inventors who pushed boundaries and enriched our lives, often driven by intrinsic desires rather than external pressures.

While external challenges can certainly act as catalysts for creative problem-solving, they don't dictate its existence. Struggles can indeed push us to find solutions, but they don't define the scope or nature of creativity. Play, exploration, and a desire to understand the world around us are just as powerful drivers of creative expression, regardless of socioeconomic circumstances.

Every society faces unique challenges, and individuals within them navigate them in diverse ways. Some may turn to creativity to overcome obstacles and seek new opportunities, while others might focus on more traditional solutions or simply endure. The key is to acknowledge and appreciate the spectrum of responses, recognizing that creativity is just one tool in a vast human toolbox.

If you are a creative person, it means that you are a strategic individual. When you have that attitude, you can easily survive in life and reach what you want to happen in life, which exists when you think creatively, that's for sure.

And not everyone has that gift called creativity as an individual. So if you notice that you have such an ability, take advantage of it to use it to help you or us in the development of our lives, and when that happens, we can even help the economy of our country.

For those who dare to try new things and are also willing to change their mindset from the ordinary to the more extraordinary, they will definitely be one step ahead of people who still like their comfort zone. Because people who prefer to think creatively will definitely move more to realize their own thoughts so they can continue to adapt to an environment that is always changing rapidly like now. And at this time everyone must be able to measure their own abilities and assess how far they have stood out from other people, because we all still have to continue to struggle through new and more creative things in life.

I mean surviving the economy surely is a difficult thing with this kind of government its really difficult for most people to survive or probably able to achieve some kind of financial freedom so that we are going to be able to live a good life in the economy, as we can see the system is really broken with the inflation keep on hitting most of the people are just slaves and system are just design probably 8 pm-5 pm jobs working on there whole life, where study shows that it is now really possible to be rich by just working on your full-time job with a minimum salary.

What we really need is a creative mind where we are going to keep on learning and advancing, trying new things that are going to give us more chances to fight and survive the economy, learning how to start a business, learning how we are going to handle money, being financially literate is one of the most important things that I learn and with that, I'm able to be better at this thing and keep on creating ways how I'm going to be able to create multiple sources of income.

What is important is we keep on adapting, we keep on learning, we keep on being creative, dont just settle for less because that is just what they really wanted for you, just to work and then encourage you to spend your money on things that you dont really need or things that you can't really afford.

Yes, creative thinking is what we need I'm order to survive this economy. But let's not be deceived into creatively doing bad things in order to survive. And also let's not be part of those who leave basic knowledge only to rush into things and call it creativeness. It'll be very unfortunate to lose what you have cause you're trying to be creative. Regardless, think outside the box, but back it up with knowledge.

True, the world is evolving at a rapid pace and those who lack creativity and the ability to adapt and change, will be left behind, without a doubt. So, it has become a necessity for people to try and become sharper with their skills and whatever they do because competition keeps getting tighter over time. People are getting stronger and more skilful in their crafts unlike before when a certain field used to have just a few experts while in today's world, there are more than enough people with expertise in every single field.

So, no matter what a person does in general to earn a living, they will need to up their game as the time goes so that they aren't replaced and there isn't someone on the corner who is taking away all the attraction and attention because of being more resourceful and upgraded in the same craft.

Creative thinking is like a superpower in today's world. It's about coming up with cool ideas, connecting the dots in unexpected ways and finding clever solutions. In this fast-changing world, being creative helps you stay ahead, adapt to new stuff and stand out from the crowd. It's all about having a mindset that loves trying out new things and thinking outside the box

There is no way to survive in a downturn in economic conditions and people are forced to make every effort to survive. Without innovation and ideas for developing things, human life will be much more difficult in an increasingly chaotic economy because people have difficulty making ends meet. There is no way to get out of financial problems if people cannot make money and work is something that is quite necessary. Currently, jobs are quite difficult to find and for ordinary people, ideas and innovation are quite difficult to develop because of the lack of opportunities.

The government must develop human resources long before this happens because if today we are faced with bad economic conditions they can adapt. But unfortunately the government never wants to develop human resources and instead they focus more on developing infrastructure and buildings which have little impact on ordinary people.

Indeed, there are also people who, when under pressure, have a trigger to be creative, even though in fact we are required to always be creative to improve our finances in the future. Especially in the digital era which is increasingly developing rapidly, information is very easy to obtain. All that is needed is the courage to see from a different point of view, the courage to think upside down, the courage to connect various different patterns to be brought (jump) into the process of unlimited imagination space. This is the creative process that you need to have in facing an economy that will not be easy in the future.

I believe there’s always a solution to every problem, but you can’t set a certain time when will be that problem will be given solution. So if you are struggling with your daily budget and eating 3x a day is quite impossible, then how would you manage to be creative and resourceful to gain profits when you can’t even solve your daily problem.

In this case, you need a helping hand. And by the time you can recover, then that’s the best time to think creatively and be innovative with regards to your finances. Invest if you can while staying in your present job. And learn to diversify if you think you’re seeing progress in your first investment. Changes is unstoppable so dive with the changes as well so you can experience positive changes happening in your life.

when you are a creative person then you will definitely make money easily but if you don't have ambition, it's the same as zero, there are many cases like this.
A creative thinker must have big ambitions, this is useful so that every idea that comes to mind will be realized well and perfectly.
creative people who have big ambitions will usually be able to make the world better, they will continue to look for solutions to every problem that arises and present it as an answer, they will also be able to make money even from unexpected ways.

As they say, prevention is better than cure, so what you said is exactly what someone should do with their finances. Always spend your money after planning your budget, and do it in the way so that you don't regret even a penny of what you've spent and this can only be done if you have already thought everything through when you get your income.


I've seen a lot of people making this mistake, they always overspend when they are earning well and never save anything and then they regret doing this in the future when they don't earn enough anymore because life is unpredictable, you never know what happens tomorrow, so it's better if you plan your tomorrow with what you have today instead of thinking that you will get more for tomorrow because you never know.

Everyone really needs to be able to think more creatively in their own lives, regardless of where someone lives. Because without having creative thinking in all conditions, of course it will always be difficult for everyone to change their own economic conditions at any time and will continue to be hindered by people who have advanced through their own thinking.

So using the internet to look for ideas that can make us more creative has become something that is absolutely mandatory for everyone if they want to develop further in these difficult economic conditions. Because for those who are lazy to think or are already frustrated with thinking, of course they will not get anything in their life except for real difficulties which they will continue to face forcefully.

Truthfully creative thinking is a key to today world but without challenges propelling such thinking can't be easily achieve, it's this kind of economy and life challenges that serves as motivator to creative thinking, eg Isaac the son of Abraham was blessed by his father even the land his father gave him was blessed but he encounter stronger challenge that made to know there is another solution because that cam a point where the only source of water he has by his father was taken, he needs be creative enough to know that he can dig another well and such made him reap in hundred fold more than the owner of the land even when he was stranger there. Is short form many leave in that land never know they can get water or dig another well until Isaac face the challenge and dig a well there, that means challenges can make you discover hidden things. Without hardship or challenges it will be difficult to be creative because there will be all round comfort but challenges act as propellers to creativity.

Sometimes when someone has pressure this will trigger them to be able to create more easily compared to not having any pressure because if we have pressure of course this will make us more active in producing work that we can finish well and there are also those who have to look for a special place only then can they put out their ideas to turn them into works of high value. Currently, there are lots of ideas to look for on the internet, we just need to take what suits our needs.

This economic situation is hitting everybody on both sides and this hardship is increasing it is now looking as if these politicians are the ones manipulating us and we need to find a way of getting rid of them if you don't deliver in your office there be a Constitution that the president or whoever it maybe should be removed, that way we can get the attention of the politicians if not if we continue like this and we continue to collect money from them, then it will be difficult to be able to achieve that. and the money is not even enough for employers i still wonder how some people survive in these current times. and the government is not even doing anything about increasing the salaries of these workers these are things that are supposed to be revised but no they don't care.  and this economic issue is a global issue and they will latter find a way of solving it over time.

actually it's not easy to think creatively or maybe I'm the only one who feels that way. the foundation for being creative sometimes appears amidst pressure that is almost unavoidable. a kind of instinct that automatically comes to mind and is able to create new profitable opportunities. There are factors such as the environment, activities and people who are boring when looking at the economic situation as good but not at all. in the creative work industry it can be a solution to stagnant ideas but quite a few ideas are accepted if the implementation process is not structured. The way to think creatively for individuals by utilizing resources on the Internet is slightly different  depending on our way of thinking because it requires deft techniques or rather methods outside of procedures.

People try to get out of difficult situations, but sometimes they may not even have the opportunity to try. We are trying to make our wishes come true, but it is not as easy as we think, but we should not give up trying.

To optimize our own economy, we must make plans within our current conditions and work to achieve our goals. Sometimes we have very little time, and sometimes we have to find this time ourselves under difficult circumstances. People who strive are more likely to get closer to their goals.

This is the thing that many people miss. I mean when you are dealing with a lot of life situations, how could you even work and do something else? I have to spend my entire day from very early in the morning to about 9 pm at evening at hospital, and then I go home, and I eat and then I sleep.

I work during hospital thankfully, and make some money and I am glad that I have that job and I make good enough money there, but that doesn't mean that I make a lot of money, don't think of it like I am on some loft with my private plane waiting, I have debts like everyone and barely surviving, but thankfully my job is one that pays well, I only have this situation because of life troubles. All in all, I can't do anything else, I have 2 hours a day, and I am not going to start using that to start thinking outside of the box.

We are now at such a stage in the economic situation that we simply cannot think of anything. The price of every commodity has increased whereas the monthly salary of an employee has not increased. The amount of money that could be marketed completely with earlier now requires almost double the amount of money to be marketed. Where before we could think about something easily, now we have to think very hard and before making a decision we have to think several times about how this decision can affect our life later. We have reached a very bad stage of economy but still if we plan properly then we can recover ourselves even in worse situation. At such a stage of the economy, we cannot be satisfied with only one source of income, but we have to find multiple sources of income. But we can easily survive these tough times when we have multiple sources of income.

The problem is that when technology gets better, we do not get easier jobs, we do not live better life neither, we get unemployed. This isn't some dreamland where we improve the world so that people could do whatever they want, we do not have universal basic income, we have robots and AI taking over our jobs and technology makes us not earn as much as we could. Who earns? The boss that bought the robot instead of you earns, the robot makes more product and you just pay it once that's it. Whereas when we are talking about a human, you need to pay it all the time and they may not earn that much for you.

This is why it's clear that we need to realize this isn't some great situation for any of us. We need to figure out a way to benefit everyone from these improvements.

It is good for us to look into our environment and try to solve a particular problem that will in turn bring financial gains to us. If an idea ends at the creative thinking stage, then it can be said to be daydreaming. Creative thoughts are best appreciated when those ideas in our head come into reality where people can use and get benefits from then. Most times, even when an ambitious person creates new ideas, certain factors tend to hinder the smooth actualization of those ideas. Those factors include:

• fear
• lack of adequate resources
• poor commitment and determination
• government policies
• poor market validation

A person might conceive creative ideas and still not work towards bringing it into reality because of fear of failure. "What if the people/the market don't accept my idea? This thought has made lots of people pause their plans. This also happens when you do not have enough resources to carryout your goals. Sometimes, you might have all you need to start work immediately but your idea goes against the governments policy.

No matter the idea we are able to come up with, we should also consider the challenges associated with it and sort out means of overcoming  those challenges. To be a creative thinker, you should also be prepared to be a risk taker.

Waiting is not a solution in increasingly difficult economic conditions and not having creative thinking to develop existing potential will make our lives even more difficult. There are many problems that are happening and also many people are losing their jobs because the economic process is getting worse so that employees have to be cut because they are unable to provide sales and in the end people become unemployed again.

Technology changes many things in the traditional order and technology makes work easier because there are human resources who are able to carry it out. Technology can also destroy the jobs of other people who do not think innovatively because of competition. Without creativity and not having good ideas, our lives will be much more difficult amidst the rapid development of technology.

Your topic is too vast to understand. What kind of creative thinking are you referring too? Is it with job, business, or any other related income generating gigs?
Because, if you keep being creative but are not really having enough income, those creativity you have will have no use for you. Being creative doesn't mean you're automatically profiting from it. But I must say, being practical and constant upskilling in your niche and other niches will take you into a better position in the competitive market today and will most likely going to get good offers from any company. That's how you are going to survive against the economic crisis. Having only 1 job today could barely pay all your bills and feed your family.

creative thinkers will be even more creative when the condition and situation forces them to, thats people with high survivability rate when we are facing the difficult time.
being creative quite literally the only reason why those businessman thrive, they are creative at solving problem of other people and capitalizing it from there, thats why their business could be running
and reaching massive billions of worth of value because they take advantage properly of their creative thinking.
with that fact, the whole economy of modern world only revolve around creative thinking nothing more, if any its the capital to support that creative thinking to realize the idea into execution and result.

If we don't have the knowledge, abilities and skills then our lives will only be a burden on other people, and it will be impossible for us to achieve financial freedom. However, we all set out on the impossible, so maybe other people don't believe that what we do will reach the point of success.

and starting from this, it is important to build a strong sense of self-confidence, how other people will believe in what we are trying to do, if we ourselves do not feel confident enough to do it. And credibility comes from the deep knowledge and expertise that we have, even if only in one field. Therefore, continue to take the time to continue learning and honing the skills we have, so that in the future we become someone who is quite an expert in that field. And when you are trying to achieve success, never hesitate to do what you should do and never be afraid to take risks. Strong belief, never giving up mentality and being able to learn from experience, both personal and other people's, are all the main focus for achieving success in life.

In a country where economy is being compromised and at risk, having the potential of a creative thinker will save them and will help them lessen their struggles in uplifting their own economy. So I really believe that with creative thinking and with good application skills, everything will perform just right. Although we can’t expect that every citizen will act as a responsible and a resourceful one, but if majority will adopt creativity and resourcefulness, I guess it’s highly possible to see a country turns into progressive and highly profitable one.

You will notice that many people are being shown and introduced on the internet; in short, they are showing off their skills and creativity on social media first just to share, but eventually, if people take a liking to their creativity, they will be famous and end up being a content creator, which can be a source of income. In this modern world, thinking outside the box is a must because everything is almost already there, so it's an advantage if people have unique and different ideas in terms of different aspects of life, especially in business. Almost all businesses now are the same, but you will also notice those unique businesses because of the owner's creativity. Creativity means money, and of course it can be subject to entertainment. In these days, you will need to be unique to survive, to take advantage of your talent, and to be the first to benefit from the ideas you have.

I must say having this creative thinking nowadays is certainly a must have. However, one should not only end there because without proper analysis and good application, everything will be meaningless. My point is build your own knowledge and develop some certain skills that will make you profitable, so that you will provide a sustainable source of income despite of the threats of our present downturn economy.

One should not rely only on one job, but will continue to acquire side hustles. If you continue doing that, you will still be productive and profitable even if majority are losing and suffering from poverty.

God has guaranteed the sustenance of every human being and living creature in the heavens and the earth – but without effort, you will only die of hunger. There is no such thing as someone who is lazy becoming rich because of their lazy behavior - it is very impossible if they do not change their behavior.

This world is cruel - you will forever be poor with no work and no one will care. Financial stability will not be achieved without work, investment and good financial management. So never stop learning and keep working.

This has been the story since the beginning of time and it is not a new one. The most creative and resourceful people in life have always had a tendency to prosper more than those who do the bare minimum or expect an easy life to be to be handed to them. The world and business are constantly evolving over time, some jobs that might have existed 50 years have been wiped out of existence. Other jobs will move overseas where laws might be less strict and globalization means that companies can get cheaper workers, but it still benefits richer countries who are constantly progressing forward too. There is nothing new about any of this, these cycles have happened many times over centuries of human history.

I can't agree with you less. I think today the world is all about creative thinking. It's all about thinking without a box, not even outside the box any longer, because there is literally no box out there for you to think on. Today, the world is driven by ideas, striving by creativity and innovation. It's all about what you can think out of what is already in existence and fashion it in a way that is going to be beneficial to the people using technology.

The world experienced the era of the Industrial Revolution, which marked the transition between the predominantly agrarian era and the handicrafts period to the period where people began to use manufactured machines to make their work easier during the 18th century.

An example was during the farming period when all people knew how to do was to farm with their hands, with hoes and cutlasses. But then there was a time when all those things transitioned to tractors and tillage machines that came in as farming implements or equipment, which are still used today. Other inventions included the spinning jenny by James Hargreaves in 1764 and the steam engine by James Watt in 1776. Ever since, these machines have been redesigned to function more effectively and efficiently.


Around 2008 - 2009, there was a major development that the world faced in the economy industry, which was a facelift from the usual hard currencies that we were using, which you can also call fiat, to the newly invented digital currency, which was Bitcoin, invented by Satoshi Nakamoto.

 He is another inventor and a creative thinker that history must recount with because he has brought about an alternative to the centralized currency that the world is suffering today. Thereby having a situation where one currency would be dominant in the international offering market, also known as the forex market, popularizing the use of the currency above other currencies and creating scarcity around it, which makes it difficult for other developing currencies. An example of that is the internationalization of the dollar currency.

This is just one example of many other examples why the centralized currency is a problem. Another thing is the government can decide to make it difficult for enormous citizens to use the currency against their own wish, of which I think at this point it is necessary for us to classify money as an essential commodity which each and every person should own. It should have some level of independence around the use of currencies. However, that is not the case in the centralized market.

I think the advent of decentralized technology was timely. It came at a time when people needed to have some level of ownership and independence in the inflow and outflow of currencies, and therefore Bitcoin was a salvation to the situation of the fiat.

What shocked me the most was that I went to the market to get some things and the prices I saw made me cold because they were so expensive, and I was like, how are things going this way? Whatever price goes up does not come down, and inflation is worsening the situation, so I've been thinking of alternatives to survive, and if they even have families, how will it be for them. Hummm, survival is now on grace with the way food prices are rising. It is something to think about, and my question now is what the government is there for; they don't even care about the people anymore.

And even finding work these days is challenging because many companies are closing down due to the economy, and I see how young people are doing everything in their power to survive these difficult times. For this reason, sometimes I disagree with those who criticize gamblers because you never know what people are going through; everyone is just trying to get by.

In today's world, your certificate from school as a degree, master's, or even PhD holder will not suffice to enter the global market. They also require your expertise and creative thinking to make things work for them. Nobody is just looking for the certificate anymore; your creative thinking can take you much further than your certificate can. Some schools no longer leverage on practicals that are compulsory is some practical courses, instead focusing on theoretical aspects. As a result, the majority of graduates in those fields are unable to apply the skills acquired during their course of study when employed in an organisation or company where the skills are required. While going through school, if theirs a means to diversify your means of learning, get some skills that will help you in the future even when your school certificate haven’t come through for you yet.

Creative thinkers will always find a way to survive in any kind of economic situation and in any place. The economy of many countries require creativity to be able to still make money, by offering creative solution to problems people are facing and making money from it. Creative thinkers are also needed by companies in this difficult time, creative people are needed for important positions, to suggest better methods for the company, and improve their profit.  If you are a creative thinker, your chances of survival already have greatly improved.

The system is no longer working like before and that's because even the humans are evolving. Between 60s and 90s, schools and education are regarded are the bridge between making a future for yourself or become a menace to the society, people were encourage to go to school because you dream of becoming an engineer and after spending the time and struggle, the dream comes true for many people. However, today reverse is the case for many of people, going to school to get a good life doesn't work like before, so many people don't even become what they study in school.

The jobs are not even encouraging where your salary is not enough to get you a dream house and average house, you have to add a hustle with an additional skills to survive the economy. Some professions still pay well but they are limited and even before you get to that level where you will be paid so much money, you must have done many years of services with white beards everywhere, no wonder we have a lot of Musicians, Tiktokers, Youtubers and Content creators and all are because to earn a good living, the world is rapidly changing from what we use to know.

The reality check everyone needs: Creativity fights economic collapse, not just tools. You saw small-scale agriculture grow and wasteful spending shrink. Definitely commendable. But don't celebrate yet. Making money is different from cutting expenditures. That's the difficult part, right? Focus on personal money should change from survival to prosperity. Gardening and cutting out on celebrations aren't enough. Investments? Savings? Diversifying earnings? Creativity must flourish here. I know our leaders are mismanagers, but that's why you want them to lead

We may use your ingenuity to build a future after overcoming adversity. Improve, not just survive. Think big, plan ahead, and remember that creative people will thrive in a world that encourages invention

I agree that creative thinking is needed now to be able to survive in a difficult economy like today. But the problem is how can you want to think outside the box when you don't have anything to eat tomorrow. You can't think that your thoughts will make you a millionaire, but you don't have money in your hands. Because you can only have creative thinking when you have resources that you can manage - when you don't have anything that you can use, the most important thing is to think realistically about what you are facing right now.

I agree that creative thinking is crucial for competitiveness. It allows us to generate new, innovative ideas and solutions. However, combining it with critical thinking is even more powerful. For example, creative thinking can spark a multitude of possibilities, while critical thinking helps us discern the most effective and feasible ones. Additionally, creative thinking fosters a risk-taking spirit, and critical thinking equips us to navigate those risks wisely. This synergy allows us to approach challenges with both imagination and reason, ultimately leading to better outcomes.

You can be creative and still doesn't see yourself being in right place you want to be, not being sceptical but let's stands on fact, there many part of the world that does not support dreams and no matter skillful you are, if you don't have people or means of pushing your dreams and financing yourself in achieving what you prayed for, you can never achieve it, though creating more means to earn money has always been the talk of the day but in recent time having a means of survival is very difficult talk more of creating extra source, am not trying to say that it is totally impossible for this to happen but am judging from the economic situation of most countries, for anyone to survive now, you really have to give some thing different from what is trending or in place for people to think of think your in your direction.   

Yeah, this is the reality nowadays if we don't have this creative thinking there is a higher chance to not survive crisis we met along our path into the future. Pandemic has proven this already wherein majority of countries and it's people have suffered significant loss in it's economy and personal lives. People who has creative thinking skills take the pandemic as an opportunity to make money and even get rich because they are smart enough to find solutions to the worldwide problem and this left people like me who did nothing lead into misery because of unpreparedness or not having the said skill.

Has there ever be a time in which this was not true? Even if we go back to the early days of civilization in which humans still had to hunt their food if they wanted to eat, the hunter that just waited for their prey was most likely a hungry hunter.

If you wanted to have an edge back in those days, you needed to figure out the patterns of your prey so you could hunt it, tell me is it that much different from what you need to do these days? Not really, as if you want to earn more than enough to survive then you need to find a way to provide for a need others have and address it in a way that is unique to your current location.

Humans have always been creative and we can see that through the technological advancement we have experienced over the years. The economic situation of many countries is becoming very bad and to survive these problems it is important to think outside of the box. Creativity is seeking ways to make a product cheaper but still effective. In this current economic situation, we have to be creative to cut costs and seek ways to also gain more income.

In my location agriculture was neglected because of the discovery of crude. However, due to the current economic woes, many people have started embracing small-scale agriculture which will enable them to grow their food. There has also been a high decline in wasteful celebrations like elaborate weddings, burials, birthdays, graduation, etc because people are creatively cutting costs.

From my observation, many people in developing nations are creative because you need this quality to survive hardship. It is the creativity of these people that is making them survive the harsh economic conditions that they have been subjected to by wicked leaders. Our leaders have failed to be creative in devising ways of tackling the rising economic problems most of these developing nations are going through. But in terms of bribery, corruption and stealing they are fantastically creative.         

creative thinking

decades ago people living in villages, countrysides only had local town populations to cater to. so volume of customers was limited.
now with the internet and international postage.. the world is open. you just have to find the right product to sell, even if it only captures 0.001% of the worlds eyes, out of 8 billion that is still 80,000 customers.. and if you only make $2 thats $160k

as for surviving in your own home on a fixed salary income.
being creative can be as easy as upgrading house lighting from 100w incandescent bulbs to 8w LED
do you need the $20 delivered pizza or can you have a $4 store bought pizza
do you need the new top brand 4wheel drive 4ltr engine truck/sports car just to drive around town. or can you do with a small fuel efficient second hand car

just buying your first choice is not a choice nor creative. always look for other choices by thinking creatively about other options. and never go with first choice as thats usually the dreamy want, not the basic need

Global village is an interesting concept, but it doesn't necessarily represent the world we currently live in. I think it's more of an illusion of the global village, because it feels as if we're all connected online and there are no barriers to our communication, but in practice, people tend to talk to those that share their views, tons of people are not online at all, and there are a lot of discussions of social isolation in the world of the Internet.
As for creating thinking, there are just too many ways to understand that. But overall, I agree that creativity is useful in life, and perhaps useful in the global economy, excluding places where you can get in jail or be killed on the street for your creativity, and you need to stick to the rules to survive.

In conditions like this we need to increase our ability to control ourselves, in other words increasing skills and abilities will pave the way for us to make the best decisions. The current economic condition of society is quite disturbed so that it will be difficult to increase income than usual and what is quite problematic if in conditions like this we do not have individual skills because there is no opportunity to develop potential. Humans need creative ideas, able to compete and have the ability to see future potential, both in business and other things.

I see that there are only a few opportunities available to people who don't dare to take risks and now to increase our wealth we have to balance it with the capital we spend, both in business and in any investment. Without taking risks we will only be in the comfort zone and it will be quite difficult to develop our potential.

If creative thinking can make money, that would be best to do. When there are no companies that hire anyone anymore I guess being creative means you can still make money despite everyone seeking jobs being your competitors.

I have a plan to survive just this economy by becoming a fisherman myself lol This can be creative for me. Surviving in this economy is really hard now, AIs are going to take over everyone's job. There's got to be something that AIs can't do.

Innovation is what makes the world we have right now. Yes, I agree that in order for us to strive more, we need be creative on how can we make life easier and we have to adapt to it. But in the current world we're living right now, everything runs through the creative thinking of humans. All those ideas comes to life and we can see it in our daily lives. It just depends on how creative the idea is, and how impactful it can be to the economy and to its people.
For me, everyday is a result of someone's creative idea. It's just that there will always be a problem. And since it involves the economy and its people, we can't just easily shift to another perspective. It takes time to adapt to changes, especially if it will be a big change.

It's all about intelligence. Yes, you think creatively, but you also need to understand what's within the box. The economy is a harsh animal that doesn't give a damn about creativity in and of itself

You're right when you remark that we must be creative. But remember, creativity is pointless without comprehension; it's like shooting in the dark. You must comprehend finance, the market, and how money circulates through the veins of the economy like blood. Your inventiveness only matters at that point. It's important to have the appropriate concept at the right moment for the right market, not just any idea. You thrive and you survive in this way

On the contrary in my opinion, everything is getting easier for my generation (the Millennials), and will be easier for the next generation Gen Z and Alpha. I saw how my father work hard while earning less, while I work comfortably and earn more. But I understand why some (or maybe most) people think it's getting harder, it's not the condition that make it hard, it's the competition, things is getting easier but it's getting easier for everybody, not to mention that there are a lot more people compared to decades ago. You can learn anything throught the internet, almost free but every other people can do that too. I do agree that we need to be creative and stand out to be successful right now, rather than just being very smart and skillfull. But also I think blaming the condition is not the right thing to do. I understand that everyone has different privilege and opportunity but set that aside, we could have access to all the knowledge just like everybody else just need to make our effort.

I agree with what you've said that work hard and smart work needs to be tandem. But in today's generation, it's with the collaboration of technology, everyone can be a genius.

So that means about the idea of solving more complex problems and even the simplest problems that are also existing in modern times.

We can see that everyone can be an inventor of their own idea so as startups come and it shouldn't just be idea because everyone can have the same thought and idea. And whoever goes out there first to execute it is the genius and inventor of it.

Creativity is important and helps when economy is tough. Creativity makes one to think very well on how to generate money without the support of the government. Normally when the economy is good you don't need to struggle with getting a job or business.  But in a difficult economy one needs to be creative to generate something that can bring income. When the economy is hard it is only people who can be able to think to solve problem.  

It is not as if being creative I hard economy will give just exactly what you want to live comfortably but creativity will make things better than expecting so much. Right now in most countries inflation is the talk of the day, where it is even difficult to get a job but most people survive by their creativity by generating job for themselves

To survive the economy with creative thinking you can try to identify new opportunities & adapt your skills to meet emerging needs. This could be learning new technologies or exploring alternative industries. Try to think outside the box & find innovative ways to market your products or services. Consider leveraging social media creating unique collaborations or offering special promotions. Try to cultivate a strong network of professionals who can support & inspire you. Collaborate, share insights & and learn from each other's experiences. Be open to change & embrace a growth mindset, constantly seeking new knowledge & skills to stay ahead.

Today's economy is based on making good use of opportunities. Opportunities are available everywhere and whoever makes good use of them is the one who makes profits, but the traditional idea, which is to study, get good academic results, get a university degree, and work that will bring you an additional profitable income has become difficult, as you need more. From specialized studies or working more than one job, this will not provide you with job security, or even retirement funds will not provide you with a dream of a good future. You can call it creative thinking, but I see it as making good use of available opportunities.

Yes, you either adapt or you die... it is as simple as that. People should really visit India, currently the country with the highest population in the world and see how innovative their informal markets are and how people find ways to survive.

Also go to Africa and experience for yourself, how people are very innovative with the little resources that they have... and how some of them are thriving in rural areas. (Without electricity and modern ammenities)

Creative economy is a new sector that focuses on creativity to create a product or service. Creative economy products usually depend on ideas, knowledge, skills and sometimes the livelihoods are still traditional. Creative economy is increasingly important and has a significant role in economic growth. Creative economy includes various sectors such as art, design, music, films, advertisements and others that realize creativity and expertise in humans. Behind the creative economy there are several benefits. First, creating new jobs. With digital tenetology, creative industry players can become independent entrepreneurs and create jobs for themselves and other communities. And secondly, significant transformation. This is to create, produce and distribute works more efficiently. Third, improving the creative economy in various fields. This creates new opportunities for creative economic actors such as artists, designers and other sectors to be able to generate their income. The fourth, the creative economy also encourages innovation and collaboration between industries. This potential can combine digital technology with art and creativity to create interesting new experiences. But, behind it all there is a challenge, first is productivity, this producer will increasingly aggressively improve their products to meet the needs of consumers to be more supported by technological progress. Secondly there is income growth, with a sharp increase in products, of course, the amount of income will also increase. The third there is work that can also be interpreted by increasing employment. And there are some of the creative economy.
   1. Labor Transformation: There is an opportunity to improve the skills and knowledge of the workforce in order to adapt to new technology.
   2. Management and Leadership Skills: The opportunity is to develop adaptive and innovative leadership.
   3. Safety and Privacy Data: The opportunity to develop innovative security and privacy solutions. This business can utilize technology such as data encryption, artificial intelligence and data analysis.
   4. Digital inequality: The opportunity is to increase digital access and inclusion. By reducing digital gaps, everyone can access the benefits of new technology and participate in the digital economy.

And many more challenges, benefits and others about the creative economy.

 Being creative cannot pay your bills,but its important that you can be available and provide certain option to arising issues relating to personal development and improvement.Been creative can improve your way of living,instead of depending on a kind of thinking,it makes you to embrace new ideas and opportunities.
 Your ability to make out way with good options and suggestions to approach and solve problems can even add so much value to you,The world is changing greatly and people needs to creative at least for themselves.
  Creativity allows us to view and solve problems more openly and with innovation because you have an advanced knowledge and understanding.creativity is something that is built from within,you don't build it,you won't have it as it grows with time and so much effort bit its worth the ride.

creative thinking combined with sufficient funding will opens up great opportunity to accumulate wealth, those startups that amount to billions today, must be starting from bottom, even though their financial condition might be good enough since as i've seen many startup founders are coming from rich people. doesn't necessarily they didn't face their share of difficulties.
for many of us that don't have sufficient capital, the only way is to think creatively harder than anyone else, because thats the only way to attract potential investors into getting interested into our project.
thats the only way for us to strive within this highly competitive worlds because everyone else is also trying hard thinking creatively to make opportunity for themselves.
if there exist 1 problem there is probably thousand of people already thinking of solving it.

OP I agree with you that as humans we have to be creative no matter how hard things are for us, saying is easy but putting it to work is the major problem. The way the society is, I don't think is everyone who can man up and start up something creative (creative in a positive way) to help him or herself. Things are very hard in a way that the thinking you talk about that's running in the head of some individual can only be the thinking of negativity, that's after trying all they know that's not working as expected.
Humans have a limit of taking thing in life and it only takes the fear of God to keep one in check if not we all know where it will end up.
Some countries situation have made those who have better things to offer to the society to start stealing kidnapping and all other bad stuff just to keep going and they now feel is the only way, frustration can kill the good mind of some individual, so I can't say being creative when things are hard is that easy.

I'm not sure what the OP is trying to convey, based on what he mentioned, it looks like it is time for the survival of the fittest. As of now, hard work is a must, along with smart work, which is much more needed as everything is dependent on technology. People who were able to think smart will progress and reach the next level of life, while the rest will just move on with what is available.

As the needs of people grow, so does the economy. Based on this, we need to broaden our thoughts and plans, if not, things won't work according to our predictions. In all situations, we need to keep ourselves prepared to face the worst-case scenario, only then it is possible to handle all sorts of situations.

Definitely. It's different today unlike in the past where people can be reliant on their jobs and incomes as a white collar worker. But with inflation and cost of everything rising while wagers don't come up with that cost. It's importan to be creative and we've seen people working with three jobs and more just to cope up with the rising cost. Although those fortunate people can still have their work-life balance but those average workers, it's noticeable that it's different nowadays that the salary they're having won't be able to give them a better life but just bare enough to survive.

Over the years, the human brain has been referred to as a much room, where it’s always ready to accumulate more and more knowledge without getting saturated at any point. This is why, you could find humans exerting a higher powered and might just be the most dangerous specie that ever is and it is as well, the one specie that can profound solution to the problems that arise within it’s(our) society.

The world has seen so many advancement that, in order to flow with the trends and be competitive, you need to be able to adjust and adapt quickly to the changes in the surrounding as well as, adding to what creativity that exists out there.

You also need to be creative on how to manage and utilize available resources to be sustainable and project into the feature based on current occurrences. The economy isn’t giving much room for any laxity else, you find yourself going bankrupt.

I just have a couple of doubts.
OP what do you mean by "surviving the economy"?
above all, being creative are we sure that it can "feed" in all situations? but moreover what is a creative thinking applied nowadays.
If you can't pay your bill....

In being creative you need to think outside the box, also there are a lot of factors that enhances creativity in a society. However there must be prevailing circumstances within your country that will enable you to think outside the box or be creative. if you live in a society where there is stability in economy and there is high level of peaceful coexistence, the need for you to start being creative and wanting to seek for extra sources of income wouldn't be there.
So your creativity and idealistic skills can only be realistic in a situation where the circumstances and challenges surrounding you are  enormous hence the need to create an extra source of income will come into play.  however not everybody can relate to your line of thought because every society has its own peculiar challenges, which makes the citizens to know how to navigate around it for survival.

I can't agree more with you because this is what most people in developing countries are doing and this is what saving them some funds, making them some money, overall this is what helping them living in countries where financial conditions are worst. I am not talking about any specific country. And creative thinking only comes with education and easy internet access has made it easy for people to get more and more knowledge. Before it was not that easy but now the publications of AI chat bots have made creative thinking easier.

Because if I have an idea and doubt how to complete it, I only have to write that Idea to the best chatbots and ask if is it possible to make it, and your recipe (if exists) will be shown to you. I had several ideas in my mind to automate my work, or tasks that I have to do daily and manually and I simply asked AI bots with full inputs and it tells me how can I do that and what I need. But still you have to use your own minds to implements things. As AI will only tell you not make it for you.

It has come to a point where humans can’t just seat and watch things happen for themselves. As humans leaving in this kind of economy where things are not getting easier, we have to employ the art of creative thinking skills. It is clearly seen that to survive in today’s world. You must be creative in your thinking. The world is a global village that is changing rapidly. Humans must be innovative in their ideas and should produce different techniques. Which can be implemented in order to develop commodities and create a competitive edge.this is to say creative thinking plays a prominent role in today’s world.
