Logic, Intelligence, Creativity & their Interwoven Relationships "Intelligence" is from Latin word “intellego” -Inter-lego: Bind together, read between the lines, or connect the dots. Creativity is an innate thought process to connect the dots and generate innate ideas. Logic is a thinking process in which a result is derived from a thought. To untangle unprecedented complexity, we reach a stage to assess logic of everything: thoughts, language, actions. More specifically, logic, intelligence, and creativity, how do they interplay

Intelligence and Influence The digital era upon us is about information abundance and pervasive intelligence. Our intelligence with regard to any given type of information is a function of our mental capacity to refine information, recognize and interpret patterns, and our consequent ability to use the perceived information for making sound judgments or taking logical actions. A mindset could be called influential intelligence if it has a high mental ability to discover the inter-relationship among different disciplines. With unprecedented complexity and exponential information growth, contemporary leadership is based on multidimensional intelligence, and intelligence amplifies influence at different cognitive or hierarchical levels to drive progressive changes.

Creativity vs. Insight Creativity is an innate process to create novel ideas, it is a type of “out-of-box” thinking; insight is thinking into the box after thinking out of the box. Creativity is a result of living in your intuitive space. It is an action or a reaction to the world. Insight is the deep intuitive understanding of things, and it often breaks through the conventional wisdom. Insight is not only about trying to "think outside the box," but an intuitive expression and alternative path that takes you wherever it needs to go, without boundaries, with the goal to think beyond the surface and break through conventional wisdom.

It reflects the color and shade of your thought patterns, and it indicates the peaks and curves of your thinking waves. Unlike pure entertainment, quality and professional content takes time for digesting, contemplation and engaging, and therefore, it takes time to attract the "hungry minds" and the "deep souls." It’s the journey to amplify diverse voices and deepen digital footprints, and it's the way to harness your innovative spirit.
