Most people believe they don’t have much imagination. They are 　　50　 .Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to 　　51　 it. Creativity isn’t always　 52　 with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time　 53　 think of creative ways to solve problems.

Making connections This technique involves taking　 54　 ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the idea/words　 55 　with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the　 56　 to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to but a friend an original　 57　 ; you could buy him tickets to match or take him out for the night.

Be someone else! Look at the situation from a 　　62　 point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writes. Fiction writers often imagine they are the　 63　 in their books. They ask question: What does this character want? Why can’t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their 　　64　 .
