Surviving the economy with creative thinking.

[Tbillion]

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.

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.

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 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....

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.

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.

[romero121]

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.

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.

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.

 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 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.

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

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)

[Husires]

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.

[DeathAngel]

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.

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

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.

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.

[slapper]

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

[demonica]

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.

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.
