I don't own a purse


Normally removing everything from my bag would result in a pile of useless paper and garbage.

But as interesting as that is, I took out the more important items.

My bag carries around everything I need, and became an important garbage bag over time. I continued collecting items that I found along the way. The most important ones I displayed here, the less I just put back into my bag.

It contains:
1 planner
1 notebook
1 laptop
1 pair of headphones
1 entry token to a berlin disco
1 lucky 2 euro coin
2 black pens

Through time, each object was attached to a memory. Each holding a different emotion in my mind. Relinquishing one would be like removing them from my soul. 

Deep, I know. 
PHILOSOPHICAL


Design thinking follows a similar route. You must understand your problem, create and test it. Or as my good friend Hasso Platner says: Define the problem, bodystorm (ideate), prototype, and test. 

Fascinating, but it does not relate much to my bag. If I was building a new improved design for a bag, then this strategy would be useful. But as I am just showing you bits of it there is much to he desired. 

The greatest thing about design thinking is it allows me to literally do this. To write in a self-referential manner to invoke feelings. It is new and unpolished and that's why I like it.  

My main goal is to be unique.

Individuality is the key to progress. 

David Kelly discussed the idea of creative confidence, that people are not divided by practical minds and creative ones. Yes, David, you are right. The world is not just cut in two, there are grey areas. I would not like to put down this TED because I enjoyed it,

but Dave
Dave
come on Dave

are you really claiming that people believe that it is simple lack of confidence which is holding them back? 
In some cases this is true, but yet,

All people have the innate sense of creativity and practicality as is human nature. People are hesitant to focus on creativity because practicality is based in logic. Creativity is great but its most important flaw is gambling with success. 

Practicality is every blog here.
Creativity is this blog.

Will I get the better grade? Maybe, maybe not. But who decides that? Not me, but you. If you do not deem this creative there will be point loss. 

In closing here are two examples:


Practicality




 Creativity
