GENERATING IDEAS
In this century, we are dealing with many problems. The problem can appear from
external and inward. Almost all the problems can be resolved if we can hold the inside
thing. Mental block is the impediment for us to generate ideas. Intellectual block,
perceptual block, and expressive block are types of cognitive blocks. Problem solving for
all mental blocks is needed to answer every question in external thing. Based on this
condition, authors want to spell out the meaning of intellectual and perceptual mental
blocks and eke how to solve those problems. Eventually great ideas will be appeared.
Second thing which can disturb us to create an idea is a perceptual mental block.
Make a border/wall between our mind/brain it’s called perceptual blocks. The impact of
this block is we will think inside the box. We will think like usual people think, so great

idea/ problem solving will not emerge. Think out of the box like thinking wild with make a
connection between our knowledge is the method. Try to combine our knowledge from
what we learn, maybe 2 or 3 knowledge or perhaps more than it can trigger great idea to
come up, because if we just have knowledge without an ability to connect them, it means
extreme idea only a myth. For example, If lots people think that to solve traffic jam is only
about the transportation, we can take from the other side to accomplish this trouble such as
increasing the cost of gasoline.
In conclusion, to create a great idea we usually against with mental blocks. All
method to avoid us from our inability to turn up great idea is very necessary, such as read
more and making connection.
