Heuristic A heuristic technique (/hjʉˈrɪstɨk/; Greek: "Εὑρίσκω", "find" or "discover"), sometimes called simply a heuristic, is any approach to problem solving, learning, or discovery that employs a practical methodology not guaranteed to be optimal or perfect, but sufficient for the immediate goals. Where finding an optimal solution is impossible or impractical, heuristic methods can be used to speed up the process of finding a satisfactory solution. Heuristics can be mental shortcuts that ease the cognitive load of making a decision. Examples of this method include using a rule of thumb, an educated guess, an intuitive judgment, stereotyping, profiling, or common sense. More precisely, heuristics are strategies using readily accessible, though loosely applicable, information to control problem solving in human beings and machines.[1] Example[edit] Here are a few other commonly used heuristics, from George Pólya's 1945 book, How to Solve It:[2] Psychology[edit] Well known[edit] Lesser known[edit]

"Libérez votre créativité" Le but de la méthode de créativité est de retrouver la spontanéité dans tous les aspects de notre vie. Avec le temps et les obligations liées à l’âge adulte, la raison l’emporte progressivement sur l’imagination et les rêves. On se conforme aux exigences de la vie et l’on renonce peu à peu à ses désirs. Si le décalage devient trop profond entre notre côté créateur et notre côté rationnel, il peut en résulter une perte de vitalité importante. "Redevenir soi-même et réussir ce changement". Nous savons souvent ce que nous voulons faire, nous en avons l’intuition (un talent à développer, un rêve à réaliser, un changement de vie) mais la peur, le manque de confiance et d’information, l’absence de soutien nous paralysent, brouillent notre vision et nous empêchent d’agir. Qu’il s’agisse de réaliser un rêve, de modifier une situation qui ne nous convient plus ou de changer un comportement, tôt ou tard, nous devons nous engager dans un processus de transformation.
Weird Encyclopedia - a Quick & Dirty Guide to All Things Strange "Be a beginner So much of what we want in life relies on our ability to start. If you want to be a writer, you have to start writing.

At heart, we’re all vain. Embrace your beginner. Beginners are not experts. Accepting this has let me grow faster at every new pursuit I’ve taken on. So be a beginner.

Every member of your family getting you the same three books you requested for Christmas.
