Rx for critical thinking

Creativity workshops in all fields

I’m thinking right now of going all over my country, the Philippines, like Jun Lozada has been doing propagating critical thinking – but instead, I shall be propagating creative thinking. I rather think I can do much better than Jun Lozada when it comes to teaching. I'm a certified Teacher (Civil Service Professional Level, as I passed the Teacher's Exam in 1965 with a grade of 80.6%); Jun Lozada is a certified preacher. To preach like Jun Lozada is easy - all you have to do is open your Bible and open your mouth. There are no Civil Service exams to pass before you become a preacher. But they allow you to visit schools and preach to the students.

I will be using Microsoft Word as software, especially Word 2003. (Why not the latest, Word 2007? I can buy Word 2007 if I like and she’s beautiful but, you know, I also know that it’s the beautiful who is difficult, very difficult.) And I will be conducting free lectures, demos. And I will be enticing the secretaries, authors, editors, reviewers, critics, students, advisers, writers, biographers, autobiographers, bloggers to attend these. Maybe I’ll even arrange for video recording so that anyone can view the whole lecture or demo over and over again.

I’m thinking of conducting ‘Beauty & Brains Microsoft Word’ workshops for hands-on creative thinking leading to creative writing.

Did I say ‘Free?’ The lectures and demos, yes. I want the Movement for the Creative Filipino (M4) to propagate itself all over the country and around the world where there are Filipinos. Creativity is not the sole privilege of the literate, or even the genius – creativity is for all. I believe that all of us have genius inside us, except that half of us aren’t using our head.

Why Microsoft Word for creative thinking? Ah, my friend, to see is to believe! Come attend my lecture-demo anytime – it’s free!
