How do you become a creative, out-of-the-box thinker?

[monish shanmugam]

While reading the stories of great people like Steve Jobs, Isaac Newton, Leonardo Da Vinci, Bill Gates and even MJ DeMarco, I concluded that these people have had immense creativity and thinking capacity that many people lack. And because of these skills, these people brought so much change into the world and made amazing innovations. I wish I had the mental strengths these people have.

If I observe myself, I think in a very robotic, mechanical, slow way. I can't see things from different perspectives, I don't get interesting ideas inside my mind. I also want to improve my problem-solving and decision-making skills. For example, while playing chess with friends, I take a lot of time to make a move. So I lose many chess matches because of timeout. In TMF , MJ says that entrepreneurship means finding solutions for existing problems that people face and monetizing them. I want to become a problem solver as well.
