Doris Lim, the owner of "CreativeThinkingForWomen.com", has only one thing in mind when she started this niche site, and that is to create awareness to the general public that you don't have to be a "rocket scientist" to have "creative thinking". She believes that no one should be thought of as being smarter or more creative just because one possesses a higher education. Of course, that helps a little. But, she believes that anyone can be taught to "think creatively". All one has to do is tap into that brain one has been born with and bring out the creative side. With so much knowledge and information available on the internet nowadays, it will take alot of effort, energy and time to select the best authors/writers, articles, tips and "how-to's" to come together in a creative process in this niche site and make it the "1-Stop Centre for Creative Thinking". And because Doris is a woman, this website will be dedicated to all "women", thus the name "CreativeThinkingForWomen.com" (Softly whispering... "men" are also welcome to visit).
A little bit of history about Doris. Having both an Asian and European background (Chinese and Portuguese), her thoughts are equally governed by both the East as well as the West. That accounts for her love of the English Language (she's being accused of having a British accent when she converses with Americans) and her obsession with Korean television serials (obviously, she has to make do with English subtitles). But, enough chit-chat.
Her credentials stem from her extensive years of experience working with "great minds" who "think creatively" and "act creatively". She has prepared speeches for politicians, consumer activists, assisted authors and researchers in the production of books and newsletters and also dabbled in the advertising and public relations sector.
Thus her quest now - to boldly go where no mind has gone before (no, we're not watching "Star Trek") and seek the BEST stuff out there in the "Cyber World" in order to share with her readers/subscribers, the various aspects of "Creative Thinking".

Amelia Earhart, noted American aviation pioneer went missing on July 2, 1937.
Amelia Earhart, noted American aviation pioneer went missing on July 2, 1937. Noted in history as the first woman to receive the Distinguished Flying Cross (awarded for being the first aviatrix to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean), her “unknown fate” after her plane went down, still makes news today.
It has been said that her celebrated life and mysterious disappearance had “spurred the imaginations of many writers and such”, thus making her a “Pop Culture” of sorts. Her persona was depicted in Literature (in various literary works), her biography personified on screen (both in Movies and Television) and there were countless references to her in Music. The Advertising media was also not spared. It was cited that The Gap khaki pants ad campaign in 1993 featured Amelia Earhart’s likeness, as so did ads for Apple Computers.
I find it fascinating that some “legends” just lives on and on, and especially in this day and age, with Online “Connection, Communication and Collaboration”, one possesses endless opportunities to obtain facts (and fiction!!) of those who have long left us, but never forgotten.
As at the time of writing (typing actually), I eagerly await another movie version of a biopic of this very famous and accomplished lady. Aptly called “Amelia”, this movie will be portrayed by Hilary Swank, whom I’m sure will do her justice as she did in most of her past movies, notably “Boys Don’t Cry”, another fact-based movie (which I enjoyed immensely).
Until then, I leave you with a videoclip on some meaningful “Creative Quotations” from mankind’s (or should I say, womankind’s) flying ace...
