How Does Think Different | Chris Griffiths | TEDxCardiff Work?

Think Different by Chris Griffiths is like giving your brain a fun new toy to play with, it helps you see the world in new and creative ways.

Imagine you're coloring inside the lines of a picture book, but then someone gives you markers and says, "Go wild!" That’s what thinking different feels like. It's when you stop doing things the same old way and start trying something new, just because it might be more fun or make more sense.

How It Works

Chris Griffiths shows us that thinking differently isn’t about being super smart or knowing all the answers. It’s about asking questions like, "What if I tried this from another angle?" or "Why do we always do it this way?"

It's like when you're playing with building blocks, sometimes stacking them straight up is fun, but what happens if you twist them or balance them on top of each other? That’s thinking different in action. You’re not just following the rules; you're making your own.

So next time you see something that doesn’t quite fit, remember: maybe it was meant to be different all along!
