It is the age that shifts out thought process and learning behavior and the way we become creative depends on our pattern of thinking.
The design of thinking shifts from spontaneous and conceptual to experimental and observation as aging.
Spontaneous:
This is a group of young, impulsive and independent thinkers who often do not care for society.
