Knowing the things may be adequate enough to become wiser, however one needs to have an attitude of thinking entwined with inquisitiveness to be able to think beyond emotional and volitional ones; mere needs and wants. This aspect of cognitive thinking is an absolute platform for thinking new, thinking afresh, thinking raw, thinking something which has not occurred in anyone's thoughts, thinking to create.
Innovation needs creative thinking expressing itself in a state of desire to experiment, courage to fail and an iron will to learn from failure and carry on. As Thomas Edison said " I have not failed, rather I found thousand of ways that won't work".
Ideation and experimentation are the axes of innovation with higher probability of failure- larger the experimentation, larger the failure. In the process of innovation, one needs to weed through, froth of bubbles of despair from repeated failures while remaining focused on the idea at the center, fastidiously.
Aspects of creative thinking, experimenting, learning and persevering at an individual level will not be sole promoter for innovation without an eco-system that fosters a culture to accept failures as a learning process, inspires the experimentations through a platform of continuous motivation. The institutions like universities, enterprises, countries where such a culture exists and is nurtured are the perfect abode for intellectual minds to be successful in their innovation pursuits.
