Question 1
Answer 1: The Grant is the psychologist who gives the opinions regarding the
organization had written the book named as “Originals” (Grant, 2016). According to him,
originals are the Non-conformists, who have the ability to think creatively, have the courage
to implement them and become the champions in their field. The examples, which the grand
had given in Originals, are surprisingly amazing and shocking. According to him, there are
some examples of the people who are the original thinkers:
i. They are Procrastinator: They are the people who are quick to start but slow to
finish the task. According to the Grant, these kinds of people are the original
thinkers (Pychyl , 2010). The example given by grand for this case in the
Originals is of “Leonardo da Vinci”. He was also a chronic procrastinator. He
starts the painting of Mona Lisa at his early age but he took 16 years to complete
that painting. He was not sure about its beauty but surprisingly that paintings has
become famous because Mona Lisa’s smile. This example shows that the
Procrastinators are the original thinkers.
ii. They have a doubt on their ideas: They are the people, who looks like they
have confidence in what they are doing but at the same time from the inside, they
have a doubt and a fear about the idea. The example given by grand for this case in
the “Originals” is of “Martin Luther King Jr.”, who took risk in his life to started civil
right movement for the African-American and changed their lives (Biography, 2019).
Luther is not sure about the idea but he had courage to implement it in a correct
manner. This shows that the original thinkers have the doubts on their ideas.

The above example change the mind-set of the people regarding risk taking and the
creativity as the example motivates the individual to think positively and pursuing with his

are of the original thinkers according to the grand. This perception of Grand changes the
reader’s to views about the risk taking and the creativity.
