U Don't Have to be Ashamed of Using Ur Own Ideas

Quite recently, i've been reading the pragmatic bookshelf's Pragmatic Thinking & Learning and have got to know abt Oblique Strategies, which as quoted elsewhere: The Oblique Strategies were originally a set of one-hundred cards, each bearing a short phrase. They were devised by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt as ways of working through creative problems. When a blockage occurs, draw a card, and see if it can direct you in a tangential way that helps solve the problem.

I must admit i'm not a creative person, but i do quite often encounter mental blocks when doing programming ... with a quick googling round, i've found these 2 sites that would show a strategy upon refresh:
And the first strategy i see is "You don't have to be ashamed of using your own ideas" ... I like this one :]
