Clever:Mentally quick and original; bright.
You have to have a strong interest and observe things very well. You all ready know how something is done or told how something is done. What you have been told is, In The Box. You want to do it better and maybe different, so you Think--Out Of The Box. You can use and practice a natural ability called, Creativeness or Creative imagination.
