Do you like learning English expressions?  They are everywhere! Some of you might have noticed that I incorporated some expressions and idioms on my blogs, photos and discussions as part of vocabulary learning practice. Being aware to using them would make our English sound more natural. In addition, native speakers use them in their daily conversations, right? Just be mindful not to use them in academic writing because they are mostly informal. But if you want to learn today’s expression, keep reading this blog.

Blue-sky thinker

A blue-sky thinker is basically a creative person who likes to come up with exciting and authentic ideas. It is usually used in business setting.  This expression is related to a person who is thinking out of the box.

Example:

Estanis is a blue-sky thinker. He has established his bakeshop using his keen knowledge and expertise in pastry making.

Here on MyEC, I’ve seen members who have exemplified their creativity through participating in different activities. A blog like this from Luci, a photo about a masterpiece from Grace and a video from Teacher Vicki are some of the remarkable ones these days. Actually, there are so many members who have shared their passion and interests to highlight their creativity. They are indeed blue-sky thinkers!

Furthermore, a community such as MyEC wouldn’t be patronized by other learners and teachers without the initiative of the creative minds who are working earnestly for the benefit of everyone especially the diligent learners.

So let’s not forget to make a toast to all blue-sky thinkers of our club! Cheers!

  • @ Shoba

    You're welcome! Thank you for correcting your sentence. That's perfect and I truly appreciate it!

    See you around! :)

  • Thanks Robbie. It's a good idea to enrich ourselves in English. 

  • Thank you, dear Robbie, for your kind comment. You are very nice.  :) 

    It should have been, 

    His employees' blue-sky thinking helped him to make his business successful. 

  • Hello, Setareh!

    I couldn't agree more. I'm glad that you are one of the blue-sky thinkers of our club, too! Keep sharing your incredible ideas here. 

    Many thanks!

    Robbie :)

  • @ Arif

    Nice question. I believe you just have to keep thinking about a lot of wonderful things and be passionate on something - the ones that you love doing the most.

    Thank you for checking out this expression!

  • Hi, Mary!

    Cheers!

  • Hey, Luci!

    Thank you for keeping this blog going while I was offline. Of course you deserved to have a spot here. You've done a lot of great things being a blogger, a speaker, a photographer and many, many more descriptions that this page couldn't suffice. Kidding! You know me, I'd like to exaggerate things when I'm excited he he.

    Hmm your example sentence was a bit exaggerating as well. Sadako creator? That gave me goosebumps now. I'm glad my TV is off! But this has reminded me to make a follow up story about my 'Minion' stories. I'll see what I can do. Anyway, I wouldn't correct your sentence because I know it's informal and I bet you can correct it yourself. Honestly, I'm pleased with that example. Now, am I dreaming too?

    See you later!

  • Hello, Shoba!

    You're welcome! Sorry to hear that. If you know in your heart that you're a blue-sky thinker, you shouldn't waste your time to please them. Some people like to pretend or do not care at all. All I can say is that you have a good grasp in English writing. You wouldn't be able to write nice blogs if you're not creative. Perhaps you have a photo about your hobby that we'd like to see to know you better. :)

    Thank you for the example sentence. There's just a tiny error with the use of apostrophe in a plural noun. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a piece of cake for you to fix it yourself. In any case, I'm pleased you've tried to write an example. 

    Many thanks for commenting and cheer up!
