挖掘你隱藏的創(chuàng)造力的力量
Despite what you might have been taught — everyone can be creative.
不管你是否學(xué)過,每個(gè)人都可以有創(chuàng)造力。
It’s too easy to think of creativity as just being reserved for musicians, artists and writers. In reality, creativity can be used in all jobs and in all areas of life.
我們很容易認(rèn)為創(chuàng)造力只屬于音樂家、藝術(shù)家和作家。事實(shí)上,創(chuàng)造力可以用在所有的工作和生活的各個(gè)領(lǐng)域。
I’m referring to creative traits such as thinking outside the box, finding new solutions to old problems, and combining two ideas to invent a new one.
我指的是創(chuàng)造性的特質(zhì),比如跳出思維定勢(shì),為老問題尋找新的解決方案,并結(jié)合兩種想法來創(chuàng)造一個(gè)新的想法。
For example, think of Henry Ford. He gave people automobiles, when at that time, they probably just wanted faster horses!
例如,想想亨利·福特。他給人們提供汽車,而在那個(gè)時(shí)候,人們可能只是想要更快的馬!
And, then there is Elon Musk. He found a workable solution to the problem of congested roads in towns and cities — the Hyperloop! This is an underground tunnel system that is designed to connect major conurbations using clean, ultra-fast capsules that can carry passengers, cars and freight. In the case of cars — Musk envisages elevators taking the cars down to the tunnel system. Ingenious.
還有埃隆·馬斯克,他找到了一個(gè)可行的方法來解決城鎮(zhèn)道路擁擠的問題——超級(jí)高鐵!這是一個(gè)地下隧道系統(tǒng),設(shè)計(jì)用來連接大城市,使用干凈、超高速的太空艙,可以運(yùn)送乘客、汽車和貨物,就汽車而言,馬斯克設(shè)想用電梯把汽車巧妙地送到隧道系統(tǒng)。
As a final example, I want to tell you about Saltwater Brewery in Florida. They’ve created six-pack rings that are edible by marine life. So instead of the six-pack rings ending up in the ocean and killing sea creatures, these rings actually feed them. They’re made from the by-products of beer brewing, and contain either barley or wheat, and are not just safe for fish to eat — but humans can eat them too!
最后一個(gè)例子,我想告訴你佛羅里達(dá)州的鹽水啤酒廠。他們發(fā)明了放六個(gè)罐子的環(huán)狀物,可供海洋生物食用。結(jié)果是,這些罐子里的食物并沒有最終進(jìn)入海洋并殺死海洋生物,而是為它們提供了食物。它們是由啤酒釀造的副產(chǎn)品制成的,含有大麥或小麥,不僅對(duì)魚類是安全的,人類也可以食用它們!
