Discoveries in science and technology are thought by "untaught minds" to come in blinding flashes or as the result of

dramatic accidents. Sir Alexander Fleming did not, as legend would have it, look at the mold ( 霉 ) on a piece of cheese and

get the idea for penicillin there and then. He experimented with antibacterial substances for nine years before he made his

discovery. Inventions and innovations almost always come out of laborious trial and error. Innovation is like

soccer; even the best players miss the goal and have their shots blocked much more frequently than they score.
The point is that the players who score most are the ones who take most shots at the goal ---and so it goes with innovation

in any field of activity. The prime difference between innovators and others is one of approach. Everybody gets ideas, but

innovators work consciously on theirs, and they follow them through until they prove practicable or otherwise. What ordinary

people see as fanciful abstractions , professional innovators see as solid possibilities.
"Creative thinking may mean simply the realization that there' s no particular virtue in doing things the way

they have always been done, " wrote Rudolph Flesch , a language authority, this accounts for our reaction to

seemingly simple innovations like plastic garbage bags and suitcases on wheels that make life more convenient :"How come

nobody thought of that before?"
The creative approach begins with the proposition that nothing is as it appears. Innovators will not accept that there is

only one way to do anything. Faced with getting from A to B, the average person will automatically set out on the best-known

and apparently simplest route. The innovator will search for alternate courses, which may prove easier in the long run and

are bound to be more interesting and challenging even if they lead to dead ends.
Highly creative individuals really do march to a different drummer.

一些不了解情况的人认为科学技术的发现来自盲目的灵感或者是戏剧性的意外事故的结果。但Alexander Fleming 并不像传说中的那样，看着

奶酪上长出的霉，在那一瞬间就想到了青霉素。在这一发现之前，他已经花了九年的时间实验抗生素物质。发明创造几乎总是

来自辛勤的实验和不断的错误之后。创造就像踢足球，即使最好的球员也会失球，并且球被堵射的机会总是比进球的机会要频繁的多。

比赛中得分最多的球员正是那些射门次数最多的——任何领域中的发明创造也都是这样的。发明家与其他人的主要区别在于方法的不同，每个

人都会有些想法，但发明家有意识的试验自己的想法，直到最终证明可行或不可行。而普通人认为是奇思怪想的东西，在职业发明家的眼里也

许就是极大的可能。
语言学权威Rudolph Flesch 曾写道：“创造性思维的含义也许就是认识到没有必要总是循规蹈矩的做事情。” 这道
