PROUD OF YOUR CREATIVITY? 大創意?小聰明!


We all know creativity is fundamental to human experience. In the book On Creativity, David Bohm, the world-renowned scientist, points out creative impulse is instinctive to everyone, but its revolutionary potential is rarely realised. For, he argues, its success depends upon the individual's ability to jolt the workaday mind into a dynamic state that enables true creativity and originality to become possible. To conclude, creativity can be said to be a metaphor of lifestyle instead of that of ability or talent. So never dream of being creative simply by some new tiny ideas popped up, without a revolutionary change in your lifestyle and values!

如果你以為上圖那種賣弄小聰明的技倆是創意,便大錯特錯。著名科學家David Bohm在其著作《On Creativity》中指出,創意其實與生俱來,但將之實現的潛能卻因人而異。他又認為發揮創意的成功基本,在於將心裡衝擊延伸至實踐創意思維的個人能力,而不在於腦海裡的點子是多麼天馬行空、光怪陸離。那就是說,創意並非一種特殊能力或才華,而是一種生活態度的彰顯。故此,請別為自己的一道有趣點子而自豪並以自己的所謂澎湃創意而自詡,真正的創意應該體現於更偌大寬闊的層面,顯露於更具代表性的轉變之上。
