For every brilliant idea he had, there was a d
13、ud, like the perpetual cigar that consisted of a hollow tube with a spring clip that moved tobacco forward as it burned.J Whenever Edison found something interesting, he would explore it intellectually, before he applied his emotions and prejudices.A)Many Americans have bought into the conventional
14、wisdom that creativity is an inherent gift, dividing us into two groups: “artistic types- painters, musicians, directors, actors, writers, mimes, comedians-and those deemed not especially creative, who usually wind up in business, accounting, law, or health care.B)Edison was granted 1093 patents for
15、 inventions ranging from the lightbulb, typewriter, and electric pen to the phonograph, motion-picture camera, and alkaline storage battery. When he died in 1931, he left 3500 notebooks that are preserved in the laboratory archieves at the Edison National Historic Site.C)Edison believed that to disc
16、over one good idea, you had to generate many. Out of quantity comes quality. He set idea quotas for all his workers. His own quota was one miner invention every 10 days and a major invention every six months. It took more than 50,000 experiments to invent the alkaline storagecell batery and as many
17、as 9,000 to perfect the lightbulb. Edison liiked at creativity as simply good, honest, hard work. For every brilliant idea he had, there was a dud, like the perpetual cigar that consisted of a hollow tube with a spring clip that moved tobacco forward as it burned. Although the cigar was a marketing
18、failure, its companion product, the cigar lighter, was a success.D)Edison felt his lack of formal education was, in fact, a “blessing. This enabled him to approach his work with far fewer assumptions than his more-educated competitors, who included many theoretical scientists, ph.D.s, and engineers.
19、 He approached any idea or experience with wild enthusiasm and would try anything out of the ordinary.E)He felt that in some ways too much education corrupted people, prompting them to make so many assumptions that they were unable to see many of natures great possibilities.

21、tion to something that already exists. He studied all his inventions and ideas as springboards for other invention and ideas in their own right. He was tireless in his persistence to change a subject into somethine else through trial and error until he found the idea that worked. In Edisons laborato
22、ry, theres a surprising number-hundreds -of phonograph horns of every shape, size, and material. This collection of rejected ideas is a visual evidence to Edisons approach to creativity-which was, in essence, to try out every possible design he could conceive of. Once asked to describe the key to cr
23、eativity, he reportedly said to never quit working on your subject until you get what you are after.G)Whenever Edison was working on one thing and found something else “interesting, he would drop everything else and explore it. In developing the electric light, Edison absentmindedly rooled some lamp
24、black in his fingers one day while working with a platinum filament. He looked at the twisted poece of lampblack and his “Eureka moment-why not try to use carbon for the filament? His first bulb burned for 13 hours with the power of 30 candles; a few days later he got it up to 100 hours by twisting
25、and shaping the filament like a horseshoe.H)The interesting aspect of carbon to Edison was the fact that he could twist it like rope. Edison wasnt the first person in his lab to notice that you could twist carbon, but he was the first to pursue it. Whenever Edison found something interesting, he wou
26、ld explore it intellectually, before he applied his emotions and prejudices.I)If you want to become more creative, start acting like you are creative. Suppose that you wanted to be an artist, you would begin behaving like an artist by painting every day. You may not become another Vincent van Gogh,
