Prevailing mythology has it that creativity is the exclusive domain of artists, scientists, and inventors—a giftedness not available to ordinary people going about the business of daily life. Partly as a result, ordinary people often hold the creative person in awe, finding little gradation in genius. It’s either the Sistine Chapel ceiling or nothing.
Our awe of creativity is like a dragon that blocks the gate to our personal creativity. We’ve created this dragon to protect ourselves from something worse: the possibility that we might really go for it, do the very utmost we can do—and find people out there who still don’t think it’s good enough and reject not only what we’ve done, but us as individuals.
What we need to understand is that by refusing to risk being creative at less than genius levels, we are already rejecting ourselves, passing judgment without evidence. While that judgment mechanism may have served to protect us from censure as children, we as adults no longer need to feel as vulnerable as we did when we were young. What we need to do instead is assume full responsibility for ourselves.
In fact, most individual creativity is pretty humble—no Sistine Chapel ceiling, no Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, just a solution to such a mundane problem as getting the microwave merry-go-round to work by turning it over and using it upside down, or finding a new way home, or writing a silly verse to a friend. All of these are valid examples of creative behaviors, because the doing of them includes an element of newness, novelty, and difference. What’s more, no matter how severely our creativity may have been repressed in the past, it can be reaccessed, stimulated, and developed through life experiences. This is good news not only for the creatively uninformed or uninitiated. The same techniques that can open the creative world to a novice can set off a creative explosion in the adept.
Each person’s experience of creativity is so unique and individual that no one can formulate a definition that fits everyone else. However, it does have something in common. Many people think of creativity purely in term of inventiveness, and that is surely part of it. Besides, to strengthen creative ability, you need to apply the idea in some form that enables both the experience itself and your own reaction and others’ to reinforce your performance. As you and others applaud your creative endeavors, you are likely to become more creative.
Creativity’s source is the brain—not just one part of the brain, but all of it. Today, this theme song is well established and accepted. Knowing that creativity arises in the brain makes an enormous contribution to our ability to access, stimulate, develop, and apply the process, because it tells us what process we need to follow, and how that process calls on the brain’s specialized capabilities at each stage.
A major key—perhaps the key—to living creatively is passion, which means a highly compelling, energetic attention to something. Turned-on people of all kinds are passionate. So are collectors, sports nuts, and boys who’ve just discovered baseball cards or video games, and computer hackers. How do we reclaim our passion if it has been allowed to dim in our lives? One way—an important way—is to increase the amount of genuine pleasure we allow into our lives. There are many things that make life more pleasurable. [br] Ordinary people’s awe of creativity stops them from risking and taking______.
选项
答案
full responsibility for themselves
解析
(根据第三段第一句可知,人们对creativity的敬畏使得他们不敢尝试自我创造。且最后一句what we need to do instead is assume full responsibility for ourselves表明人们应该对自己全权负责,不应因某种敬畏而停滞不前。)
