Here's an interesting question: How curious are you?

這里有一個(gè)有趣的問(wèn)題：你好奇心重嗎,？

As young children, we are endlessly curious about the world around us. We examine and explore everything.

在幼年時(shí)期，我們對(duì)周?chē)澜绯錆M了強(qiáng)烈的好奇心,。在這個(gè)時(shí)期我們?nèi)ヌ剿髦車(chē)囊磺?/span>.

Creative professionals are insanely good at following their curiosity. They know what to look out for during the creative process. It's a skill you can master once you learn to respect your curiosity. Curiosity and creativity are never far apart. You need to be curious to identify problems worthsolving, and then come up with new solutions.

創(chuàng)造型的人極其善于遵循他們的好奇心.在創(chuàng)造過(guò)程,，他們明確地知道在創(chuàng)造階段所需要的東西.一旦你學(xué)會(huì)正視自己的好奇心，你也可以掌握這種能力,。創(chuàng)造力和好奇心總是密不可分的,。你需要保持好奇心從而去判定這個(gè)問(wèn)題是否值得解決，之后再找出解決辦法,。

The importance of asking the right questions and following up with even more questions cannot be overemphasized when you want to solve difficult problems or to create something truly original. Asking the right questions takes as much skill as giving the right answers.

提出正確的問(wèn)題,，甚至提出一些后續(xù)問(wèn)題很重要，但是當(dāng)你想要解決困難的問(wèn)題或者創(chuàng)造一些新穎原創(chuàng)的東西時(shí)，這種重要性則不能被過(guò)度強(qiáng)調(diào),。提出正確的問(wèn)題和給出正確的答案需要同樣的技巧,。

A naturally curious mind takes interest in a wide range of subjects to find connections to help solve everyday problems. When you are open to new ideas, the more you are likely to follow your curiosities, and the more you will be able to connect new information and discoveries with what you already know.

天然地充滿好奇心的思維會(huì)通過(guò)尋找周?chē)鱾€(gè)事物的聯(lián)系來(lái)解決日常問(wèn)題。當(dāng)你面對(duì)一個(gè)新的事物,，如果你越愿意遵循你的好奇心,，那么你越能夠?qū)⑿碌男畔⒑桶l(fā)現(xiàn)與你已知的事物聯(lián)系起來(lái)。

Einstein once said he had no special talent but was rather passionately curious. 

愛(ài)因斯坦曾經(jīng)說(shuō)過(guò)自己并沒(méi)有什么特殊才能,，只是有強(qiáng)烈的好奇心,。

All children are curious about the world and how it works. But for most, their curiosity is satisfied by simple, concrete answers that allow them to move on to other thoughts and emotions. But gifted children, he adds, “may not be satisfied with simple answers. These children often have a need to delve deeper to satisfy their advanced awareness and heightened curiosity.

孩子們都對(duì)周遭的世界以及世界的運(yùn)行充滿好奇。對(duì)于大多數(shù)孩子,，當(dāng)?shù)玫揭恍┖?jiǎn)單固化的答案時(shí),，他們就會(huì)停止對(duì)這件事物的好奇心，馬上就被其他新的事物和情緒所吸引,。他又說(shuō)：“但是對(duì)于一些有天賦的孩子,，他們的好奇心是不會(huì)被簡(jiǎn)單的答案所滿足，他們往往需要深入鉆研,，以滿足他們的超前意識(shí)和好奇心,。”

By nature children are curious, but as we grow up much of our inquisitiveness ebbs. Almost all children in their natural state ask lots of questions. That’s how they learn so much in the first five years of life. Part of what makes curiosity so valuable for our creativity is that it is a kind of “throwback” to childhood, before we had everything figured out and compartmentalized.

孩子們天性充滿好奇,，但是隨著我們長(zhǎng)大,，我們的好奇心會(huì)逐漸衰退。幾乎所有孩子在幼年時(shí)期都會(huì)問(wèn)很多問(wèn)題,。這就是為什么他們能在出生幾年內(nèi)學(xué)會(huì)如此多的東西的原因,。在我們分析解決好一切之前，好奇心對(duì)于創(chuàng)造力如此重要的部分原因是：好奇心能讓我們回到類(lèi)似體驗(yàn)幼年時(shí)期對(duì)世界的不停探索的階段,。

A classic example is Steve Jobs' curiosity for typefaces which led him to attend a seemingly useless class on typography and to develop his design sensibility. Later, this sensibility became an essential part of Apple computers and Apple's core differentiator in the marketplace. Creativity happens by making unexpected connections between existing ideas. 

史蒂夫喬布斯對(duì)字體的探索可以作為一個(gè)經(jīng)典例子,。他最初對(duì)字體感興趣于是便參加一個(gè)看似毫無(wú)用處的排版課程，然后發(fā)展了他的設(shè)計(jì)認(rèn)知,。之后,，在市場(chǎng)上，這種設(shè)計(jì)認(rèn)知成為蘋(píng)果電腦和蘋(píng)果公司的一個(gè)重要組成部分,。創(chuàng)意來(lái)源于將兩個(gè)已有的想法以一種意想不到的方式進(jìn)行結(jié)合,。

 So what do you need to do? To spark new levels of creativity in your work, studies or daily life, you need to observe things around you, practice mindfulness, and step outside your comfort zone.

 那你需要做什么呢？為了能能在你的工作學(xué)習(xí)或日常生活中產(chǎn)生更新的創(chuàng)意創(chuàng)造,，你需要仔細(xì)觀察周?chē)挛?，全神貫注練?xí)正在從事的事情，并且要跳出自己的舒適區(qū),。

Your insatiable drive to create, learn, invent, explore, and observe deserves to have the same status as every other drive in your life. Give yourself permission to wonder what could be possible and make even the slightest move in that direction to find answers. The path to deep knowledge in any field requires you to look for questions that inspire answers you can't possibly predict.

人們應(yīng)該像對(duì)待生活中的其他追求一樣對(duì)待對(duì)創(chuàng)造,，學(xué)習(xí),，發(fā)明，探索以及觀察,，要有無(wú)止盡的追求,。給你自己定一個(gè)任務(wù)，去想想那些事情是有可能的,，之后可以做一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)甚至很微小的嘗試，朝著你定的那個(gè)方向去找尋答案,。在任何領(lǐng)域,，對(duì)深層次知識(shí)的探尋的道路，都需要你探索那些答案不可能被你預(yù)測(cè)到的問(wèn)題,。

Curiosity has been a major factor behind many scientific and technological discoveries and the advancement of human development. Curiosity is a human drive. It's never too late to starting focusing on developing curiosity instincts. Begin practicing mindfulness and be conscious of your immediate surroundings. Be curious about things you usually ignore. Don't take ordinary things for granted. 

對(duì)事物的好奇心是很多科學(xué)技術(shù)發(fā)現(xiàn)以及人類(lèi)發(fā)展超前性背后的一個(gè)重要因素,。好奇心對(duì)于人類(lèi)是一個(gè)重要的推動(dòng)力。我們隨時(shí)都可以開(kāi)始專(zhuān)注對(duì)好奇心本能的培養(yǎng),。這需要做到開(kāi)始全神貫注的練習(xí),，對(duì)你此刻所處的環(huán)境充滿好奇。并且要對(duì)你通常忽略的事物產(chǎn)生好奇心,，不要固守成規(guī),。

Take time to observe and ask questions. Don't just read and learn about your field of education. Explore other industries. Following your curiosity can lead to the breakthrough ideas you have been waiting for as a creative professional. You can only harness and make the most of curiosity if you recognize and accept the need to make timefor it.

學(xué)會(huì)花時(shí)間去觀察并提出問(wèn)題。不要局限于自己學(xué)習(xí)的相關(guān)領(lǐng)域,，要不斷拓展到其他領(lǐng)域,。遵從你內(nèi)心對(duì)事物的好奇，可能帶給你一直等待的突破和發(fā)現(xiàn),。只有識(shí)別并接受自己的好奇心并且在上面花時(shí)間和功夫,，你才能夠控制和充分利用你的好奇心來(lái)完成未知的探索。
