What Conceals Creativity?
是什么掩盖了创造力？
The heavens are fair, and the creativity we possess is equal. Imagine a person covered in mud from head to toe, but if you wash away the mud, deep inside they are just like you and me. So, what does the mud represent? It symbolizes our "twisted thinking." For example:
I'm not an artist, so why do I need creativity?
Randomly piecing together other people's ideas is considered creation!
It's better to be average and avoid standing out.
It's easier to succeed by riding on the shoulders of giants.
Why do I need creativity to make a living?
Creativity is elusive and untouchable, so it's better to keep a distance.
Knowledge is more important than wisdom, not to mention the intangible creativity.
It's more cost-effective to copy than to create. No one will notice.
There's nothing new under the sun, everything is just a copy! Where is the creativity?
Creativity belongs to the humanities, like art, literature, and music, not the core subjects.
What do you even learn for creativity? It's too abstract.
Opening new paths doesn't guarantee success. Let others pave the way first, then observe and adapt to the changes.
I don't have the talent for creation. I was terrible at drawing as a child.
My job doesn't require creativity, so I can't utilize it.
During my education, obedience, following rules, and shallow understanding were emphasized. Exam results were prioritized.
Both my parents are conformists, and I didn't inherit their creativity.
People around me advise against pursuing creative endeavors because they don't provide enough income to sustain oneself.
I just need to make slight modifications to others' creations and pass them off as my own.
Creativity is innate and doesn't require learning.
People with creativity are all peculiar and unconventional.
Gradually, you deceived yourself. When you were a child, you hadn't been tainted by mud yet, so your world was full of imagination, and you bravely experimented. As you grew older, you accumulated more twisted thinking, but you never reflected on it. You followed the crowd without questioning, unable to distinguish between excuses and truths.
As they say, habits become natural. You are the one covered in mud, going about your daily routine. Until one day, a small piece of the mud on you peels away due to a fortunate encounter, and you begin to feel your "unique flavor" and suddenly brighten up.
That's when your life truly unfolds.
天道公平，我们所拥有的创造力本应平等。想象一个浑身沾满泥浆的人，只要洗去泥浆，内在的本质与你我并无二致。那么，泥浆又代表着什么呢？它象征着我们被掩盖的“扭曲思维”。举个例子：
我不是艺术家，为何需要创造力？
无端地拼贴他人的想法就等同于创作！
宁愿平庸，躲避“出头之鸟”的命运。
站在巨人的肩膀上奋斗更容易成功。
为了维持生计，我还需要创造力吗？
创意的涌现无法掌控，难以触摸，所以敬而远之。
知识比智慧更为重要，更何况虚无缥缈的创造力。
抄袭比创作更具成本效益，无人会察觉。
天下并无新事，万物皆一大抄！哪里还有创意可言。
创造力仅属于文科，如美术、文学和音乐，并非主科目。
创造力需要学习什么？太过虚无缥缈。
开辟新的道路并非必然成功，先让他人引路，再静观其变，以不变应万变。
我并没有天赋于创作，小时候画画都很难看。
我的工作并不需要创造力，无法发挥。
在求学时强调遵从、奉行规矩和不求甚解，考试成绩至关重要。
我的父母皆为守旧之人，我未能继承他们的创造力基因。
身边的人都劝我不要从事创作，因为所得报酬难以维持生计。
我只需稍作改动他人的创作，便可瞒天过海，据为己有。
创造力天生具备，无需学习。
拥有创造力的人都是独具匪夷之才的。
渐渐地，你也欺骗了自己。小时候尚未沾染泥浆，因此孩童的世界充满了幻想，同时也勇于尝试。随着年龄的增长，我们接触到的扭曲思维越来越多，却未曾反省，盲从他人，无法分辨借口与真理。
所谓习惯成自然，你如同每天来来往往的浑身泥泞。直至某一天，因机缘巧合，你身上的泥浆剥落了一小角，你才开始感受到自己的“独特气息”，蓦然开朗。
那时，你的人生才真正展开。
Love. David
