Many people says that learning information from study is more significant than to improve creativity because they believe that knowledge is more practical than imagination. But I don't agree with this statement for two reasons. First, people choose different ways to solve difficult problem. In addition, people who have imagination skills are more competitive than people who don't have one.
First of all, In abnomal environment, people try to escape some challenging situations and solve difficult problems through creativity. people solve matters through various ways rather than one way. According to the research at Tokyo University in 2007, people usually utilize their creativity rather than their knowledges when they confront difficult situation. For example, one math professor gave students one difficult calculus problem and suddenly noticed that the problem accounted for 40% of total grading. After he said that, the students tried to solve the problem in different ways. Although they knew how to solve the problem nomally, they didn't do that because they were exposed by stressful circumstance which was professor's abrupt comment. It revealed that common knowledge wasn't helpful in unexpected situation.
Second, imaginative people succeed more easily in their fields. They can treat many tasks and works in unique ways, it leads them to accomplish many things in their area. According to the survey at Samsung Economics Research Institute in 2008, creative workers earned much more money and got higher prospective than employees who didn't have creativity. The research said that creative people had 50% more work efficiency than people who didn't imaginative.
In conclusion, it is important for people to improve creativity because it is helpful in unaccustomed situation and creativity ensure people to succeed in their field. I strongly believe that |
