正确答案：(正确答案： How to Be Creative A creativity expert said: "If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original." This enlightening remark points out clearly the way to be creative. If you want to be creative, you shouldn't be frightened of making mistakes. Being creative is not easy, becau you have to think out of the box and keep on trying. Breaking away from established patterns which we ud to be comfortable with requires lots of courage. Perhaps there is no example better than the story of Thomas Edison. In order to invent a long-lasting, practical electric light bulb, he tried thousands of different materials. After tons of failure, people began to mock at him and didn't believe that he could succeed. However, he stuck with it and finally made a great achievement. The light bulbs have greatly changed the world. When asked to comment on his failure, he said: "I am not discouraged, becau every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward." To sum up, being creative is tough and calls for courage to defeat the fear of making mistakes. If you are afraid of being wrong, you'll never be creative.)
