原文:10 Steps for Boosting Creativity
By: Jeffrey Baumgartner

听听巴赫的音乐作品(详见巴赫生平,Johann Sebastian Bach introduction in wiki).推荐网站试听:猫窝.我最喜欢的是勃兰登堡协奏曲中的这一段:G大调第四勃兰登堡协奏曲:下载.如果巴赫的音乐(号称贝多芬第二)都不能激发你的创造力,你可能确实需要看看医生了.
头脑风暴.只要你适时适当地去做,头脑风暴不仅仅让你有满脑子的好点子,同样可以帮你你作出最佳的抉择.想知道更多的头脑风暴的相关信息,请看这里.我最喜欢的工具是Mind manager.
随身带上笔和小贴士.这样一来,灵感一现的时候,你能够随时随地记下.也许,当你再次阅读小纸条,会发现90%的想法都是那么幼稚和可笑,没关系,别着急,剩下那些10%的闪亮创意都是金子.
如果你苦于想不出好办法,打开字典吧,随便好一个单词,想法设法和你想的问题扯上关系.呵呵,你会惊奇的发现好像这下就有办法了.这是一条很简单但有鲜为人知的真理:自由是创造力的大敌,如果我们的思维过于发散,没有什么限制,将没有任何创造力而言.
界定你的问题.随便一张纸,用你的手写手机,电脑也可以,只要能记下你的笔记就可以,详细而周密地定义你的问题,一旦你这么做了,你将发现很快会有解决方案.
如果实在想不出来了,就散步去吧.换个环境对你的思考很有帮助,轻微的运动也会唤醒你的大脑.
别看电视.JPB实验室的试验表明:电视会延缓你的耳朵和鼻子的灵敏度.也许这不是绝对的,但是确实会发生.
不要吸食毒品.吸毒的人往往认为这样会激发他们的灵感,实际上,在吸毒的人眼里,其他人看上来都在吸食毒品.
贪婪地阅读象海绵吸水那样.阅读可以训练你的大脑,给你更多的灵感,获取的大量的信息让你轻松的把他们联系起来从来获得更多的创造力.
训练你的大脑.你的大脑就和你的身体一样,需要运动来保持健康.如果你没有锻炼你的大脑,他也会象你的身体一样变得慵懒和乏力.训练大脑可以通过更多的阅读,和有智慧的人交流,甚至和人争论,争论可以让你的大脑细胞超负荷的工作.但是请注意:争论政治和电影导演云云就可以了,犯不着为谁应该去洗完争执半天.

Listen to music by Johann Sebastian Bach. If Bach doesn't make you more creative, you should probably see your doctor - or your brain surgeon if you are also troubled by headaches, hallucinations or strange urges in the middle of the night.

Brainstorm. If properly carried out, brainstorming can help you not only come up with sacks full of new ideas, but can help you decide which is best. Click here for more information on brainstorming.

Always carry a small notebook and a pen or pencil around with you. That way, if you are struck by an idea, you can quickly note it down. Upon rereading your notes, you may discover about 90% of your ideas are daft. Don't worry, that's normal. What's important are the 10% that are brilliant.

If you're stuck for an idea, open a dictionary, randomly select a word and then try to formulate ideas incorporating this word. You'd be surprised how well this works. The concept is based on a simple but little known truth: freedom inhibits creativity. There are nothing like restrictions to get you thinking.

Define your problem. Grab a sheet of paper, electronic notebook, computer or whatever you use to make notes, and define your problem in detail. You'll probably find ideas positively spewing out once you've done this.

If you can't think, go for a walk. A change of atmosphere is good for you and gentle exercise helps shake up the brain cells.

Don't watch TV. Experiments performed by the JPB Creative Laboratory show that watching TV causes your brain to slowly trickle out your ears and/or nose. It's not pretty, but it happens.

Don't do drugs. People on drugs think they are creative. To everyone else, they seem like people on drugs.

Read as much as you can about everything possible. Books exercise your brain, provide inspiration and fill you with information that allows you to make creative connections easily.

10.

Exercise your brain. Brains, like bodies, need exercise to keep fit. If you don't exercise your brain, it will get flabby and useless. Exercise your brain by reading a lot (see above), talking to clever people and disagreeing with people - arguing can be a terrific way to give your brain cells a workout. But note, arguing about politics or film directors is good for you; bickering over who should clean the dishes is not.

外企必备的十个英文单词

1、background

　　像什么IBM什么的，用字母当公司名的那可都是大外企，不是什么民企能够比拟的！记得到找工作的时候，人力资源部(俺这叫HR)的领导看着我的简历说，你的background不错，俺心里就一阵兴奋，心想这可真到外企了呀！

　　2、conferencecall

　　这可是主要工作方式，有道是大call三六九，小call天天有，有事咱就call一下，call完该干吗咱还干吗呀！

　　3、aggressive

　　这是领导表扬和批评人用的：“小×，你最近可是很不aggressive啊！”于是，俺是每天很aggressive地上班，很aggressive地下班。

　　4、addsb.toloop

　　这就是说要把谁给绕到圈子里去，有的事知道的人少，这就很不好，应该让多些人知道，于是就把他绕到圈子里去。

　　5、involve

　　跟上面的意思一样，就是上面的是邮件里面说的，这个是用话说的。需要谁来搀和一下了，就把谁给involve进来。

6、broadcast

　　这是外企发通知用的，比如“嘿，听说了吗？broadcast说了，食堂要涨价了，原来6块，现在6块6了！”

　　7、team

　　这是生产队，比如开会时别的部门的领导问俺：“你是哪个team的？”俺就回答说：“俺是龟田小队长那个team的呀，都是皇军的队伍。”

　　8、FYI for your information

　　这个缩写，老难了，俺第二年才明白啥意思，就是不关你事，让你看看的意思。

　　9、CC Carbon Copy

　　这也是缩写，后来才搞明白，就是把邮件塞给你想给看的人。比如，“小×，把这个邮件‘CC’××领导！”“领导，这个邮件已经‘CC’给你了！”

　　10、push

　　做工作嘛，困难大了就要推呀，反正这工作来了，俺就得推这个，推那个，一个推一个,往往跟俺家驴推磨似的，推了一圈，还得自己推啊，后来搞明白，咱的推功夫没有人家高啊！
