Innovation that is not achieved through our own efforts is not real innovation.

-Kōnosuke Matsushita

Imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge is limited, and imagination summarizes everything in the world, promotes progress and is the source of knowledge evolution. Strictly speaking, imagination is a real factor in scientific research.

-Einstein

Knowledge itself does not make people creative. ..... The real key to creativity lies in how to use knowledge flexibly. Discovering new ideas and viewpoints with knowledge and experience is the attitude needed to cultivate creative thinking.

Roger von Izz (United States)

Creativity is the ability that everyone can develop. It is an old concept to limit creativity to the productive creation of a few scientists, writers and artists. ..... Creativity means that everyone, as a human being, has natural potential, which is closely related to the development of mental health. Under the condition of mental health development, everyone can show creativity.

-Maslow (USA)

Knowing what things should be like shows that you are a smart person; Knowing what things actually look like shows that you are an experienced person; Knowing how to make things better shows that you are a talented person.

-Diderot

2. Not superstitious about traditional geological theory: For many years, China has been regarded as an oil-poor country. Because traditional geological theory holds that large oil fields generally grow in marine strata, while most of China is in continental strata, there can be no oil fields with large reserves. However, Li Siguang, an outstanding geologist in China, is not superstitious about traditional theories. According to his geological practice for many years and the experience and lessons of predecessors, he thought deeply and studied repeatedly, and finally put forward his own brand-new oil exploration theory, namely the new Cathaysian tectonic system theory. According to this theory, China has successively discovered Daqing Oilfield, Dagang Oilfield, Shengli Oilfield, Henan Oilfield and Jianghan Oilfield, and finally got rid of the label of "oil-poor country".

4. Turn decay into magic: After the bronze statue of the Statue of Liberty in the United States was renovated for a hundred years, there were 200 tons of garbage on the scene, which was difficult to handle. A man named Stark volunteered to contract the cleaning work. He sorted the waste products, turned the waste copper skin into a memorial tower, turned the waste lead into a commemorative coin, arranged the cement fragments into small stone tablets and put them in delicate and transparent boxes for everyone to choose from. As a result, a pile of garbage that has been neglected and difficult to handle suddenly turned into magic, worth a hundred times, and people rushed to buy it, and 200 tons of garbage was quickly robbed. It is because of Stark's unconventional way of thinking that he came up with a variety of coping styles, which benefited him a lot.

5. Li who is good at innovation: Li, a painter in the Northern Song Dynasty, is not only good at drawing horses, but also good at drawing characters and stories. He once painted a picture of the return and arrival of Tao Qian. Tao Yuanming, a poet in the Jin Dynasty, painted many paintings in the past dynasties, but what he painted was nothing more than the artistic conception of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely", which was usually expressed in the pastoral autumn chrysanthemum. However, Li Yi, contrary to the previous stereotype, painted this "Gao Shi" on the river. A crystal clear river flows eastward, with unique composition and novel conception.
