How do people
cultivate their children's creativity?
Aman Bill, a professor at Brandeis University
in Massachusetts, provides the following four skills for parents to train their
children's creativity for reference:
1. Drama. Pretending that they can't communicate
with each other in language, they must pass on each other's information through
pantomime, gestures, and facial expressions pretend to be people's life in
restaurants, airports, or parks, and give children a stack of paper, pencils or
crayons to draw the plot of each other.
2. A small private gallery. Let the child know
that he is just enjoying painting, not pleasing anyone. In this way, children
can develop their own works of art freely. Hanging a blackboard or easel on his
door allows him to create and capture ideas freely.
3. Make a free gift. Encourage children to make
their own gifts when they give them to others. This kind of gift can't be
bought with money. Children's own creation is particularly valuable, which is
very encouraging for children. For example, he can be encouraged to write down
his own fairy tales and homemade children's toys.
4. Play small adult's family wine. let children
play the role of adults, set up dinner at home, practice the etiquette of
entertaining guests, etc.
Developing children's creativity can help
them face the complex society in the future, and know how to learn, choose and
solve problems independently, instead of relying on their parents for
everything.
Only if we pay attention to the cultivation of children's
creativity can the future of the Chinese nation be full of hope.
The importance
of innovation
Basic knowledge
Innovation ability refers to the ability to lead cadres to innovate inappropriate places in their work and create a new situation in line with the development of the times.
It includes insight, memory, imagination,
judgment, thinking, and creativity.
1. Memory: the ability to remember things and
situations experienced. Any innovation activity must be based on the
experiences and things we remember.
2. Insight: the ability to observe the
essence of things through their surface phenomena. Keen insight is an
indispensable ability for a qualified leader. He is able to see things clearly,
see the content or meaning behind things and people's behaviors, find problems
in time, make correct decisions, and handle them properly.
3. Judgment: refers to the ability to analyze
and distinguish things and various phenomena. Leading cadres should think and
analyze all kinds of knowledge and information, dig out new things and
phenomena, and then lead to innovation. At present, in the process of reform
and development, some new problems and contradictions are constantly emerging.
This requires our leading cadres to seriously analyze and study, use the
correct scientific resolution to judge the past, extract the essence, and remove
the dross.
4. Creativity: refers to the ability to
produce new ideas and create new things. Nowadays, the competition in the world
is increasingly fierce, and innovative nations will be more and more
developed. Leading cadres shoulder the historical mission of national
rejuvenation. Only through constant innovation can we create a new situation in
the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
5. Thinking power: it is an indirect and
general reflection of objective things. It is the ability to find out the
internal, essential, and inevitable connection between things. Leading cadres
should improve the broadness, profundity, and flexibility of thinking, break the
thinking and rigidity, and think in the interaction of things.
6. Imagination: the ability to produce images
or new ideas from past experience and knowledge through thought processing.
Imagination can enable leaders to develop rich imaginations, make new plans, and
create new working situations in a complex environment.
These abilities are interactive and
interrelated. Observation is the window, memory is the warehouse, imagination
is the wing, judgment is the key, thinking is the needle, and creativity is the
adhesive.
The important
role of innovation
1. Innovation ability is conducive to giving
full play to the subjective initiative of Party and government leaders. In the
new era of China's reform and development, unprecedented new situations and
problems have emerged. This requires leading cadres to give full play to their
subjective initiative, carry out their work creatively, and inject new vitality
into the construction of organizations and society.
2. Innovation ability is conducive to
enhancing the competitiveness of the organization. If a country and a nation
want to maintain a strong vitality, it must have strong competitiveness and
innovation ability. Leading cadres must refer to the scientific development concept.
With the core of realizing, maintaining, and developing new ways and means for
the fundamental interests of the people, we should change our work
responsibilities, improve our work methods, enhance the functions of serving
the masses, expand the coverage of the work of the party organization, and
further improve the combat effectiveness, cohesion, and influence of the party
organization.
3. Innovation ability is conducive to
improving the working efficiency of leading cadres of the party and government.
The exertion of innovation ability will promote the leading cadres to change
their ideas, release their own energy continuously, straighten out the
management system, integrate various social resources, drive the masses to work
together, and thus promote the improvement of work efficiency.
Analysis of
the reasons for the lack of innovation ability
1. Pay too much attention to their own
interests. They are afraid of taking responsibility for mistakes in
decision-making, of losing their "seats" due to the blame of leaders
at higher levels, and of losing the trust of the masses. Therefore, in the work,
it is better to miss a good opportunity than to innovate, rather escape
than risk innovation.
2. The idea is rigid and the idea is
conservative. Some cadres are conservative in thinking, accustomed to wearing
new shoes, and taking the old road; they have low working goal orientation, low starting point, and lack the awareness of catching up and surpassing
second-class and first-class undertakings and achievements.
3. Lack of ability. In the face of
difficulties and problems, we lack confidence in development, the courage to work
hard for the world, self-pressure, and ambition. They are not good at an in-depth
study of new problems, lack awareness of innovation, dare not crack the
problems in development, lack motivation for reform and innovation, do not
pay attention to learning, especially knowledge of science and technology and
market management, and lack of new ideas and new methods in dealing with a market
economy.
The performance of the lack of innovation and the ability to lead cadres
1. Being content with the status quo and not
considering progress. Some cadres lack subjective thinking, lack motivation
for innovation, copy old rules, act on the basis of experience, completely copy
the instructions of their superiors, not be distorted, and lack a sense of
competition;
2. Fear of fear and escape from innovation.
Some cadres are apprehensive and conditionally "overemphasize objective
issues, lack confidence and courage to innovate, lose organizationally
vitality, and lose opportunities for development.
3. Impetuousness and distorted innovation.
Some cadres lack awareness of the strength and weaknesses of district chiefs and
are impetuous. Deviating from reality, using brute force as an innovation,
copying the model of others, mentally arrogant, bossy, very happy, and keen on
"political performance projects." Some cadres not only lack the
ability to innovate but also do not allow others to have innovative
performances. Difficulties, whispering innovation results.
5. Pride and self-satisfaction, not
considering innovation. Some cadres, after achieving results, think that they
are not successful, continue to create new motivation, and lead to backwardness.
What's the
difference between creativity and innovation?
1. Different concepts. Creativity is a unique
comprehensive ability of human beings. Creativity refers to the ability to
produce new ideas and discover and create new things. It is a psychological
quality necessary for a successful creative activity. It is a comprehensive
optimization of knowledge, intelligence, ability, and excellent personality.
Innovation refers to the production or
adoption, assimilation, and development of a new value-added product in the
economic and social fields; the renewal and expansion of products, services, and
markets; the development of new production methods; and the establishment of
new management systems.
Innovation is a kind of behavior, which is
guided by the existing thinking mode to put forward ideas different from conventional or ordinary people's ideas, and uses the existing knowledge and
materials to improve or create new things, methods, elements, paths, and
environments in a specific environment in line with the idealized needs or to
meet the social needs, and can obtain certain beneficial effects.
Innovation is a unique cognitive and
practical ability of human beings, the advanced expression of human subjective initiative, and the inexhaustible power to promote national progress and social
development.
If a nation wants to be at the forefront of the times, it can't
stop all kinds of innovation without innovative thinking at one moment.
Innovation plays an important role in the research of economy, technology,
sociology, and architecture.
2. Creativity refers to the ability to
produce inventions on a zero basis, such as China's nuclear industry.
Innovation is to update and upgrade technology at a higher level on the basis
of certain technology, such as the enterprise transformation that people are
concerned about at present.
3. Creativity is a kind of ability, while
innovation is a process and a result.
Ways to
foster creativity
1. Stimulate curiosity and curiosity,
cultivate keen observation and rich imagination, especially creative
imagination, and cultivate the ability to change and discover new problems or
relationships;
2. Pay attention to the fluency, flexibility, and originality of thinking;
3. Cultivate the thinking of seeking
differences and seeking common ground.
For people, creativity is not only a gift and
talent but also a responsibility. Creativity is not "Deus ex machine
a" (an unexpected way to solve a difficulty), nor can we call it
"Deus ex machine".
From the perspective of productive expression of
creativity, creativity is the result of education, cultivation, and practice.
Reading questions is to understand the whole process of creative activities and
create preconditions for promoting creativity.
