This is the preparation. This is when you immerse yourself in the material. Look for the example of Beethoven.
這就是準備。這就是你將自己沉浸于那事物之中。看看貝多芬的例子吧
Those of you who listen to his music and know his trajectory: Symphony 1 and 2, Mozart. Sounds very similar to Mozart.
如果你們聽過他的音樂,知道他的音樂軌跡:第一和第二交響曲,莫扎特,和莫扎特非常相似
3rd Symphony, Eroica, it's Beethoven.
第三交響曲,英雄,就是貝多芬了
He immersed himself a great deal in the music of the day, studied it and learned it.
他使自己沉浸于當時的音樂,研究它,學習它,
And then, after many years, was able to become Beethoven and creative, and transformed the whole field of music.
然后許多年之后就能獨創自己的風格,具有創造力以及改變整個音樂領域
Being the first of the Romantics.
作為浪漫主義音樂第一人
Second stage, after we prepare and it takes, again, a lot of hard work, whether it's preparation that was done by Bill Gates
第二個階段,在準備好之后,這也需要下很多功夫,無論是比爾蓋茨所做的準備
when he was skipping class or whether it's Bill Clinton.
即便他是在翹課,還是比爾·克林頓

A lot of preparation before you become an expert in the field and are able to introduce Creativity, have that eureka, the insight.
在你成為某領域專家或具有創造力之前都要做大量的準備,才會有頓悟的一刻
Second stage: incubation. And you see all the creative individuals: after you immerse yourself in an area, you do nothing.
第二個階段,孵化。在所有具創造力的人身上都可見:在你將自己沉浸于事物中之后,你什么也不做
You just allow it to marinate. For example, there's no coincidence that we get some of our best ideas in a shower.
你就是沉浸于其中。比方說,我們許多好點子都出現在洗澡的時候并不是巧合
It's no coincidence that Archimedes got his best idea in the bath
阿基米德在泡澡時有了偉大的想法也不是巧合
Mozart used to spend hours a day, just driving around Salzburg and then suddenly he would have the ah ha experience, the eureka. He said
莫扎特曾經每天花好多個小時在薩爾茲堡晃蕩,然后突然他就頓悟了。他說
I could hear the symphony in a second. In a second, he could hear just about everything. OK. So that's Mozart.
我突然能聽到交響樂。突然他聽到了所有。這是莫扎特的故事
