"創造力の最大の障害は何か？結果への執着だ。特定の結果に執着すると、自分のしていることを制御し操作しようとし、その過程で他の可能性を閉ざしてしまう。創造力は単に成功することではない。実験し発見することだ。"
— Gordon MacKenzie
Simplified Meaning:
Being creative means trying new things without worrying too much about the end result. When you get too focused on what you want the final product to look like, you start to try to control every little detail. This can actually limit your creativity because you stop exploring other ideas that might be better. Think of a child painting a picture; they just enjoy the process without worrying if it looks perfect. They might mix colors randomly and discover something beautiful. Similarly, an inventor might come up with a great new idea by experimenting and making mistakes. Focusing less on a specific goal allows more room for unexpected and wonderful results. To apply this to your own life, try approaching tasks with an open mind, free from the need for a perfect outcome, and see where your creativity takes you.
