“Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people.”
「創新只是把東西連接起來，當你問有創造力的人他們如何辦到某事，他們會感到有點罪惡感因為他們並沒有真的辦到，他們只是看見某件事，一段時間過後，這對他們而言顯得很清楚。那是因為他們能夠連接過去的經驗並組合成新的東西，而他們能夠做到如此的原因是比起其它人他們有更多的經驗或更深入地思考他們的經驗。」
