Creativity: “An arbitrary harmony, an expected astonishment, a habitual revelation, a familiar surprise, a generous selfishness, an unexpected certainty, a formable stubbornness, a vital triviality, a disciplined freedom, an intoxicating steadiness, a repeated initiation, a difficult delight, a predictable gamble, an ephemeral solidity, a unifying difference, a demanding satisfier, a miraculous expectation, and accustomed amazement.” (George M. Prince, The Practice of Creativity, 1970) Creativity is the ability to produce work that is both novel and appropriate.
创造性:“一种果断的和谐，一个预期的惊讶，一项习惯的新发现，一个熟悉的惊喜，一种慷慨的自私，一个预料之外的肯定，一种形式上的顽强 ，一件重要的琐事，一种有节制的自由，一个令人兴奋的进步，一个重复的开始，一份辛苦的喜悦，一场可预测的赌注，一个短暂的稳固，一种一 致上的差异，一个渴望的满足者，一种奇迹的渴望以及习惯性的惊异。”(乔治M.普林斯， 《创造性》， 1970)。 创造性是一种从事创新性工作的能力。
