Innovation ability refers to the potential psychological quality shown in people's successful completion of activities to create new things based on original knowledge and experience.

Through my study of this course, I believe that the essence of innovation is progress and the passion that promotes the progress of human civilization; innovation requires the elimination of old ideas, old technologies, and old systems, and the cultivation of new ideas, New technology, new system. Innovation ability comes from the ability to constantly ask questions and the spirit of perseverance. On the basis of a certain accumulation of knowledge, innovation ability can be trained, inspired, and even "forced out"; the most critical condition for innovation is to liberate one's own Thinking, not rigidly following conventional thinking, constantly making breakthroughs on the basis of summarizing the experience of predecessors. If you do this, you will definitely achieve innovation.

The first is to give yourself the opportunity to observe colorful natural phenomena and conduct experiments with your own hands.

Einstein recalled: "When I was a child of four or five years old, I experienced a sense of wonder when my father showed me a compass. This compass acted in such a certain way. , This experience left a deep and lasting impression on me. "It is precisely because of personal contact with real phenomena that there is a lasting impression in the brain, which makes us think about the existence of known things and stimulates our pursuit of unknown things. Nurture our curiosity. Curiosity is the best motivator. Only then can we summarize past experiences and lessons from current contacts, and on this basis, continue to think, break through, and innovate.

The second is to develop the ability to work hard and concentrate.

The mathematician Hua Luogeng often said a famous saying: "Genius comes from hard work, and intelligence comes from accumulation." He also said: "When I was in middle school, I would spend two hours if it took others one hour. But at work, I would sometimes use less time to solve a problem that others took one hour to solve." However,

Diligence and hard work must be based on the ability to concentrate. The degree of concentration determines the depth and breadth of thinking. The profound thinking giants in the history of science were all very able to concentrate. When Newton was thinking, he mistakenly put his pocket watch as an egg and boiled it in water; Otto Frisch recalled, "Einstein was particularly able to concentrate. I am sure that The real secret to his success: He can concentrate for hours on end at a level that most of us can only sustain for a few seconds at a time.” This shows how important the ability to concentrate is to the success of innovation.

The third is to be good at seizing opportunities.

Human innovation ability is composed of two types of qualities. One is the qualities mentioned above.

The second quality is the ability to discover opportunities and seize them. The story of Zhuge Liang in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a well-known example. Zhuge Liang must have possessed extraordinary intelligence when he lived in seclusion in Wollongong, Nanyang. However, if he had not met Liu Bei and seized this opportunity to come out resolutely, he would not have created that wonderful history that has been praised to this day. Innovative talents must also be good at seizing and creating opportunities. I have met many students in the past few decades.

They all have good personal qualities, but their subsequent achievements vary widely.

One of them The reason lies in whether you are good at seizing opportunities. Han Xin was one of the best soldiers in history. He helped Liu Bang defeat Xiang Yu and establish the Han Dynasty. The story of "Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moon" in "Historical Records - Biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin" is a very dramatic scene in Chinese history. If Xiao He hadn't caught up, Han Xin would have had no choice but to go home and farm, because he had already tried with Xiang Yu and Liu Bang and was rejected. In that case, Han Xin's ambitions and talents would have no chance to be displayed, and he would become one of the lost beings in history. This incident shows how important opportunity is to a person.
