Being bored can encourage people's creativity-partly to escape the horrible, frustrated. And meaningless feeling of boredom-recent studies find. It could even be true at work.

Psychologists at the University of Central Lancashire had participants copy numbers out of the telephone book for 15 minutes,while others went straight into a standard creativity task.

Both groups were asked to come up with as many different uses as they could for a plastic cup. The group that felt more bored came up with more uses.

Dr. Sandi Mann, one of the study's authors said. " Boredom at work has always been seen as

something to he removed. hut perhaps we should be welcoming it in order to encourage our creativity. What we want LO do next is to see what the practical implications of this finding are. Do people who are bored at work become more creative in other areas of their work-or do they go homeand write novels?"

In a later study, Dr. Sandi Mann found that creativity was reduced when people were still bored but didn't have the chance to daydream.

While we tend to think of boredom as something; that certainly leads to trouble-drinking, gambling. and antisocial behavior, this research suggests differer possibilities.

More than anything, the feeling of boredom is a 8trong signal that we are stuck in some kind of rut and we need to seek out new goals. In the study above, this research led participants to new ideas.

Usually people will do anything to avoid being bored. as it's such an aversive experience. But creative people, like writers, sometimes talk ahout seeking out boredom.

Here is the comedy writer Graham Linehan talking about boredom Lo The Cuardian. "I have to use all these programs that cut off the Internet,force me to be bored, because being bored is an essential part of writing, and the Internet has made it very hard to be bored. The creative process requires a period of boredom ,of being stuck. That's actually a very uncomfortable period that a lot of people mistake for writer's block, but it's actually just part of a long process. "

So, when you start to feel bored , instead of g7ancing at your smartphone.,try being bored for a bit. Who knows what creative thought might come of it?

Nelson Mandela is respected and admired across the world. And to South Africans he is a superstar. He is a hero who shocked the world by fighting for peace between races, despite the 27 years he spent in the prison of the South Africa’s white, racist regime(政权).

Mandela who won the nation’s first all-race elections after the fall of apartheid (种族隔离) in 1994, retired 1999.

But he remains as popular as ever.

“He’s loved by all people, whether you’re white or black, whether you’re young or old,” said Ali Bacher, South

Africa’s former cricket (板球) chief.

His popularity has inspired an entire national industry. His portrait(肖像) has appeared at many places, including

on some goods. His face has appeared on a South African coin, a metropolitan area was named in his honour and

some business leaders hope to build a massive, rotating statue in his likeness --- the Statue of Freedom. It would

stand taller than New York’s Statue of Liberty.

His popular appeal is similar to that of John F. Kennedy with US or Winston Churchill in Britain, but few

politicians in this times have achieved his level of admiration, said Tom Lodge, head of the political science

department of the University of the Witwatersrand.

“Sometimes it isn’t completely appreciated what a skilled performer Mandela has been throughout his political

career. He’s a very, very clever man.” However, he is far from perfect.

Most articles for his birthday, which appeared in every major South African newspaper on the day, brief

mentioned that Mandela did have his shortcomings.

Then they returned to their flowing praises.

“Through the ages, the human race has had its icons (偶像) --- men and women who rose above ordinary people

to inspire their generations,” The Mail and Guardian Weekly said. “In our generation, the gods presented us Nelson

Mandela.”

Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California’s Santa Ana Freeway. It was hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home. I couldn't reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I figured I’d just head east. A bus pulled up, and I asked the driver how far she was going. “Four more lights,” she said. There was another bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a long night. She dropped me off at the end of her route and told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its windshield. It was out of service. But the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver. “I just can’t leave you here,” she said. “This isn’t the nicest place. I will give you a ride home.” “You will drive me home in the bus?” I asked, perplexed. “No, I’ll take you in my car,” she said. “It’s a long way,” I protested. “Come on,” she said. “I have nothing else to do.” As we drove from the station in her car,, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good Samaritan(乐善好施者)picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. “I’m just passing the favor along,” she said. When I offered her money as a thank you, she wouldn’t hear of it. “That wouldn’t make it a favor,” she said. “Just do something nice to somebody. Pass it along.”
