  In 1901 a German scientist named William Roentgen received the first Nobel Prize for Physics.He had discovered X-rays.He made his discovery when he noticed that in certain experiments a special kind of light was made by the cathode rays (阴极设线) hitting a screen.The other scientists working with him had noticed this light but they did not think it was important.Roentgen was the first person to ask himself questions about this special kind of light.When he examined it, he discovered a new kind of radiation called X-rays.

  We often think that a creative idea suddenly comes into our heads from nowhere.This is not usually the case it comes because we are ready to receive it.When someone asked Isaac Newton how he had discovered the laws of gravity, he replied, “I am certain that any mind working on a problem continuously will be prepared for the sudden answer.” Albert Einstein received the Nobel Prize for physics in 1921 and said that there are discoveries waiting to be made if people continue to look and study all the time.

  One of the problems facing creative people is that their ideas may be too new for the rest of the world.It often happens that people laugh at the work of artists and scientists.Barbara McClintock is a good example of someone who continued to think she was right although for 30 years other scientists thought that she was wrong.Finally, her work proving that genes (基因) can make sudden change in heredity (遗传) won her the Nobel Prize in 1983.

  Many creative people looking for ideas or solutions find them in a visual (视觉) form first.Elias Howe, the man who invented the sewing machine, had a big problem facing him.He could not understand how to connect the needle to the rest of the machine.Needles had always had a pointed end, with the hole at the other end.One night in a dream he was attacked by people with sharp spears (矛).In the morning he said, There is the answer staring me in the face! He made a hole in the sharp end of the needle and then connected it to the sewing machine.

  What kind of creativity do you have? You can help your creativity by asking lots of questions, preparing a piece of work

carefully and taking some sensible risks.Work hard and change your way of working sometimes alone, sometimes in a group.Have fun! Be creative!

little money, Walt was encouraged by his mother, and older brother, Roy to pursue his talents.
     During the fall of 1918, Disney attempted to enlist (入伍) for military service. Rejected because he was
