❶    Diversity, challenge, and conflict help us maintain our imagination.  

 

 

 

❷  Most people assume that conflict is bad and that being in one’s “comfort zone” is good. 

 

❸   That is not exactly true. 

 

 

❹  Of course, we don’t want to find ourselves without a job or medical insurance or in a fight with our partner, family, boss, or coworkers. 

 

❺    One bad experience can be sufficient to last us a lifetime. 

 

 

❻  But small disagreements with family and friends, trouble with technology or finances, or challenges at work and at home can help us think through our own capabilities. 

 

❼   Problems that need solutions force us to use our brains in order to develop creative answers. 

 

❽   Navigating landscapes that are varied, that offer trials and occasional conflicts, is more helpful to creativity than hanging out in landscapes that pose no challenge to our senses and our minds. 

❾    Our two million­-year history is packed with challenges and conflicts.

 

 

 

다양성, 어려움, 그리고 갈등은 우리의 상상력을 유지하게 도와준다. 
대부분의 사람들은 갈 등은 나쁜 것이고 “편안한 구역”에 머무는 것이 좋은 것이라고 단정한다. 
그것은 정확히는 사실이 아니다. 
물론, 우리는 직장 또는 의료보험이 없거나, 배우자, 가족, 직장 상사, 직장 동료들과의 다툼에 빠진 자신의 모습을 보고 싶어하지 않는다. 
하나의 나쁜 경험이 우리에게 평생 지속되는 데 충분할 수 있다. 
하지만 가족과 친구들과의 작은 의견 충돌, 기술적 또는 재정적 문제, 직장과 가정에서의 어려움이 우리의 능력에 대해 진지하게 고민하게 도와준다. 
해결책이 필요한 문제들은 창의적인 해답들을 개발하기 위해 우리의 뇌를 사용하도록 강요한다. 
시련과 갈등을 주는, 변화무쌍한 지형을 운전하는 것은 우리 감각과 마음에 아무런 어려움을 주지 않는 지형을 다니는 것보다 훨씬 더 창의성에 도움을 준다. 
우리의 2백만년 역사는 어려움과 갈등으로 가득 차 있다.
