创造力并不是与生俱来的品质，成功不会一蹴而就。它需要努力，需要汗水，需要坚持，需要把握，甚至需要去创造机遇……只有付出才有回报，只有拼搏才会成功！毕加索“三十年到三十秒”的故事便是对此的完美诠释。 A Little Interesting Story About Pablo Picasso There is an interesting story about how Pablo Picasso，the famous Spanish artist，developed the ability to produce a remarkable work in just minutes.

A study tracked the ages of Nobel Prize winners，great inventions and scientists.The researchers found that most groundbreaking (有突破性的) work peaked during the late thirties—at least a full decade into any individual career.Even in the fields of science and maths，creative progress often requires more than ten years' work. These findings match the work done by previous researchers as well.For example，a study conducted at Carnegie Mellon University by Professor John Hayes found that out of 500 famous musical pieces，nearly all were created after ten years of the composer's career.In later studies，Hayes found similar patterns with poets and painters.He began referring to this period—hard work and little fame—as the “ten years of silence”． Whether you are a composer or a scientist，creativity isn't a quality you are born with or without.It's something that is discovered，h
