Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Being creative, rather than planning carefully, will come up with best solution to a problem?
The statement seems to neglect the importance of the planning. In its opinion, even without considering the pros and cons and planning carefully in advance, just being creative would also tackle a puzzle easily. Therefore, I should oppose it with no doubt. In my opinion, actually both of the aspects are the key points in solving a problem so that we can’t ignore either side.
On the one hand, creativity, whose importance can’t be exaggerated, usually brings a novel idea, and helps us find the effective solution, which is really beyond our expectation and usually results in great surprise. A case in point is the design of Eiffel Tower, which was thought to be absolutely impossible at that time, since it was so high and no such architecture had been designed before, even some mathematical professor predicted that it would collapse before it was completed. And there wasn’t any technology that could be referred to, what’s more, the structure as well as other lots of things was the tough problem that should be solved. However, Eiffel, the designer, creatively applied the latticework as the structure and combined the millions of the iron parts by rivets, which could cope with the difficulties easily. In the end, the tower was completed successfully, which is a miracle in the world. Now it is a symbol of the France and brings about lots of benefit by attracting large numbers of the tourists. Actually, it is the creativity that leads to the high technology and the masterpieces. It can be safe to say without creativity, there wouldn’t have so many inventions and miracles and our lives standard wouldn’t have been improved so dramatically.
On the other hand, however, only by the creativity without planning carefully, we can’t get the problem settled properly and effectively either. Once again is the case of Eiffel Tower. If the designer hadn’t planned what to do first and what to second with a variety of the creativities, the tower wouldn’t be completely successfully. Another case is about preparing the examination. We should make a schedule and check what should be done right now and what then, by which we can be more effective. If not, we may be in a mess and just forget something time and again.
To draw a conclusion, both being creative and planning carefully are essential to solve a problem successfully and effectively. In fact, they are interdependent and if we plan without being creative, it is meaningless and we would fall behind and even be washed out, while if without planning carefully, being creative is no more than a ship without a steering in the sea. Therefore, only when we combine the two aspects, can we make a good work. |
