There is a saying that “It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to always be right by having no ideas at all.” The purpose of the saying is to show us that utmost importance should be attached to innovation and creativity.

To begin with, an attitude of innovation could be said to be the watchword, or motto of science. For example, before a new type of medicine or vaccine is developed, innumerable times of scientific experiment, laboratory tests and live trials must be carried out. In addition, innovation is also responsible for many of today’s business successes. For instance, I personally worked with such a company. It was only after four years and four different tries of varying business models that the entrepreneur finally made his mark, and became the chairman of one of the largest Internet companies.

To sum up, in any field of endeavor, whether it be medicine, engineering or business, it is necessary to first put great emphasis on innovation before one can finally meet with success.

參考譯文

有一句話是這樣說的：“有足夠多的創(chuàng)意，哪怕其中有一些是錯的，也比毫無想法的永遠(yuǎn)正確要好”。這句話的目的是告訴我們應(yīng)該充分重視創(chuàng)新。

首先，創(chuàng)新的態(tài)度可以說是科學(xué)研究的信條。例如，在研發(fā)出新藥物或新疫苗之前，一定有無數(shù)次的科學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)、實(shí)驗(yàn)室檢測和活體試驗(yàn)。其次，創(chuàng)新也是當(dāng)今許多企業(yè)能夠成功的原因。例如，我本人曾在這樣一家公司工作過。這家公司的創(chuàng)始人嘗試了四種不同的商業(yè)模式，歷經(jīng)四年才取得成功。后來他也當(dāng)上了一家最大的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)公司的董事長。

總之，在任何領(lǐng)域，無論是醫(yī)學(xué)、工程還是商業(yè)，一個人必須首先重視創(chuàng)新才能獲得最后的成功。
