(H = host 　D = Dr. Bond)
H: Good morning, everyone! Have you ever had such an experience: you are working on some creative jobs for several days but little progress was made; suddenly an idea flies into your mind Then you can’t help shouting out: “Aha! That’s it!” Such flash of insight is quite wonderful, isn’t it How does the inspiration come Why do some people work so hard but achieve very little, while some others seem to do nothing but good ideas emerge Today, we invite Dr. Bond to
TAPESCRIPTS
talk about the creative process.
D: Hello! Everyone may have experienced some kinds of “aha moments”. But there’s much misunderstanding about it. Some think it happens by coincidence. In fact, it actually comes from the efforts you have been constantly making.
H: Do you mean that sudden ideas come from the efforts we have been making before
D: Yes. Behind a brilliant idea, there’s often incredible hard
TAPESCRIPTS
work involved in it. For example, great success of a scientist did not come all at once. Instead, he/ she has to invest many
years of study before making a discovery. The great scientist Albert Einstein seemed to be inspired in discovering the “theory of relativity” when he was rocking his baby. But actually, he had buried himself a great deal in the study of it for years.
H: I see. Inspiration doesn’t appear incidentally.
LISTEN FOR UNDERSTANDING
What example does Dr. Bond use What indicator does he use to show his opinion in talking about the example
Albert Einstein seemed to be inspired in discovering the “theory of relativity” when he was rocking his baby. But actually, he had buried himself a great deal in the study of it for years. The indicator Dr. Bond uses is “but actually”.

TAPESCRIPTS
(H = Host 　D = Dr. Bond)
H: Hello, everyone. Welcome back. So Dr. Bond, just now you talked about the four stages before an “aha moment” may occur. Would you please tell us more about the stages
D: Sure. As I said, the first stage is“preparation”. You need to become deeply involved in the field or area.
H: Could you explain what “incubation” means
D: After you become deeply involved in an area, you do nothing. You just bury yourself in it. For example, Mozart used to spend hours a day just walking around. Then
TAPESCRIPTS
suddenly, he had the “aha experience”.
H: Does that mean “doing nothing”
D: Well, most of us think it’s a waste of time if we do nothing meaningful or creative. In fact, this is not often the case. All we need to understand is that creative insights take time to grow or emerge.
H: OK. I see. We shouldn’t worry but keep calm and wait for ideas to grow, right
D: Exactly. The third stage is called“evaluation”. Once some
TAPESCRIPTS
ideas come up, don’t accept or act immediately, but think carefully first. Ask yourself questions like: Does it really work How does it work Then if the idea is reasonable, the last stage is “elaboration”.
H: I’m afraid I don’t understand what “elaboration” means. Can you explain more
D: This means that you spend hours and hours to write out your articles or make your business plans. That is the whole creative process.
H: Thanks for sharing those interesting views about “aha moments”!
