6. Set constraints to boost your creativity. "People think of creativity as this sort of unbridled thing, but engineers thrive on constraints. They love to think their way out of that little box: We know you said it was impossible, but we’re going to do this, this, and that to get us there."
6. 约束使人创意无限。“人们认为创造力是无拘无束的,但工程师的创意却因约束而旺盛。他们喜欢从一个狭小的角度出发,得到创意:你们要说这不可能,但我们是这样做的,约束会使人创意无限。”
