25、g about the business of daily life. Partly as a result, ordinary people often hold the creative person in awe, finding little gradation in genius. Its either the Sistine Chapel ceiling or nothing. Our awe of creativity is like a dragon that blocks the gate to our personal creativity. Weve created th

26、is dragon to protect ourselves from something worse: the possibility that we might really go for it, do the very utmost we can doand find people out there who still dont think its good enough and reject not only what weve done, but us as individuals. What we need to understand is that by refusing to

27、 risk being creative at less than genius levels, we are already rejecting ourselves, passing judgment without evidence. While that judgment mechanism may have served to protect us from censure as children, we as adults no longer need to feel as vulnerable as we did when we were young. What we need t

28、o do instead is assume full responsibility for ourselves. In fact, most individual creativity is pretty humbleno Sistine Chapel ceiling, no Beethovens Ninth Symphony, just a solution to such a mundane problem as getting the microwave merry-go-round to work by turning it over and using it upside down

29、, or finding a new way home, or writing a silly verse to a friend. All of these are valid examples of creative behaviors, because the doing of them includes an element of newness, novelty, and difference. Whats more, no matter how severely our creativity may have been repressed in the past, it can b

30、e reaccessed, stimulated, and developed through life experiences. This is good news not only for the creatively uninformed or uninitiated. The same techniques that can open the creative world to a novice can set off a creative explosion in the adept. Each persons experience of creativity is so uniqu

31、e and individual that no one can formulate a definition that fits everyone else. However, it does have something in common. Many people think of creativity purely in term of inventiveness, and that is surely part of it. Besides, to strengthen creative ability, you need to apply the idea in some form

32、 that enables both the experience itself and your own reaction and others to reinforce your performance. As you and others applaud your creative endeavors, you are likely to become more creative. Creativitys source is the brainnot just one part of the brain, but all of it. Today, this theme song is

33、well established and accepted. Knowing that creativity arises in the brain makes an enormous contribution to our ability to access, stimulate, develop, and apply the process, because it tells us what process we need to follow, and how that process calls on the brains specialized capabilities at each

34、 stage. A major keyperhaps the keyto living creatively is passion, which means a highly compelling, energetic attention to something. Turned-on people of all kinds are passionate. So are collectors , sports nuts, and boys whove just discovered baseball cards or video games, and computer hackers. How

35、 do we reclaim our passion if it has been allowed to dim in our lives? One wayan important wayis to increase the amount of genuine pleasure we allow into our lives.

The bars fill: the shops prosper. “ Its put Aurillac on the map,“ says festival dir

38、ector Jean-Marie Songy. “ Were a place that people visit as opposed to simply passing by. “ And as countless festival organizers and chambers of commerce have realized, the longer visitors stay, the more they spend. As the summer season draws to a close, communities across the world-from outsize cit

39、ies to modest villages-are counting the rewards of tapping into this booming cultural economy. This year Europe alone will stage some 400 arts festivals, ranging from the Reykjavik Jazz Festival to the Edinburgh International Festival of music, opera and theater, which last month celebrated its 60th

40、 anniversary. 2“ More and more places are recognizing the massive economic, cultural and social benefits of a festival,“ says Joanna Baker, the Edinburgh festivals marketing director. To be sure, a successful arts festival represents a happy union of commercial self-interest and public entertainment

41、. Though many of even the best- known festivals need public subsidies to survive, they still provide an opportunity to lift a communitys profile or pack its restaurants and hotels.Festival-goers face an increasingly eclectic array of subjectsand venues. Barcelona, for one, boasts 26 major arts festi

Film buffs can now choose between showings in cities from Aarhus in Denmark to Zagreb, not to mention the Pan-African Festival of Film and Television in Burkina Faso.

43、n recent years, the Hayoon-Wye literary festival in Britain has established similar events in Segovia, Spain, and the Colombian city of Cartagena.

A report published last year for the Edinburgh International Festival warned that the rising tally of festivals would rapidly increase the competition for audiences.

46、 The workaday port of Rotterdam is now home to a year-round series of festivals in part to keep up with its classier neighbor, Amsterdam. In an age of cheap air travel, the opera lover with a free weekend can head for Riga as easily as Salzburg. And theres a finite supply of sponsors and public money, not to mention performers. Already theres grumbling over rising fees for the biggest names. 4“Festivals used to belong to the public,“ says Getz. “Now they are almost
