08. Creative is Important then Knowledge

Today I m gonna share two stories about the creativity.(In my own words, i memories it @@)

First story

Once upon a time, An expert mathematician is measuring the volume of light bulb for sir Thomas Edison. The light bulb's shape seem like a sphere but not a sphere, seem like a oval but not oval. This "expert" is having a  problem to find a perfect formula to figure the volume out because the shape for bulb is very unique.At this moment, sir Thomas Edison come, he take up the light bulb, turn it upside down, the pour some water inside the light bulb. Afterward, he pour the water inside a cylinder and take the measurement, solved~ The mathematician feel ashamed because this is a very simple and common method use in measure the volume of unique shape. lol~

Second story

Once upon a time, A person-Mr.A (i forgot who the hell izzit) is step into a bank. He is wearing his armani suit with rolax watch, then he come to a banker, He say...

Mr. A : i would like to apply for a loan.

Banker: yes of course, what is the amount for the loan?

Mr. A : 1 dollar.

Banker : huh? sir are you kidding on me?

Mr. A : Is any rules that state the minimum amount for loan?

Banker : I am not mean that, sure you can, but you need guarantee, do you have any guarantee?

Mr. A take some bonds and cash from his bag...

Mr. A : here is 500 thousand dollar, you may calculate it.

Banker : ....you loan is approved, you need to pay 6 % interest after a year to claim your bonds and cash.

Mr. A : No problem.

When Mr. A is going to leave, the banker ask him

Banker : sir why dont you borrow more money? with 500 thousand dollar guarantee, we actually will     approve the loan amount up to 1 million dollar.

Mr. A : hahaha, ya you are right, but i have been looking for safe case(保险箱) for my cash and bonds from many security companies, their charge for rental is very expensive,  this(bank) is perfect place for me to keep my asset, with a very cheap price, 60cent per year.

This are the 2 stories i shared today, Albert Einstein is right, creativity is more important then knowledge, we should think differently in every perspective. Although sometimes is unrealistic, but creative does make sense and useful in life.
