The 4C model of creativity
Mini-C: personal insights and spontaneous moments of improvisation that make you smile or reflect
Little-C: everyday creativity
Pro-C: work begins to have an impact in some way on a wider scale
Big-C: become the renowned creators that positively impact the world
创造力不止于创造新东西，也不是一定要达到疯癫的程度才是天才。尽管作为普通人的我们难以在短时间内迅速达到Big-C的境界，但却可以从生活中发现mini-c开始，拥抱生活中的小灵光（就像Frank老师一样，从做饭的创新开始），意想不到的小地方也可以有大发现！！！

🎯Summary 个人总结
The author reflected on creative-writing aspirations from a new perspective. First, the dichotomy of creativity - "little c" and "Big C" - is not enough to help recognize the majority's hidden creative potential or strengths in daily lives.
However, an individual's artistic talents are not the best way to determine one's creativity. (art bias)
Creativity encompasses/includes much more than just producing something new. (novelty bias) 盲目寻求新鲜感
The "mad genius" stereotype does not necessarily link creativity closely with mental illness. 天才都是疯子？
📰Background Information/Words of Wisdom (WOW!)
1. 可得性启发/获得性启发 - This is because people tend to use an availability heuristic in their reasoning, meaning they use what's readily available to their mind.
The availability heuristic, also known as availability bias, operating on the notion that, if something can be recalled, it must be important, or at least more important than alternative solutions not as readily recalled, is inherently biased toward recently acquired information.
2. Creativity = thinking + doing
