How are things going? I'm glad you are interested in our cultural heritage protection.
Great progress has made in the past few years. Every year a lot of efforts are made and much money are spent researching and protecting it. People are more aware of the important of protecting the cultural heritage.
However, we are faced over greater challenges in protecting our cultural relics nowadays. We have to make a way for many new buildings. Even worse, a largely number of historic spots have already been destroyed, what worries us a lot.
Considered the factors above, I think more steps should be taken to protecting our cultural heritage. I hope the whole society should actively participate in protecting our cultural heritage.

Creativity is a learnable ability. But in my experience, we can create the conditions to develop it.1.
* Obey your curiosity.
Steve Jobs claimed that creativity is just connecting things. I agree. 2. The best way to build a rich mental database that. will help you solve problems later is to honor passing curiosity. If something excites your brain, spend a moment on it. Follow paths that have no obvious purpose rather than satisfy a fantasy.
*3.
Early in my career, Will Marre, founding president of Stephen Covey s training company, warned me to subscribe to a handful of business journals he listed, and added, “And every time you read one, be sure to read at least one article that 1s of. no interest to you.”I've been rewarded time and again for doing do. Many things that end up in my mind have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as chores and ended with an insight.4.
* Have uncomfortable conversations.
Another great creative stimulus is to regularly engage in conversations with people from whom you might normally recoil( 畏缩). Three of the more unexpectedly fruitful conversations in my life were with a racist taxi driver in London, a drug dealer seatmate on a plane, and an extremist political advocate in Puerto Rico.5.This discipline helped me find the psychological flexibility I needed in Canada.
A.Do things that don't interest you.
B.When you work hard, you can become creative.
C.Here are some of the ways I've learned to be more predictably creative.
D.Have a strange conversation with someone that will happen in the future.
E.If you want to be more creative, you will need to have more things to connect.
F.As a result of these conversations, I gained valuable perspectives from lives I :will never live.
G.Sometimes, we' call things boring simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.
