"創造性のオンオフを決めることはできません。良いアイデアを持つように自分に言い聞かせることはできません。できる限り良いアイデアが生まれる環境を作ることに努めるしかありません。"
— Paul Graham

Simplified Meaning:
Creativity is like a garden. You can't force flowers to grow just by telling them to. Instead, you have to plant seeds, water them, and give them sunlight. Over time, if you take care of the garden, beautiful flowers will bloom. The same goes for coming up with good ideas. You can't demand yourself to suddenly think of something amazing. But you can create conditions that help ideas grow by keeping your mind open, staying curious, and gathering lots of different experiences. For example, take time to relax, explore new hobbies, or discuss thoughts with friends. Doing these things makes it more likely that good ideas will come to you.
