"Ne pense pas. La pensée est l'ennemie de la créativité. Elle est consciente d'elle-même, et tout ce qui est conscient de soi est mauvais. Tu ne peux pas essayer de faire des choses. Tu dois simplement faire des choses."
— Ray Bradbury
Simplified Meaning:
When we overthink, it disrupts our natural ability to be creative. Instead of letting ideas flow freely, we become too aware of ourselves and start doubting every idea. This worry and hesitation make our efforts less effective and less genuine. For instance, if an artist keeps questioning whether their painting will turn out well, they might end up with a stiff and unoriginal piece. On the other hand, if they just go with their instincts and paint without overthinking, they're more likely to create something unique and powerful. Therefore, rather than worrying or overanalyzing, it's better to dive in and start doing the work with confidence and trust in your own abilities.
