所以你想成为一名发明家(inventor)。

几乎每个人都发明创造(invent),但他们没有意识到(recognize)他们的想法是一项发明(invention)。

所有孩子都发明创造,孩子通常比成年人更有创造力,有些孩子甚至获得了专利(patent)。

大部分人在长大后思想(thinking)变僵化(rigid)。

而发明的关键就是思想不要僵化。

当人们获得(gain)更多的经验时,他们倾向于(tend)排除创造性的(creative)想法。

发明家在实用和创造之间取得平衡(strikeabalance)。

所有发明
家,即使是成年人,对于每个值得(worth)追求的想法,都会产生一百个(ahundred)或更多的不实用而无法获得专利的想法。

一项发明就是解决一个问题的一种新方法。

我们之前的发明家让大部分发明成为可能(possible)。

没有人知道最早的一些发明是谁做出的——如衣服、杠杆、轮子(wheel)、如何取火、存火,仅举几例。

大部分发明家没有因为他们的想法而获得荣誉(credit)。

无论过去还是现在都是这样。

对于如今的发明家来说,原因很简单一大部分发明家缺少(lack)其他技巧,即让人们知道他们创造了何物并且知道为什么他们的发明优于从前的(previous)发明。

许多发明和科学(science)关系甚少或毫无关系。

另一方面,要让你的发明起作用,就经常要用到科学。

能够证人们买得起发明物也是同样重要的。

科学会有助于你选择(makeachoice)发明的最正确方式以及所需的材料(material)。

了解商业也很重要。

大部分发明家必须亲自制造并销售他们的发明。

通常,大型企业在看到客户(customer)从发明家手里购买发明物之前是不会对发明家的发明感兴趣的。

《营销(market)你的发明》是一本不错的书,在发明家书店可以买到这本书(beavailablefromTheInventorsBookstore).。
