A few years ago, Masaru Ibuka, the head of Sony, was at a company planning meeting. Suddenly, he had an idea. He stopped the meeting and asked everyone what would happen if Sony took away the recording function (功能) and speakers and sold headphones with a tape player instead. Almost everyone thought he was silly. Still, Ibuka kept his idea and worked at it. The result, of course, turned out to be the successful Sony Walkman.
Good ideas often start with a really silly question. Bill Bowerman was making breakfast one day. As he stood there making cakes for his son, he asked himself what would happen if he poured rubber into his mold (模具). Later, he tried it and the result was something like the bottom of most sport shoes we see today. Still, when the took this idea to several shoe companies, he was laughed

at. In fact, every single company turned his down. Though rather disappointed, Bowerman went on to form his own company, making NIKE sports shoes.
We know today, of course, that each of these ideas caused a successful thing that has changed the way many of us live. The best questions are usually open-ended and are often “silly”. Children aren’t afraid to ask such questions, but adults (成年人) usually are. Think how different the world might be if people never asked “silly” questions!
语言不通顺啊
追答几年前,Masaru Ibuka——索尼公司的负责人在公司规划会议。突然,他想到了一个好主意。他停止了会议,问每个人都将会发生什么如果他拿走了录音功能(功能)和扬声器和耳机出售磁带录音机。几乎所有人都认为他是愚蠢的。不过,他保持他的想法和工作。当然,结果是成功的索尼随身听。
好点子往往从一个非常愚蠢的问题。有一天比尔鲍尔曼是做早餐。作为他的儿子,他站在那里制作蛋糕。他问自己如果他把橡胶倒进自己的模具(模具)。之后,他试过,结果是类似我们今天看到的大多数运动鞋的底部。不过,一些鞋公司当了这个主意,他笑了

在。事实上,每一个公司拒绝了他。尽管而失望,鲍尔曼继续组建自己的公司,耐克运动鞋。
今天我们知道,当然,每一件成功的事情引起的这些想法已经改变了许多人的生活方式。最好的问题通常是开放式的,往往是“愚蠢的”。孩子不是不敢问这样的问题,但成年人(成年人)通常是。认为不同的世界可能是如果人从不问“愚蠢”的问题!
