It's easy to think that successful innovators just have some gift that the rest of us don't. The fact is that they follow some ways to become more innovative every day.

beginning.” 1. ________________ this, he kept trying and threw much of his money and time into these crazy ideas. 2. _________________ his efforts, he finally succeeded.
★They learn about anything and everything.
This philosophy shone through in Steve Jobs' revolutionary work. As biographer Walter Isaacson wrote: “He connected the humanities (人文學科) to the sciences, creativity to technology, arts to engineering.”
Jobs learned a lot of things. 3. __________________ fields directly related to his work, he followed passions and interests that might not make sense and dived into areas he knew nothing about.

Successful innovators know that they can't do it alone. They surround themselves with people who contribute revolutionary ideas. 4. __________________ such people, they can find solutions to problems more efficiently.
During her time at Google, Marissa Mayer shared, “We have this great internal list where people post new ideas and everyone can go on and see them. It's like a voting pool where you can say how good or bad you think an idea is. Those comments lead to new ideas.”

1. When did he become ill What was the result of his illness
At the age of 21.
His illness got worse, he lost his speech and lost the use of his hands.
2. What did he study What did he find
He studied the theoretical physics and cosmology.
He believed that the birth of the universe created many small black holes and his theory was there was a sort of hole in the centre of a black hole. This hole led to another universe, completely separate from our own.
3. What books did he write What did he argue in the books
A Brief History of Time (two versions), The Grand Design.
He argued that we should look for a different way to discover the deepest secrets of the universe. Instead of trying to find one big new explanation, scientists should put together all the ideas that they already have.
4. What is a black hole
A black hole is a place in space where gravity is very strong. Anything that falls into it never comes out. Noting can escape from it, not even light. As a result, it is impossible to see a black hole.

1. Hawking was famous for his excellent work in theoretical physics and research on ALS. ( )
2. Hawking was allowed to do research only rather than teach because of his young age. ( )
