But now scientists are discovering how to design spaces that improve creativity, keep people focused(集中注意力的), and lead to relaxation.Researches show that the environment can influence(影响) creativity in 2009. Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a rooms ceiling(天花板) affects how people think. Her research shows that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections(抽象的联系). Low ceilings, on the other hand, may make a careful look.Besides ceiling height, the view(视野) afforded by a building may have an effect on a persons ability to focus.

Some of them enjoyed success; some of them experienced failure. All of them can teach you something. Role models (偶像) can enable(使能够) you to learn from experience you havent had yet, or may never have. Role models are people you can 51 , and people you can learn from. And youll find them everywhere, from the person 52 next to you at work to someone in your family. A role model is anyone who has anything to teach you on your journey to success. Youre trying to learn something about that persons gifts and talents. Traits (特点) that allowed 53 to be successful in the first place, try to put these traits into your own 54 . So you shouldnt be interested in people who have been successful because theyve been 55 , but those who have become successful because of their own achievements.
