Psychologist Adam Grant claims that people with original ideas may look nothing like weexpected. Originals are people who stand out and speak up. They not only have new ideas but takeaction to champion them.
       Originals drive creativity and changes in the world.Originals are not normally associated with procrastinators. Procrastinating is a vice when itcomes to productivity, but it can be a virtue for creativity. According to research, people who waituntil the last minute to do a task are so busy goofing off that they rarely have new ideas, while peoplewho rush to do everything early tend to be too anxious that they don’t have original thoughts either.There seems to be a sweet spot where originals live – moderate procrastination is found to boostcreativity. Moderate procrastination allows more time to consider divergent ideas, to think innonlinear ways, and to make unexpected leaps.           Another misconception about originals is that they are always first-movers. Many originals arequick to start but slow to finish. To be original, you don’t have to be first； you just have to be differentand better. It’s much easier to improve other’s idea than it is to create something new from scratch.For example, Facebook waited to build a social network years after Myspace and Friendster.        On the surface, original people may appear confident, but actually they feel the same fear anddoubt that we do. They just manage it differently. Professor Grant thinks that there are two kinds ofdoubt: self-doubt and idea doubt. The former is paralyzing； it leads people to freeze, but the latteris energizing； it motivates people to test, to experiment, and to refine new ideas. Originals also havefear. They are afraid of failing, but they are even more afraid of failing to try. The greatest originalsare the ones who fail the most, because they try the most. Classical composers, Bach, Beethoven, andMozart, had to generate hundreds and hundreds of compositions before they could come up with amuch smaller number of masterpieces. Originals procrastinate, they feel fear and doubt, and they havebad ideas. Professor Grant concludes that the reason why originals succeed is not their disregard forthose qualities but because of them.
