Lesson
From his story because I think that fix rule and fix frame is no good for us, I learned following important points: Curiosity comes first, Embrace the mess, and Practice reflection. There would be disturb good opinions and good ideas. Therefore, we have to think without frame. We should have a flexible mind like children.
I learned that flexibility is important for us.

My personal experience
When I was high school student, I was member of the student council’s accounts. We had to work for school at that time. It was really hard for us because quantity was a lot. One day, our leader said let’s do brain storming. I want your crazy and curios opinions.
We talked about what I wanted to do at student council. We shared with each enthusiasm of student council. For example, we stick Post-it on a wall, window, white board, refrigerator, PC, and so on. Since then, we held meeting every day. We discussed in unreasonably. Probably, students except student council member thoughts that we looked like fools. However, we could succeed almost to use this way. I thought that we needed curiosity as well as considering through having fun to prepare for the theme. This experience was really important for me
I think curiosity is one of the elements of motivation, and this motivation will make new idea.
