Trying to be creative and think outside of the box won’t always go in your favor.
Research shows you’ll need it.
Truly creative ideas take a very long time to be accepted.

The better the idea, the longer it might take.
Even the work of Nobel Prize winners was commonly rejected by their peers for an extended period of time.
Most people agree that what distinguishes those who become famously creative is their resilience.
The key is to keep pushing forward.
For creativity and innovation to flourish, persistence is completely necessary.
