Heart of a child?

I was watching the interview of two good friends on the "life show" from TW again. People being interviewed were famous pop star 陳昇 and famous writer 成英姝. In the interview they were talking about why traveling is imp for people. The writer said it's imp cuz you get to see diff. places, diff. people, diff. ways of living, and get to experience diff. cultures. The pop star (who also writes) said something that interested me more....He said...."Traveling is imp for creativities. If you live the same life every day, you get stoned easily. Your head stalls and your brain does not sparkle any more. When you are traveling....because of the distances and the change of environment, your thoughts and heart transforms into something diff....which....gives you good raw materials for what you write and create...."

I have to say this particular singer interests me a lot ever since I bumped into a book he wrote. He is really not a very good singer at all, and yet he survived in the industry for over 20 years now. I think he is really an artist who appreciates all sorts of art cuz among his friends there are writers, painters, comic writers, producers, etc. What attracts me from this pop singer is how he is willing to get in touch with all sorts of aspects in life. It just seems like he can enjoy everything that is around him and time becomes meaningless. His spontaneous way of living gives him a lot more inspirations and creativities. His ability to taste life while he goes to diff. places enlarges his territory in everything.

Not like he sings well or looks handsome really (It's probably the exact opposite to be honest)... It's just his attitude of exploring and enjoying life that seems cool to me. There just seems to be so much freedom....Maybe....it's just a heart that is more like a child....
