Every Thing Begins With An Idea.
An idea is delicate. It can be killed by a sneer or a yawn. it can be stabbed to death by a quip and worried to death by a frown on the right person’s brow. If I don’t express original ideas or listen to my being, I will betray myself.
It originates from a pregnant mind, just as a baby emerges from the belly of his mother. What makes a mind fertile is the freedom to venture without the confines of traditional thinking or the burden of practical concerns.
It is an expression of thought through words. When I speak to you, I am transferring my thoughts away from my mind through the vehicle of my voice. I am transmitting my thoughts to you. Knowledge is the transfer of ideas through speaking, listening, and reading.
It often originates from dialogues in which I hear about a challenge and recognise a new path for solving it. It is, therefore, crucial to create a space in which challenges are discussed openly and without fear, stimulating new solutions.
Everything I see began as an idea: the credit card, the internet, the computer, Antibiotics, the Airplane, and the company I keep. Even the Universe, some say, began as an idea in the mind of the Creator.
Imagine how amazing an idea could be if it had the space to grow, and I had time to explore its opportunities and could demonstrate how this idea could add more value to the world.
The recipe starts with creating a culture that encourages informal questioning and inquiry, tolerates mistakes, and promotes innovation. But even fertile soil cannot guarantee blossoming vegetation without seeds.
It is a rough mental impression. It could be a thought, suggestion, opinion, belief, or intention. The power and value of ideas lie in my ability to capture, grow and bring them to life. A great idea without execution has no value. But a decent one with good execution is most likely going to generate some profit.
Ideas are like slippery fish. They seem to have a peculiar knack for getting away from me. Because of this, I always have a pad and a pen handy. When I get an idea, I write it down. I know that many people have found their whole lives changed by a single great thought. By capturing ideas immediately, I don’t risk forgetting them.
It is not necessarily good because it is old, or necessarily bad. After all, it is new, but if an old idea works, then the weight of the evidence is all in its favour. Ideas are of themselves extraordinarily valuable, but an idea is just an idea. Almost anyone can think up an idea. The thing that counts is developing it into a practical product.
Buried in the cemetery of my mind are the treasures of untapped Ideas. There lies companies that never started, inventions that were never made, books that were never written, dance routines that were never created, and masterpieces that were never painted.
My mind is the delivery room for the birth of new ideas and a place where history comes to life. It is a place where I can reflect on who I am. Whom do I want to be? What do I value? What do I desire? How much I know and how much more I need to learn.
Active reading is the process that enables lifelong ideas. Books enable me to have a glimpse into ideas on cultures, traditions, history, psychology, and several other aspects of life. I get an amazing amount of ideas about life from reading.
