CHAPTER 54
ONE MORE GREAT IDEA
Do you remember that time when you sat in that class and a teacher or professor asked you a challenging question? Your classmates tried to supply their own version of the answer and the teacher or professor claimed he was looking for something, perhaps a keyword that none of you had supplied and he beckoned on you to think more for that last idea. If some person manage to get it, the teacher would shout bravo.
In life too, there is also a need for that last idea that will count. You might have tried your hands on one or two ideas that you hope to have given you the kind of result you anticipated. Maybe, you have being pushing on this very difficult task and you have tried all you can about it and you seem lost amidst the cloud of many ideas that you conceived in the process of getting the task done. Well, there is one more correct idea you haven’t made.
Life is a conjunction of ideas. These ideas are what mould our everyday actions. Idea like everything in life is relative. There could be good ideas, great ideas, splendid ideas, awful ideas, massive ideas, bad ideas or supernatural ideas. Whatever quality of idea, it is idea anyway.
It isn’t every idea that works. Often, it takes the collaboration of many ideas to see the fruition of an action. Some will have to fail, some may offer some help, and some will just be there as an option, but one will stand out. Often that standout idea doesn’t come so easy. It takes brain storming, and an increased number of failed ideas.
Many times, we quiver at a task because we think we have stretched our idea level to its limit. Our thought often is that we cannot because we have tried all that we think we have capacity to. This isn’t always the truth though. Our brain has huge capacity to think beyond every bar that stands before us. Fact is, we are resourceful enough beyond our normal mental capacity to think extraordinary to that uncommon idea that can and will make all the difference that we want. That idea though will be tested for its efficacy amidst a pool of other ideas and it will stick its head ahead proved and time tested.
Maybe you are lost at what to do to make ends meet. You might have tried your hands on many jobs that had failed to give you that expected breakthrough; well you are one more great idea to a open door. People often give up when indeed they should press on.
You can never be short of ideas; you are only short of thinking. You refused to think more. Ideas are always available everywhere and anytime. That idea to your limelight may be just under that mango tree if only you would think a bit. Newton’s celebrated gravity seemed a mere idea but it arrived from under an orange tree.
Many serious achievements were a result of a one more great idea. Popular soft drinks 7 up, Coca-Cola, and Pepsi have remarkable ideational stories around them. Their inventors never got it right the first time. They might have got the major idea, the development of soft drinks, but they fell short of the ingredients of their drink every time they tried until finally they could shout eureka like 7up the seventh time when the right idea arrived.
What’s that challenge that has refused to find solution however hard you try, it just needs the next great idea. Are you searching for job? One more great idea. Do you need a wife? One more great idea. Are you hunting for admission? One more great idea. Are you having a troubling child? Just one more idea. Whatever it is, you think you have done all you should do, you are just one more great idea to a major breakthrough.
You can’t afford to stop at working towards the accomplishment of that dream or picture you are seeing. Try idea after idea. Tweak your brain as much as you can, think as fast as you can. That big dream or picture will find the next big idea for its accomplishment. Just try one more time.
