To Have A Good Idea

"To have a great idea, have a lot of them." - Thomas A. Edison

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." Mathew 7:7

If you are not a natural seeker, you may have some difficulties with this concept. A natural "seeker" puts everything he sees through a filter. A solution filter if you will. All the life's experiences should be smooth and perfect or so the mind of a "seeker" thinks.

When you are on the playground with your kids, you see the playground as a platform for something better. When watching TV, it is a platform for new ideas. Use it. Find the problem in the existing product, think how it can be solved.

You will have hundreds of silly and impossible ideas but then that one time your idea will actually start making sense.

You could also start with an impossible idea and figure out a way to make it possible.

It is all in your head, just start using it. Put it to work.

But remember, once you start, sometimes it is hard to stop. You will sometimes loose sleep from thinking about a solution to a problem.

Good luck to you all. Wishing you the next greatest idea.
