Ideas

Reading - is a good way
of stretching the imagination!

Ideas are the best natural resources which have made the most significant impact on humans.

It was an idea by Edison which lighted up the world. Bell made it possible for voices to be transmitted. A certain Steve at Apple created various fun gadgets which can fill a whole i-zone!.

The same goes to the makcik or pakcik who created Budu and cencalok, lempok and tempoyak! Their ideas added ummph to our food!

Ideas should be allowed to flow, and followed through with implementation. Failures shouldn't discourage, conviction is a great a source of motivation and persistence!

Unfortunately, too many ideas got killed too soon and by people who don't have ideas!

Be selective with whom you share your ideas! Don't let anyone pour cold water and distinguish the fire of your passion.

As an example, today, someone tried very hard to discourage me from publishing my book! I made a mistake of sharing my idea, and asking for his ideas on how best to do it!

On the contrary, Luqman, my ten year old son saw a half full glass. He was encouraging me to publish not black and white, but color pages with insertion of pictures from Haziq's amazing collection!

He has ideas!

Ideas should be encourage to flourish. Especially from children!

If not for ideas which have been pursued with single minded passions by some great men and women, we may still be living in caves today! Even then, men used sharpened stones and used them as spears to hunt! Ideas, indeed have been the most effective resources for the survival of mankind.

The most wonderful thing of all - ideas are free!
