I’ve never met a person who didn’t have a potential invention or untold story. It’s like sitting on a gold mine and choosing not to search for your treasure.
Even if you tell yourself you’ve never had one, think about all the things you consider, all the things you gripe about, or all the ways you could make any given situation better. That’s all there is to it.
I’m referring to those seeds. When you are waiting in line to buy something and you become impatient because the line isn’t moving quickly enough, ideas start to form in your head about how it ought to be done.
It’s frequently just a matter of self-confidence, optimism, work, courage, and determination that separates you from the person who submits an invention patent application or writes a story for publication.
The appliance cord once wouldn’t fit back into the tiny space set aside for it in my kitchen, I recall. I tried to get it in by pushing and prodding, using a toothpick, a screwdriver, and various other tools. It wouldn’t go in.
I thought about a device that was so straightforward that it was amazing no one had thought to market it as I stood there, frustrated with this extra cord.
I was quite young at the time, and I would never have thought to try to market or patent my idea. Years later, I came across my little creation in a catalog, and it was exactly as I had imagined.
People always tell me they could write a book about their lives whenever we connect. But regardless of their ages, none of these people had ever attempted it.
They aren’t preventing themselves from writing their life story or from patenting an invention, in my opinion, out of laziness. In my opinion, a number of factors, including, not thinking that their idea is good enough or not being brave enough to try it. It might be a fear of failure or of being mocked.
Nevertheless, I am positive that every single person has a book inside of them as well as an invention that takes up mental space. The challenge is to unlock that mental door and let its riches flow.
