Some of the greatest inventions in life have come about because\nsomeone saw a problem and decided they wanted to fix it! One doesn\u2019t\nnecessarily have to be a great genius to solve a problem, in fact, some of the\nmost amazing ideas come from people who simply want to find an easier way to do\nthings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We all have a bit of an inherent ability to solve problems\nwithin us \u2013 just think about it \u2013 how many times have we complained about\nsomething, stating \u201cI don\u2019t know why they just don\u2019t _____ instead?\u201d That\nis us thinking of a solution! The only problem is that if that is\nall we do, complain about it, then we just exacerbate the problem\nrather than fixing it. Whereas, if we would take it a step beyond our\ncomment and actually run with the fix, we might just have the next great\nsolution that the world could use! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or another example \u2013 we go to do the most routine task and we think to ourselves, \u201cI wonder why no has invented _____ product that would eliminate this task having to be done all together\u201d which we then immediately follow with the thought \u201cwell, it must not be possible or it must be a bad idea because if it was a truly great idea then someone much smarter than me would have already invented it\u201d, only to then put it out of our minds. Whereas, if we would stop thinking that our ideas are not good enough and stop discounting our ability to have a stroke of genius, perhaps we would create the next great invention hat the world could use! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Funny thing is that if we would take the words\nof someone the world views as one of the greatest geniuses of all time, he\nwould tell us that he was no more genius than the average person \u2013 he was\nsimply curious enough to dig into problems and driven enough to do something to\ntry and solve them. See Albert Einstein\u2019s own words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am not more gifted than the average human being. If you know\nanything about history, you would know that is so\u2014what hard times I had in\nstudying and the fact that I do not a have a memory like some other people do.\nI am just more curious than the average person and I will not give up on a\nproblem until I have found the proper solution. This is one of my greatest\nsatisfactions in life\u2014solving problems\u2014and the harder they are, the more\nsatisfaction do I get out of them. Now if you understand what I have just told\nyou, you see that it is not a matter of being more gifted but a matter of being\nmore curious and maybe more patient until you solve a problem.\u201d ~ Albert\nEinstein<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All of us have brilliant minds if we just have the passion to study the problem out, let our ideas flow, don\u2019t discount that your idea might actually be genius (even if it seems obvious and simple!), be willing to take the time to validate your idea as a solution to the problem, and then work your guts out to make your solution a reality! That is how amazing things come about in this world – Ordinary people put extraordinary effort into solving problems that make this world a better place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
