Every Invention and breakthroughs in our world today is as a result of someone’s idea! Ideas are indeed the seedlings of Success. Midge Dector says “Ideas are powerful things, requiring not a studious contemplation but an action, even if it is only an inner action.”
Let’s take our time to go through the following; it will sure help us to appreciate the value of ideas.
The refrigerator we see today is the idea of John Standard and Baltzar Von Platen. If not for Fredrick Jones, our homes and offices are likely to still be poorly ventilated, his idea gave birth to the Air Conditioner, and Alice Parker’s idea led to the invention of the Heating Furnace. Gas Turbine is the idea of Aurel Stodola
How will the world be without electricity? Alessandro Volta’s Idea was one of the Ideas that gave birth to Electricity and Otto Balthy’s Idea gave the world the Transformer. It was Thomas Edison’s idea that gave birth to the Incandescent electric Bulb; it helps in the illumination of our houses and offices. Lewis Latimer and Michael Harvey are not left out because their ideas also brought The Electric Lamp and The Lantern respectively. The Automatic Cut off Switch was Granville T. Wood’s Idea.
How stressful and time consuming would it have been climbing staircases in a skyscraper? Alexander Mils idea made it possible for us to get to any floor in a skyscraper within record time, he invented the elevator. Maybe without his idea, there will be no city with skyscrapers.
Someone’s idea led to the invention of Cars, Infact it was Karl Benz’s Idea that gave birth to the petrol-powered Automobile. And I guess there would have been fewer cars if not for the idea of Richard Spikes who invented the Automatic Gearshift. With a lot of cars on the street orderliness became a problem but Garrett A. Morgan’s idea brought the Traffic Light Signals which brought orderliness on our streets and Charles Brook’s idea made it easy to keep the streets clean, he invented the Street Sweeper.
Orville and Wilbur Wright’s idea led to the invention of the aero plane. Helicopter was the idea of Igor Sikorsky and Arthur M. Young. Joseph Gambol’s idea brought The Super Charge System for Internal Combustion Engines. Graham Bells idea made communication to be easy, his idea led to the invention of the Telephone. Submarine and Trains are all people’s idea. The radio that we listen to today is the idea of Edwin H Armstrong and Guglielmo Marconi. Philo Farnsworth and John Logie Baird ideas gave birth to the Television set.
What about the book that you are reading? If not for the idea of W.A Love it would have been difficult printing books, his idea led to the invention of the Advance Printing Press and Lee Barrage idea brought the Type writing Machine. Williams Purveys’s idea brought the Fountain Pen.
Clothes, Shoes, Belt, Caps are all people’s ideas. George T. Samon and Sarah Boone’s idea made our laundry work easy; they invented the Clothes Dryer and Ironing Board respectively. The blue jean that we wear is the idea of Levi Strauss.
Our Educational System, Banking System, Democracy and all sporting games are the ideas of people. Someone’s idea gave birth to them. If not for someone’s idea trade by batter will still be in existence. You know how tedious it would have been transacting business.
No matter how weird the idea that is popping up in your mind might be…take time to nurse them, give it all the support that it needs, it might likely turnout to be one of the idea that will contribute to the advancement of the human race. Walt Elias Disney’s Advice is “Get a good idea and stay with it. Dog it, and work at it until it's done right.” And I add, if you are convinced that your idea can work, work on it until it works.
En-route success unlimited™, we know that;
“We get new ideas from God every hour of our day when we put our trust in Him -- but we have to follow that inspiration up with perspiration -- we have to work to prove our faith. Remember that the bee that hangs around the hive never gets any honey."
-Albert E. Cliffe
“Congealed thinking is the forerunner of failure... make sure you are always receptive to new ideas."
- George Crane
