Ideas are basically impressions on our minds.No two persons can have exactly the same ideas and that surely 'makes the difference'. They are the ability to create a picture,design and construct.The earth was empty and in total darkness but God had an idea.He saw order and beauty,animals,mountains,rivers,plants.He saw Man.If only you can conceive it in your mind,believe it in your heart,you are sure to receive it.Lying within the range of your mind is a great destiny.
Ideas are more powerful than we may understand.Its a way around virtually everything because everything you can think of today started with an idea.
Once upon a time,the need to brush our teeth arose and William Edward Addis invented the toothbrush, Mafoku Ando was probably hungry and couldn't wait to prepare a wholesome meal,he thought it wise to make Instant noodles,Harry Coover thought & invented the super glue,Elias Howe found the need to professionally put pieces of materials together and he invented the sewing machine, Ignacy Łukasiewicz invented the modern kerosene lamp,Charles Grigg also came up with the formula for a lemon-lime soft drink called 7UP and so on,to mention but a few.These are not to say that all ideas should be channeled towards production of goods,they could also be services.
Here is a popular story i love to share because i draw so much inspiration from it and it portrays the power of ideas. Many years ago,in a town in the United States of America,a doctor climbed his horse and rode to a chemist's shop.He went in through the back door.He carried in his hand an old fashioned kettle and a wooden paddle.He brought these items to the shop clerk with a sheet of paper on which was written the formula for a drink.Both of them began to bargain and eventually the clerk gave the doctor five hundred dollars for the items he had come to sell.What the doctor sold to the clerk was worth five hundred dollars whereas what the clerk bought from the doctor was a fortune.
To the surprise of the clerk,the content of the kettle which has since become a household name in the world,began to pour forth gold.The clerk added one Important thing to the items he bought,an IDEA.Today,the content of that kettle is the highest consumer of sugar in the world.It is sustaining sugar plantations,their workers and families around the world.It is also one of the worlds greatest consumer of glass and has turned the fortune of many men around the world.The name of the drink is Coca-cola and Asa Candler is the name of the clerk.
What 'made the difference' between the doctor and clerk was one idea.The doctor never realized that while he was going everywhere with the kettle,paddle and formula,billions of ideas where lying in his hands.Just because he couldn't find the idea,he couldn't make the billions of dollars.When you understand this simple foundation,you lay hold on a principle to making millions.Ideas are more powerful than the brains that produce them because they usually outlive those brains.It is only in Africa,you'll see a 40 year old poor man coming home to his parents to ask what's for dinner.A poor man is he who is without ideas.Your future is sleeping inside your ideas.
