💡My ideas and your thoughts

With enough bright minds, the problems we have in this continent are larger than what have we, with limited resources, there needs to be a construct on thinking the right way.

The phrase "Customer is always right" always beats my thoughts.. we need to be careful about society and what it throws at us.

The concept of thoughts and ideas have to be radically taught to fix things in my environment, so I would like to think.

A thought is something that just comes to mind. If you stop what you’re doing and just do nothing, it’s possible to just listen to your thoughts. Once you can hear yourself, you can resume what you’re doing and you’ll actually continue to hear yourself if you keep listening.

We usually stop listening when something takes over the microphone. For example, if we start talking, our thoughts start coming out of our mouths. And if we’re reading, it’s almost as if we’re feeding words into our mental mouths. Same with writing. We write as we think of what to write, and then those thoughts type themselves out through our fingers. We then edit them as we exchange feedback with ourselves, and hit send.

We can guide our thoughts and exchange information with them, and this becomes our inner dialog. Should I do this? We ask ourselves these things. A thought might say you shouldn’t. That’s us talking to ourselves, aka thinking.

It turns out, we hardly have any control over what we might think at any moment. Thoughts emerge on their own. With experience, some thoughts may become predictable, but if you’re an intellectual person you’re counting on those unpredictable thoughts. Those are the aha moments — our instincts and intuitions yield the insights we were waiting for. And if you have a brain, you’re an intellectual person.

Ideas are concepts. They can be thought of as a mental model that can be expressed with words. “Time is relative to the speed of light” is just as much an idea as “What about some ice cream?”

Thoughts produce ideas.

Ideas produce more thoughts.

So how do we think of ideas?

I was asked a question by a friend; Micheal, who said, 'What can a woman in her 50s do tech-wise which will fetch her money?'. My sincere reply was, I don't know. I have come to understand that ideas come from a series of thoughts, which can be traced back to an environment.

Most times I see people think about ideas and feel we are doing it all wrong. Trying to force our ideas on a target audience, When we could have formed that idea because of a target audience and for the same audience.

It’s not hard to come up with a great idea.

What’s hard is to develop the habits that enable you to come up with great ideas.

The extent to which you incorporate these habits into your life ultimately determines the quality of your ideas.

It’s not magic, it’s commitment.
