Rule # 4
Be imaginative.
The toughest part, being imaginative. I've got a small kids play area in our apartment complex. It is the best place to just sit and watch the forth coming generation of our country. I love kids. Of course, who isn't? I love them like I love a meticulously made tattoo in some one's hand. Both look good as long as they are in others hand. If you happen to be a parent for three kids, no offense mate. Believe me.
Jokes apart. There is this interesting thing about kids. A three years old will be 100 times more imaginative than you at any given time [I'm assuming that three year kids doesn't read a blog]. I can bet you my entire life's earning on that. Just give them a car and a super man toy, in no time they will show you a full length feature film. Oh boy, they are really imaginative. The kind of questions they ask, the stories they tell, excellent.
Oh, I remember, I were a kid once upon a time and I'm no more a kid. Not only that, I'm no more imaginative. Hmmm, well, now-a-days I do imagine, but most of the times its about my girl and a luxurious life. If you're not like me, then this is not for you. Skip this and jump to the next rule.
If you're reading this, I really understand the emotional turmoil you're going through now. Yes, we all were a kid, once upon time. But, we lost our purity and innocence during our journey to become a man or woman.We understand the limitations very well now, we're clear about the boundaries, we think that we know what we can do, and we're all well accustomed to the phrase - "that's not my cup of coffee, dear". OMG, give it a break. Don't curb your imagination straight away by analyzing the feasibility or its application.
If its not feasible to achieve your ideas today, there might be a new way tomorrow. If you cannot apply your idea in any of the known streams today, there is a possibility that you might create a new stream. Be passionate and do not let the child inside to face a slow, painful death.
Rule # 5
Ready to face criticism.
Critics are as important as innovators and criticism is as important as idea generation. Without these critics, it will be really difficult to find the limitations and disadvantages of our own idea. I'm telling you, world needs them, a lot of them. But, only those who do constructive criticism. Constructive criticism will help someone to fine tune his idea and criticism, just for the sake of it is a venom. The world is full of people who think themselves as the savior of the world and will try their best to devastate you by their questions. Be informed and ready to tackle them. Never allow these rodents to destroy your brain child. After all, they try to protect themselves by destroying you.
Don't let them get you, at the same time be open minded to accept constructive criticism and improve your idea.
Rule # 6
Open up yourself for suggestions.
Don't let your knowledge to shut down your access doors with the outside world. Your link with others is a very thin thread and it is very easy to break it. The worst part is, it happens without your knowledge. If somebody gives you some information, analyze it, take the essence of it. Be polite and helpful to the needy. Always try to be accessible for others. Spend time with people, socialize, make friends and get a life for yourself. After all, we get to live only once.
There is only one more rule left and we're gonna see that tomorrow. Thanks.
