Ideas – They sat on the floor chatting with each other. The family was happy with the son’s performance.

The mother remembered that time when there used to be innumerable hot arguments between the father and the son. At that instant, the father contented with the son’s achievement looked up at the son and said, “When I was your age, I was asked to not make things up, as that would result in something nobody would want. And today, you don’t just get paid for it, but you also earn in lakhs.”

Ever since the evolution of mankind, ideas have been a very important part of human brain. Everything that is with you, in front of you, for you and by you is the result of an idea that clicked somebody’s brain at some point of time. We see why ideas are the most precious and expensive thing on earth. Read on!

1. Because your ideas are your wings

Your ideas are a reflection of the way your brain functions. They are tangible, can be tossed around in new combinations, are colourful and can get attached to your dreams to make you fly high. Your ideas are more like a splendid bird that can articulate patterns emerging even in the time of distress or chaos.

2. Because your ideas are a representation of your knowledge

You learn and you think. An idea clicks your mind only when you think, which happens because of your knowledge depth. If your idea is accepted by a number of people out there and appreciated in terms of money, matter and quantity, it is your knowledge which is being talked about. For example, who knew that a social networking website, invented by just another software engineer, would grow so big and important in time, that it would be one of the major medium of social awareness and sharing your opinion.

3. Because your ideas are your means of showing creativity

Whichever sector are you employed in today, your get paid because of your ideas. Your ideas are a derivative of your knowledge and your creativity. Be it education sector, corporate, media, construction, engineering, medical or any other employment sector known to mankind, all you are recognized and paid for is your ideas. Ever wondered why and how did the ‘dabba waala’ business start? Brilliant culinary skills and idea together formed that thing you’re probably thankful for today.

4. Ideas are the guide to future

Idea make the world, as they are the guide to future practice. When mobilised, they become the templates of thought and practice. When you plan to meet a long term friend of yours and you can’t really think of a good place, what is the only back up in your mind? A lot can definitely happen over coffee. You can even rack your brains back and forth to think about other things. Did you know that your favourite coffee place believes in an idea for another idea.

You pool them or bind them or keep them solely yours, it is ultimately those ideas that has brought you where you are and where the world is at present. So rather than preserving them, let them flow and maybe you’ll be considered as a reason for change.

It has happened with me, you and every single person who’s walked this earth. You are in the shower, rubbing soap on your toes, when– click– an idea pops into your head all of a sudden.

The idea could be related to anything you had been thinking about. Some tiff at work, your phase of relationship or how old exactly is your favourite actor. Seems as if those lightning struck ideas are locked inside a bottle of Irish scented soap, does it not? Well, maybe it is.

Scientific research shows that it’s more likely to have a creative insight when we are doing something monotonous, like showering, fishing or exercising. When you’re at work or rather your mind is at work, you are a pinch close minded. Thinking hard or focussing on a particular thing deactivates your default network of the brain and boosts that part of it which helps you concentrate only on a certain thing. On the contrary, you come up with strong and creative ideas when your adversely conscious part of mind is resting and the other is functioning.

History has it. All those Eureka moments, right from Archimedes to Newton to Einstein, are said to have clicked while not working on anything. Those empty minds made the great discoveries known to mankind. That makes me believe in the power of a wandering mind. Don’t you think? Taking a break from the regular routine is not enough to get inspired. Rather, creativity is harboured when you allow the mind to wander.

In the past ten years, I have asked a number of people about where and when do they get their best ideas. More than half of them tried capturing me in a discussion with big, out of the mind answers like, on a trip to Paris or that expression which says “I can’t really tell you that’, as if my world would get destroyed if he wasn’t doing all the thinking. Yet, the answer I received from more than fifty percent of them fascinated me the most- “in the shower” they said. (My fascination could also have something to do with my experience).

Here are a few reasons, they say, brings those ideas to your mind when you are in the shower. Take a look.

• Showering is a sign of a new beginning.
• You are alone and without interruption, which means you have all the time to think.
• The rhythm of water could have something to do with it.
• It wipes the stress and dirt off your body. Hence, makes you innovative. (I am a strong believer in that too!)
• You don’t have contradictory answers or judgements. You can be on both the sides of debate.
• A hot shower opens up your pores. Maybe, they alert you as well.
• Your shampooing, gives your brain a good massage (Another of my favourite reasons)
• No Whatsapp, Facebook, Twitter or any technology related thing even close to the shower.
• Water flows and so does your thoughts. That keeps your thoughts flowing

And last but the best…

• Because your showering section of the washroom has always been like a little incubation chamber to you.

I can’t really figure out which of these reasons couldn’t be true.

Let us know if you have ever come across the best idea while showering.

I, in the meanwhile will set a reminder to always, keep a notepad in my washroom.

If you’re reading this, then I’m sure you’ve heard of Bill Gates and the phenomena that he is.

One of the pioneers of tech-era and still ruling the world of richest men, he needs no introduction!

Obviously, he is the role model for so many youngsters who want to live a success-story like his. However, just looking at his riches wouldn’t be the right benchmark to understand his success. It goes deeper than that and one needs to imbibe certain traits of his to be really a Bill Gates!

Let me share with you some basics that you either need to have or you got to acquire, learn or adapt to even come closer to the success that Bill Gates is.

1) Idea

When Bill Gates started his career, the world was evolving at a very slow pace, technological advancements were not happening on a daily basis and even he didn’t visualise the enormous success when he started. All he had was an idea of something that might work and fulfil the needs of people. Nowadays, the world is changing really fast and solutions for yet to be found problems are coming out on a daily basis. With this background, you got to observe life around you closely, see what is it that people really need and are not getting from anywhere and how you can help them get it at an affordable cost! The idea, the vision has to come from you and then it all falls in place if you’re able to communicate that idea to the right kind of people.
