At first people refuse to believe that a
strange new thing can be done, then they begin to hope it can be done, then
they see it can be done - then it is done and all the world wonders why it was
not done centuries ago.
– Frances Hodgson Burnett
Even though the
world is filled with brilliant people that have valuable ideas, this quote is
the dilemma that every creative inventor faces. Perhaps this disbelief many
idea collect dust on the shelves.
When you have a
new idea, people try to convince you that it is impossible. They tell you that
you are wasting your time with nonsense. When they see your persistence and
start to understand the benefits of your idea, they begin to have hope.
When all the
pieces are almost together, they start to cheer you on. However, once it’s
done, they look at you as though any one could have done it years ago.
If you are
creative and have great ideas, never waste your time looking for agreement from
the masses. If you wait for their approval, you may put off your greatest ideas
indefinitely. Instead, take an unstoppable stand and implement knowing that
there will be problems along the way. Nevertheless, know that you have the
drive and ambition to work through them.
Good luck
geniuses!!!
