An idea can change your life

Ideas are free; they're like strands of sperm lying idle in the scrotum of a man, absolutely inane until and unless they find a chance to unite with an ovule to chart out a subtle transformation into an embryo inside the womb of a woman, who in all probability promises to take every precaution to protect the fetus till it grows into a full-fledged baby, ready to be delivered in due course. The anecdote, on the surface, may sound bit queer and weird, but the fact remains every idea that gets germinated in the vacuum of somebody's mental space is even more trivial than the existence of a strand of sperm.

Any average literate person can suggest thousands of ideas, which many would find seriously exciting and of extreme significance with reference to their applicability in human society; nonetheless, if someone asks them whether they can realize the intended benefits at large, probably the respond would be unequivocally imbecilic. Why do then people anxiously accentuate on the formation or garnering of ideas, even quite sporadically, by harping on a false notion of changing this world for once and all? Aren't we really becoming too itching about an uncertainty that has a rare chance of occurrence with its projected impact until all the preconditions somehow converge or made to work in tandem as per the plan? Or are we seriously dwelling on a phenomenon that certainly has overreaching consequence?

Well, let's stick to the principle that any and every great idea can transform this world to even a much better place to live in, but the moot question here is whether that idea can be hatched by itself to deliver the desired benefits? Never. It certainly needs scores of other factors – time, effort, and money - which contribute to the incubation of a raw idea. Eventually when all preconditions are met, an idea converts to an exciting piece of product, which can provide profound benefits to the person who owns it.

So what it boils down to the fact that ideas are certainly exciting so long as there is somebody to metamorphose them into great products with continuous support, and for that someone needs the desired skill, scale, discipline, and devotion. That's why the top global institutes like MIT, Bell Labs, and NASA are not just idea givers, rather they are, to the core, staunch idea incubators, which in all possibility, have the desired caliber, capability and scale to transform an idea into a world-class technology. And they are doing it as well. Unfailingly.

Before winding up let me cite here one interesting example on how a weird idea for a nondescript technology start-up becomes a matter of exciting technological innovation for one of the best technology companies in which they could able to foresee the future of virtual teleportation. For that the company even didn't hesitate to invest to the tune of Rs. 1000 millions. Well, by now it's quite clear what it makes to hatch an idea that can change your life. Nevertheless, not just an idea alone can!
