17.We admire great inventors,and you may have asked yourself,"Why didn't I think of that?"Well,luck is certainly part of it.But there may be ways to seriously increase your chances.
Perhaps the biggest problem with having a breakthrough idea is the way we think of breakthrough ideas-making them seem more attractive than they really are.As the Nobel prize winner Linus Pauling once put it,the way to get good ideas is to have a lot of ideas and throw the bad ones away."Begin a daily practice of listing 10 ideas,"advises the author and businessman Jame Altucher."Then throw the list in the bin:the point is to build the idea muscle,not to put feelings into any single idea."
Another thing to remember is that there's no such thing as a totally new idea."Every creative thing you've ever seen or idea you've ever heard can be broken down into smaller ideas that existed before,"writes Scott Berkun,an expert in this field."Great inventions happen when the right parts are already there,waiting to be combined.That's one reason for the phenomenon(現(xiàn)象) where more than one person came up with the idea for something creative,within a short time of each other.So think of any two successes at present and combine them."
"I believe that our planet is not only for animals and plants and bacteria and viruses,but also for ideas,"says the author Elizabeth Gilbert,in her new book,Big Magic.It's a slightly crazy way of making an excellent point that you will go further by becoming more open to ideas than by trying to invent them from the start.It's an exciting thought:the next Mark Zuckerberg's big idea is already out there,maybe in several pieces.You just have to find it,and then put them together.
