Most things we know we learned them from someone else this includes via books, music, conversation, others comes through revelations and thinking our thought through.
We usually heard that there is no new thing under the sun. Some stuff we clain credit for it may be new to us but it is not new.
l believe ideas come from God almighty who made the heaven and earth. The creation of the universe was his idea in the first place and because human are his creation he created us with the ability to birth ideas
Thomas edison one of the Greatest creative genius of this world has this to say about ideas`l absorb ideas wherever l can and put them to practical use then l improve them until they become of some value. my ideas are mostly the ideas of others people who didnot develop them themselves.God want us to develop our ideas because when he gave us it to us he knew those ideas can bring out life.
For us to be able to develop our ideas and utilize them for greater results this facts need to be learn.
1,stayed open
2,Hungry for knowledge
3, Teachable.
Stayed open. This mean you are ready to learn both old and new thing alike and get the right information. You must be willing to relax and ready for new information, avenve and more facts.
Just because you knew it before does not mean you cannot be open to new views. Closing door to ideas and people who have new idea or view mean you are guilty of openness of avaliabilty to new information. Pride something make us think we know it all. There is no crime staying open for new idea but caution have to be put in place and aviod unnessary and negative facts whose can damage our sound minds.
Hungry for Knowledge. knowledge is gaining an insight to an issue or event. knowledge only come through neccessary and adequate searching for information. Knowledge is very vital for understanding and wisdom. Without proper knowledge about a subject mistake are bound to be make. knowledge is neccessary to ideas. When the ideas come or surface the ability to make or hungry for more knowledge open you to more success which will seperate you from others and will eventually bring success. In the story of Thomas edison, we can see that he study ideas and develop them this seperate him from others who might have the same idea before him.
The ability to study and develop knowledge bought him success in his creation of electricity.Hungry for knowledge is a neccessary and vital part in develop idea into success.Ideas develop gives us knowledge.
Teachable. To succeed in your idea you must be teachable. Teachable is the ability to be able to learn new thing and old things alike. You must be prepare to learn from unpalatable source. You must be able to have a humble spirit to learn,you need to respect the source of the information. pride bring ego and ego bring complacement which prevent you from learning.
To know whether you are teachable you need to ask yourself this questions.(The word of today, December 5, 2008)
a, am l open to other peoples thought and ideas
b, do l listen more than l talk
c, am l willing to change my opinion based on new information
d, do l readily admit when l am wrong
e, do l think and observe before acting on a situation
f, do l ask questions
g, am l willing to ask a question that will expose my ignorance and limitation
h, am l open to doing things in a way l haven`t done them before

This are question you need to sincerely answer if you want to know if your idea can transform you to success. The reward for success should make us kill any ego and pride and stride for success. The Bible says the way of a fool seems right to him but a wise man listens to advive.(C)
