" I have an idea !!!! " This short phrase that can speak volumes, it crosses our mind as a flash and eventually fall like a bellows cheese , because we do not trust it, because it says it already exists. But the most important thing is not to have an idea, to believe in it , to make it alive like Dr. Frankenstein has made his creature alive and for that there is only one word: Conceptualization
Tell dad how do you make ideas?
"So you see that bottle of milk? More seriously, to create an idea, it takes a strong love encounter between a desire (female gamete) and a need (male gamete). They will get to know each other, settle together around a unifying vision and a mutual sharing until the day! Understand their differences to be able to fill them. A need and a desire can live all their life together without giving birth to an idea. The idea is born of a perfect osmosis between a need and a desire.
The birth of an idea
Great Emotion today! Your desire and your need tell you that they are waiting for a happy event. His little name: Idea. Its weight: 70 ng (Nano Grams) approx. It's shocking, your life can change, you do not know how to do it, how to educate it how to grow it, how to give it importance in your life so tidy. So you ask for advice ... but the advice is given in relation to the ideas they raised, their vision of education of their ideas and not necessarily yours and you get discouraged. And yet it is only an embryo.

In the diagram above, you see the growth curve of your idea. When we announce you the good news, you are in joy but the doubt settles little by little, you ask yourself a lot of questions. Am I able to? You do not know how she will grow up and you ask for advice:
your loved ones , you continue to stagnate, you do not advance, their experience is not yours.
then you look at the websites , you read the books , you learn what is best, but your doubts are increasing because you see the task you have to do.
you only have the experts , the famous specialists who have done so much in their life, that they will necessarily have an idea of your idea. They will take your idea and analyze it and then bring out their resentment not yours.
Then there is the only real brake of the increase of an idea, the human spirit with the strength to motivate itself as to be demotivated and if you listen to everyone, you are sure that at the end you will tell yourself, it is not a good idea, and you have so many doubts that you are ready to give up everything.
My advice ? Let her be born! If you believe it yourself, you are able to go far. (To come out of the image that I give, do not put too much expense until you are 200% sure that it will work, otherwise you risk big)
All the filters you have just passed have their own needs and desires that seek to bring their ideas to life. Sometimes an idea descended by jealousy , by ignorance of the paternity of this idea. That's why when you present your idea, as when Rafiki introduced Simba, heal and frame the presentation, be sure that you hold the reindeer of your idea and what are your goals, that your idea can sprout quietly and grow in you without worries. You know where you are going and we can not question you on the merits but only on the form to make it evolve in better conditions .
Small idea will become big. To grasp an idea is an opportunity to create.
Do you know the concept of the ideosphere ? This word first appeared in 1979 in Richard Dawkins's book " The Selfish Gene ", which explains how ideas are created and developed in a parallel dimension (for our example, this is the place where we live). the storks). If we continue on this debate we enter the collective intelligence so to stay focused on ourselves. We will cover only a tiny part of the world of storks.
The ideosphere can explain a lot of things: like why 2 or more people can have the same idea at the same time. It's a way of rationalizing the imaginary, but the fact is there, you are never alone in having an idea.
Sorry, your idea does not really belong to you, but what you are going to do with it is the one-off, something that really belongs to you.
An idea becomes your idea.
When your idea becomes a concept
Conceptualization (here we are), the art of materializing an idea, to take shape, to give it an image, a physical representation. It is finally the most delicate moment for the life of an idea.
- Is my idea able to face the big world?
At this level several options are available to you:
Keep it for yourself : You do not believe it anymore, you do not have the time, you prefer to take no risk.
Make it grow: Give it life, cherish it, give it all the comfort it needs to become Concept and Autonomous
Give it to someone else : You do not feel you have to keep it, you can always give it to someone who can afford it better than you.
Difficult choice ? Not even in dreams.
If you have arrived there, it is because your idea is worth the cost of being lived and concretized (without ruining yourself of course)
Grow it
To help you here is a non-exhaustive list of ways to conceptualize an idea.
- If you start, do not back down unless you put your family and your health at risk.
- Take the time to write the learning steps: You must learn to know your idea before giving it a name and an ambition.
- Learn about the authorship of your idea, its origin.
- Do you buy a notebook and a pen (For ideas, I'm not digital, I think it does not have a soul, I like to see my concepts on paper)
- Do not forget who you are and what you do
- Make diagrams, the words do not formalize anything, they only explain.
- Do not talk about your idea until it is conceptualized. An idea does not belong to anyone.
- Avoid the destructors - favor the builders.
- The concept is both fascinating and torturing, your idea will be questioned by you constantly but you must go to the end without turning around or you will feel a lack all your life.
To conclude: I advise you to choose the ideas that you want to see born. Do not get lost in every quest of the concept. And do not forget. There are no good or bad ideas, there are only good or bad results
