Nothing can be built in the air. It is always a path from start to the final building of a successful idea or project. Even in nature nothing stays in its simple mode it always goes compounding.
When reaching a new idea always there are others that have came half the way. We are not at the beginning of the history and we cannot start developing from zero point. It doesn t matter how much sophisticated the idea or result is we always build our ways on the others. We remember the quotation of Isaac Newton `` in order to see further I have stood on the shoulders of the giants``
Borrowing ideas is the only key to succeed. Usage of the other ideas makes the process shorter and you do not have te take the steps that have already done and has been tested. You never reach the finish if you do so. There are 6 steps in borrowing an idea:
Define
Borrowing
Combining
Incubating
Judging
Enhancing
While using the existing stuff through the steps as the Einstein says: The secret of the being creative is knowing how to hide your sources. And of course you have to contribute to the others ideas you are building on your success because only borrowing can t be enough. There must be something of your own.
Creativity is not the result of divine intervention; it is something that can be learned and it is easily within reach.
YanıtlaSilI liked especially your last statement "And of course you have to contribute to the others ideas you are building on your success because only borrowing can t be enough. There must be something of your own." . I agree otherwise we cannot speak of innovation. We can just speak of improving solution to a problem.
YanıtlaSilI agree with what you have mentioned about borrowing ideas but I also think that some people can create breakthough ideas that noone has imagined before.
