Just Imagine

Imagination is the best friend or it may be the worst enemy for a human being considering different situation. What would be the fate of the world if our ancestor would fail in discovering fire. If Imagination fails to build up in our mind we are useless then. But the question is how to think correctly and what to think? It's obvious that there is a vast difference between thinking and creative thinking(thinking differently).But  Thinking differently doesn't mean that you just have to oppose everything about what other says to you. For some illogical reason,science,engineering,art, and writing got tabbed as about the only truly creative pursuits. Thinking differently is not always making a discovery like radio,television or computer. It's true that these invention are the by product of creative thinking. Well these are not the child of one creative thinking, it's rather a chain of independent rational thinking worked together to generate better results.Each forward step made in the conquest of space is the result of creative thinking,lots of it.Creative thinking isn't restricted to only great people making great discovery.Anything thats new to someone's life is a creative thinking.

When i was in my 11th standard, i came across a person who had a small tiffin stall.We used to eat there every morning and evening. In few days we came to know about his life story. His village was in a drought suffering region. It was a dream to get a meal once in three days, still they learned to survive in that area. One day that man came to bhubaneswar just to get a better meal, better clothing and a place to hide his head. He came to bhubaneswar in 2001 and got a work in a small shop. In one year he has some money sufficient for enjoying his life to the fullest for 2 fortnights. But he bought a stove(it was a kerosene stove), some utensils and a table.He started his own shop with little money but great ideas. In just one year he enlarged his shop to a wooden cabin,Before that he used to sleep in the footpath just to save his money for a big shop. I came across that person in 2003. At that time it was a wooden cabin and a boy, for helping him. His preparation of food are outstanding. We watched him growing his shop more and more as days passed by. He always used to tell about adding a secret ingredient in his dishes, but that secret ingredient was always a secret ingredient. After our 12th we have to leave for other options, some opted for medical, some general study and some engineering. We forgot that man in the course of time. As far as i remember he had a well-established stall sufficient for his livelihood along with his luxury(though he was restless day and night). Few days ago, i met that person in a dramatic way. I have to get a new passport for my new job and i didn't have any time,so i had applied for tatkal scheme(which requires a verification certificate from a sub-divisional magistrate) and it was late after doing all the works.Me and my brother went to bite some food in a restaurant. i shouldn't make this more dramatic.The owner of that restaurant was that man from which we used eat breakfast.He recognized me in no time.When i asked him about his success he was too modest to accept his hard work. Story was like that 5 years of saving and a loan from a bank(with the help of officer who used to eat in his stall) made that small stall into a renowned restaurant.Many people will say his luck helped him a lot. But it was his big thinking which made him rich.

well enough to that story. Creative thinking is simply finding new,improved ways to do anything.The rewards of all types of success in work places,in academics provides fuel on finding ways to do things better.But we should work on these things to do better.

May be the child step for creative thinking is believing in yourselves.To do something we must believe that it can be done.Believing something can be done sets the mind in motion to find a way to do it. I liked a phrase from a friend's blog ---"If Newton hadn’t questioned the fact of ‘why do apples fall”, would you be studying about ‘Gravity’ in ‘Physics’? You know, everyone said that apples fell…but Newton was to say why.he should just eat apples and keep the doctor away" Well that's not the case for every human and every human being can't think in that way but still in a different way than others.I never liked politician in my life but Atal Bihari Bajpayee was my favourite politician. He paved a better way in foreign policy for our country. Who knows we would be a better friend to many countries he showed us what should be done in the welfare of our country in a short span of time... i'm not talking about politics but to think better than anyone else.Many people will oppose to the fact that we should eliminate jails.But it would be a better thinking just supporting it.  

When you beginning to believe in yourselves your mind will finds ways to do it. When you believe something is impossible,your mind goes to work for you to prove why. But,when you believe, really believe, something can be done,your mind goes to work for you to find the ways to do it.Believing in something can be done paves the way for creative ideas.Believing something can't be done is a bewildering thinking.This is being applied to any situation may be big or small,it doesn't matter.In a simple word just believe in yourselves. You can find a way  if you beginning to believe. What if Columbus wouldn't have faith in himself. there are many if will arise if we cease to believe in yourselves. The list is endless but it's pretty obvious that we will continue to do the same in near future.


Belief releases creative powers. Disbelief puts the brakes on. Believe, and you'll start thinking constructively. Young minds are open always, we tends to learn each and everything what comes in our way. We need to make our mind as a worm hole.it will suck everything as a black hole and will release everything as a white hole. A famous English proverb is there where there's a will, there is a way. Believing is the most important thing in our life. But Does believing in yourselves will eliminate all the problems ? In reality we don't know how to believe in yourselves. Then we should do certain things to let the belief enter into our mind. Eliminating the word impossible from our dictionary will do a significant job. "It's impossible" a dangerous word that will destroy all of your creative thinking. It will shut up your mind from the rest of the world. Think something always special and happy moments that happens to you in your life time. Many people complains about a lot. If something happens odd to  them then they say it's the worst thing that can happen to anybody. why can't you just think about the best thing happened to you. Just think about your friend,parents and your love. Let the positive things flow into your mind. Many of us whip and defeat our desires simply because we concentrate on why cam't when the only things worthy of our mental concentration is why we can. 


Just forget that what will be the opinions of others if you will bring something new. Whether those ideas  sounds practical or not, it means to you. Some people will laugh and some people will believe, but the matter is how much faith you have in yourselves. Some people relies on traditional thinking they are afraid of new things,they feel insecure about certain things. Many parents wish that their children should get a job which has a security. They afraid of new things. But unknowingly they hinders their children's progress. Be progressive but not regressive. It doesn't mean that we will seat calmly if we managed to do certain new things. We have to think in a broad way to improve those things we have done till now. There is always endless room for our improvement. Perfection will be best word for it.



That will be enough for now...

  2. Each and every line holds a great meaning! I was disturbed about how to cope up with some difficulties, but this post encouraged me a lot...
    Especially the tale about the person who succeeded in building his restaurant. If that person can do wonders, what is the problem with well educated people like us! :)
    Keep writing like this! This one boosted my confidence.
