One idea

“Nothing is more dangerous than an idea, when you only have one idea” (Alain).

An idea evolves when we think about a particular aspect, thoughts develop into an idea that when put to action can be the answer to the situation we are facing. I think there are different types of ideas: average ideas, ineffective ideas, out of the box ideas etc., it depends on the person and the situation. There are two sides to the statement made by Alain, firstly it could be dangerous to have one idea because if something goes wrong there is no back up plan. The other side to the coin is that your one idea can be so brilliant that it leaves dangerous effects because it makes such an impact. I like to think of ideas in this way.

People limit themselves in the way they think but there comes a point where we have to do things out of the norm, go above people’s expectations and dream ideas that we may see as impossible. We are taught ways to do things but we were never intended to be average so why have we stopped having dangerous out of the box ideas that gets people talking.

One idea can birth a series of new ideas that could change the inevitable by doing it in a manner that has never been seen before. Many of us have ideas but when we think them through we discard them because we believe we are not able to make them happen or we are afraid people won’t accept the idea. What we forget is that its our own idea, that no other person has thought of it and it may just be that dangerous one that changes everything. You may have just one idea, but even one can make a world of a difference.
