What It Takes To Create a Good What It Takes To Create a Good InventionInvention

1. The new invention should bring comfort to human lives. It should make our life easy. It should bring value to the user and make him happy for using it.

It doesn’t count if you are happy. It only matter when the user are happy to use them.



2. It should not harm the environment. In fact it should make this world a better place for all, human, animal and plants. It should bring value to the environment we lived in.

The world is getting polluted by the day and it is our duty not to aggravate it further. In fact any new invention that will make this world a better place will be easily accepted by the people.



3. The new invention should have some inventive steps in it. To create a new product, you should use common sense.

And for some invention, using basic science and physics can be useful.


All Children are Born CreativeAll Children are Born Creative

When kids grow to become children at the age of 7 to 12 years, they too have a lot of imaginations. They continued to amaze me with their wild thoughts. And again none have complained to me that they can’t think of anything to create. None at all.

But in reality, when the kid grows up, he only uses less than 10% of what he has learned in school.

Most of the things a child use when he grow up is, common sense.

The rest of it are things which he will find out as he grows up or when necessary.

Because things change all

the time. That’s the reality.

All Children Are Born CreativeAll Children Are Born Creative

I strongly believe all kids are born with a potential mind to be creative.

Parents and teachers must recognize this and help them to develop to their full potentials.
