If you have an idea, spread it.

It was once when I was deeply obsessed with http://www.howstuffworks.com. Why? Simply because it's addictive. Once you start reading one article on this site you will forget your lunch, your dinner, your sleep. Because it's just like a sea and the deeper you dig the deeper it feels. Mind you that you will be too tempted to dig, anytime. Though used regularly in a disciplined manner can help you eat on time and can also enlighten you 'bout the minutest details of so many things. It's one of the best resources on the internet today.

And now is the time when I again feel obsessed. This time it's http://www.ted.com. Why? The answer is the same. It's addictive too.

I watched one TED video link forwarded to me today. And in just one hour from then I had watched almost 6-7 more. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It's a site which brings together the next Einsteins, the next Newtons, the next Hawkings, the next Gates, the next Berners-Lees and many more. They are people who are normal like you and like me but have given 'time & thought' to their 'thoughts & ideas'. You see the results.


Once you start watching few of these people talking 'bout their ideas you may, yes you will, start feeling inferior and will immediately ask yourself..."what have I done something unique in my life?". But believe me, It's ok to ask so because not everyone can be a Marconi or an Edison.

Albeit if you can start accumulating your ideas in smallest ways on a regular basis & give a lil of your effort on it, not to achieve something greatest but to explore it deeper. I am sure you will be amazed by your own thoughts, your own creativity, your own ideas. Few people are blessed with higher IQ levels by birth, such as Einstein with around 160 and few have even higher than him but unexplored, unknown. What needs to be done is to feel it, to explore it. So go ahead, explore your ideas. You will jump in joy by announcing, "It's a new idea!"

People close to me know that my blogs & my talks are all full of links/websites/google. There are numerous occasions when I answer as "Just Google it". Simply because I do the same too. May be because I spend huge amount of time on internet. And in a great way depend on it too. For a fact, in last 4-5 years I have spent almost half of my life on internet. Not because its a part of my job but also because I am addicted to net. Yes, you can call me Net Savvy.

Though, on a funnier (or worrying?) side If I ask Google she gives me worries for this (even though she loves me too or may be because she loves me that's why). When I ask Wikipedia it puts me in the categories of those people who need healing. It says I am affected with IAD, the Internet Addiction Disorder syndrome. Quite a thought, huh!

Whatever it is, the fact is today my life is very much around internet almost like an inseparable part of my life today. And if you ask me to imagine my self for sometime without Google, God! I will feel brain-sick instantly.

Anyways, I am sure to watch tens & hundreds of more videos on the TED site in coming few days because its compelling to the core. In case you like it go ahead exploring it, don't worry it's ok to spend sometime of yours listening to the great ideas of others. There are people who keep their ideas to themselves to amaze/surprise others in future. And then there are those who love to share their ideas with others and get unimaginable & invaluable inputs from others, which actually helps them idealize better and enlighten the mankind. Which kind you are?


Give a thought.

Just Remember, If you have an idea, spread it.
