Creativity is just a mouse pad, and it is still far from a computer!

I remember when I was about to graduate from university, we were working on our graduation project, and I suddenly came up with an idea that felt very NB, which was about optimizing the fuel injection and atomization of gasoline and diesel engines to improve thermal efficiency. I'm excited.

But just have an idea, but don't know if it's really feasible. So I spent about 2 months, looking through all kinds of materials (there was no Internet at that time, I went to the library every day), carried out theoretical verification and refinement, and finally used this topic as my graduation thesis, and poured my heart and soul into writing a thick pile, and I felt that I had changed from an idea to a complete technical creation.

When it came to the defense, the tutors and professors seemed to be very interested, and spent a lot of time discussing with me, because I was coaxed, and was poured a lot of cold water, a professor raised a lot of questions about me from the production process to the cost economy, and I found that in fact, I thought that the complete technology creation was actually far away. I was embarrassed by the question, but at the end the professor comforted me and said that it would be nice for an undergraduate to have such ideas and creations, and to have such a thesis, and gave me a good grade.

Later, I believe that my thesis, like other students' graduation theses, was sealed and archived and put on the shelf.

It wasn't until more than ten years later that I learned from the news that an NB engine manufacturer began to apply similar technology to its high-end engines.

I believe my dissertation is still sitting in an archive somewhere, untouched. I would never be stupid to think that the engine of that NB was my brainchild for plagiarism and theft.

I know that I am 108,000 miles away from the real practical application, but I have really spent time demonstrating and researching my things, which is much more reliable than the so-called idea at the beginning

And an idea is far away from a successful product or business model. For example, this is like picking up a mouse pad and the distance from the entire supporting computer, at most it is a little stronger than that.

A person may have many ideas in his life, and the vast majority of them are likely to be unreliable. It is not possible for one person to put all his ideas into practice. Sharing immature ideas with others, listening to others' opinions, and revising one's own cognition and views on one's own creativity is of great benefit to cultivating one's own creative ability and practical ability in the long run.

If someone is willing to put their own ideas into practice, it would be even better, so that they could fully understand the problems encountered in the process of the idea being finally put into practice, so as to further reflect on the limitations and shortcomings of their own ideas, which is a great asset to themselves.

There is no need to look at whether others have succeeded or failed, and if they succeed, it is not your credit, and if they fail, it is not your mistake. As mentioned above, the relationship between creativity and the final achievement is the relationship between a mouse pad and an entire computer.

Until one day, you have an idea that you say to someone else,

Others will say: WoW, awesome!

You can also say that this idea requires 1,2,3,4,5 steps to execute, and it requires 1,2,3,4,5 different types of conditions and resources, and it is possible to encounter 1,2,3,4,5 different problems, and you can take 1,2,3,4,5 different solutions.

You know what flaws the idea might have, what difficulties it would have to implement, what corrective measures might be taken, how things should be done, and where to find resources.

When you tell others what you say, most of the suggestions and opinions that others can give fall on you.

At this time, this idea can be regarded as your idea, which no one else can steal.

People who worry about the theft of their ideas every day are generally people who only have superficial experience in talking on paper, and of course, they are likely to fall into the realm of staying at a very shallow level forever and talking on paper forever.
