Answer

  • Remember the saying 'necessity is the mother of the invention'. When the people need the things, sooner or later someone will come up with an idea to meet that need. It could be you!
  • Watch people and notice their habits. How do they do the everyday activities, such as answering the phone, handling the money or the credit cards, eating and drinking? Is there a way that one of the activities could be made easier?
  • When you have an idea, write it down. Draw a picture. Give it a name. This will help your mind work on the idea further.
  • Don’t talk to the negative people about your ideas. The motivation is important for the creativity and negative people can kill it.
  • Talk to a friend about your ideas. Some of the most successful ideas emerge through the talking.
