Ways to bring an idea into existence

 


I once read of a story about a Florida University Professor and his student.

He divided his film photography student into two groups.

He named the  first group "quality" group and the second group " quantity" group.

He told them that, they would be graded base on the amount of work they produce. He proceeded by telling the quantity group that any work that is rated hundred would receive an A grade, and the one for 90 would receive a B grade and so on.

For the " quality group", they are graded base on their work, that is, they would have to produce only one photo during the semester and it have to be a perfect one for them to get an A.

At the end of the semester, he had observed that the quantity group did well compare  to the quality group.

You know why?

All this while, the quantity group are busy taking photos, experimenting different kinds of exposures and lighting, While the quality group are seeking after perfection; they were seeking for the perfect photo idea to struck before they start taking shots.

Meanwhile during all this process of experimenting and trying to readjust, the quantity group honed their skill on the subject, which made them stood out.

Many Creatives tend to fall into the "quality group"
category. They tend to wait for a perfect or that so called "holy idea", expecting and angel to visit them(sorry ohh Angelica pesin🀣).

Many of us seek to hone our skill and one way of doing that is not by fantasize about it, but by taking action.

You want to hone your writing skill? write, write and write!

You want to hone your painting skill? Paint, Paint and Paint!.

Just do it, do it, and do it all over and over(that's the hack).

The More you repeat it, the more your brain brain open its path of fishing the idea.

On a close, let it be known unto you that "an idea not coupled with action will never get any bigger than the cell it occupied" —Arnold H. Glasow

Linch Pin To Being Lucky

Image
Some months back, I was privileged to be at a book club hangout. As I remembered that day, I made effort to jar my memory about everything that happened on that day. Amongst the things I remember was, been called upon to make an introduction about myself. After saying my name and all of that, the anchor, whose energy level I dearly admire asked me a question. The question she asked was, "do you believe in luck?" With a long pause, I thought hmmm! Why did I get that kind of question? I mean–every other person's were been asked about their hobby and this is what I got! Well, this is a tough one, who doesn't pray to be lucky?! I can't really recall everything I said, but I recalled saying something like, "luck is not as important as preparation"; I went ahead making instances to justify my claim. When I looked back at what I said that day, I realized that, I tend to still agree with it, because when you are lucky–apart from winning a lottery–it could only m...

  Rather than seeing fast growth as a goal, see it as an adjustable variable; that's even if you're in for the infinite game. This entails that you strategically slow the rate of your growth, by extending your tentacles as a means to acquire enough skill and training that would help you move head long in the midst of added pressure, because there's going to have a lot of them as you journey along in your endeavors. What make an endeavor "successful" is not in that endeavor itself, it is the individuals who are behind that endeavor that determine how successful it would be. ~PCI

How decisions shape who we become

Image
Have you ever been in a situation where you are having a back and forth talk with someone–as to what should be done– and all they keep saying is, " I have made up my mind; this is my decision!" Have you? Oftentimes, decisions are as a result of a convictions or evidences we have, based on the matter at hand; sometimes, it could just be because of the outcome or objective that we have at the back of our mind. Making or taking decisions can most times be dicey...because there's no  difference between that and responding to something. It's quite the same! Your decision determines your response. To put this in a better perspective,  your decisions are pre-determinant of your reactions; every response you once gave is due to decision you've once made, be it private or publicly.  However, in most cases, your decisions will not be consistent with life happenings, therefore, be careful of what decisions you are making, because  decisions are powerful, once you made them t...
