When is an idea a good idea?

jul. 12 2010
 

This evening I was looking at the beautifull Dutch sunset and day dreaming about several things. And than a question popped-up. When is an idea a good idea? Ted.com has the slogan: Ideas worth spreadingIt means that the idea's they show are scaleable. When you look at Vincent van Gogh you see that his idea seems to be a good idea 80 years later. What do you think. When is an idea a good idea?Groeten / Regards, Sibren

About the classification "good"good is: duplicated in minds and words many timesor good is: when the result is used many timesor good is: when it gives new impulses for others to start actingor good is: completely useless but brilliantFascinating about TED is that it generates a place of attention and presents thoughts that are quite easy to understand. The medium video is common accepted and is a good "mean of transport".Groeten / Regards, Sibren

Van Gogh museum was the only museum so far which brought instant tears to my eyes with a few glances when I entered to it in my visit to Amsterdam.Regards,Mehmet Yildiz[ reply to this comment ] [ hide ] [ report spam ]

When it makes people change, when your context allows you to see what others can't and your passion drives you on then you know you have a good idea.Were Einstein's ideas on relativity good ones? Did people say 'That makes sense' when he first presented them? I think the answers to those two questions are yes and no respectively.William BuistEcademySupporting Business People[ reply to this comment ] [ hide ] [ report spam ]

Strong brush strokes combined with overwhelming coulor intensity/sensitivity.So a good idea makes a major shift, wow, that idea is really big than!Groeten / Regards, Sibren[ reply to this comment ] [ edit ] [ hide ]

Likes (0)by Sibren vd Burgt on 13-Jul-10 3:09pm@ WilliamInteresting description, tank you William it comes close to how I see it. But stil there is a point where few words are getting fluent:1. a thought you have2. putting the label "an idea" on it3. someone recognizes it as an idea and uses the concept in his own context"when your context allows you to see what others can't" > that will be nr 2I like you explanation about the "creazy" thoughts and the passion behind the thought.There are many creazy thoughts of people but not recognized as a good idea.In Holland you have a TV program about "het beste idee van Nederland", trying to get your business idea realized."Because when an idea makes sense it's already generally accepted, so is not a new idea."Not a new idea but a it was a good one onceI will try to summ-up what we have so far.A good idea must be:- a new thought, mostly a bit "creazy"- an unique insight- having the idea-label- recognized as an idea- usefull for othersStill in my mind: How come when an idea gets the tag "good" years later,(like the example of Einstein and van Gogh? How many idea's are available now without having the label and not beëing used but just as brilliant?Groeten / Regards, Sibren[ reply to this comment ] [ edit ] [ hide ]

These industries then pollute giving us wastewater. Each litre of Plastic bottled Water requires 3 litres of water to produce. There is a new more environmental solution.

As some people think about idea's for "the univers", an invention of the paperclip for example is a good idea also. literal a smal object, does not change the world really but after many years still very respected and used as an example of "a good idea".Groeten / Regards, Sibren[ reply to this comment ] [ edit ] [ hide ]

Likes (0)by Sibren vd Burgt on 16-Jul-10 8:15am@MartinNice observation, the right idea - and how to bear fruit.I think you never know whether the right idea will be successfull. Look at many businessidea's, on paper good and maybe the right idea - and still ... no fruit. Sometimes the idea is not on the same wavelength with time, situation, etc.If someone came - as first person in the world - with the idea of a paperclip today, I think nothing happens.Groeten / Regards, Sibren
