Great ideas are like love

Great ideas are similar to love. They come rarely, unpredictably and only to some people, just as love does.

And only worthy human can make great idea or great love happen. You must be really courageous to not get frightened by all things it demands from you: loyalty, selflessness, humility. You must be really strong and determined to bring an idea to life.

Once a beautiful as phoenix idea came to me. It was an idea of a scientific article. I started to write down the paper and soon realized that it was really hard. In order to write down the paper I had to visit a bunch of libraries to check out all the facts and numbers, recall all the citations, verify all the details. So I decided to make all this hard stuff a day after. Or, perhaps, two days after when I would have more time. But the day after and two days after I still did not have enough time. And only a month later I remembered my desicion to make a paper. But when I started to write, I realized that it is all over. The idea was gone. It even never let me possess it. What once was a pure charming beauty demanding to be written down immediately turned into obscure remembrances. This article was never written.



Idea and love do not wait until you will have more time and right mood. They just leave you. And if they not, things get even worse. Because in this case beautiful idea and love turn into ugly grumbling old hag. And who on the Earth coul be inspired by it?

Great ideas are as rare as great love for the same reason. One human is not enough to realize it. Somebody else have to get inspired by it and to join you in a task of bringing an idea or love into life. Moreover, he or she must be as worthy, corageous and strong, as you are. As well he or she must be ready to sacrifice everything for love or idea to take place.

And the last similarity between ideas and love is their suddenness. They do not come when you expect them. You cannot summonn them, no matter how hard you try. Therefore the only option is to be humble and to do what you have to. Be very attentive to what is going on around you: love or great idea can come to someone beside you. Because you can share love and idea with him or her.
