QBQ 34 - IGNITE YOUR INNOVATIVE MIND!

Thomas Edison did not start off with the idea of ‘Hey! I want to invent a light bulb.’ I bet you didn’t know about his first invention; the Phonograph, otherwise known as a gramophone or record player (as we would call it), a device for the mechanical recording and reproduction of sound. It was in the process of studying, practicing and sourcing for ways to bring his phonograph idea to reality that he realized how inconvenient and obviously cost dependent it was to carry candles up and down, burning them all through the night. So he decided, why don’t I create something more convenient and less expensive to enable me achieve this purpose soon enough. And that is the reason we have the light bulb still in existence till today, the most popular invention of all times, beating his gramophone 10:1. In his words, ‘…we will make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles.’ What are you waiting for? There is no perfect time, place, mood, weather or whatever. Choose your own ‘perfect’ condition and roll with it, it’s all part of the game-changing process.
