Think Childish!

Around years we are pressing hard on innovation, so what exactly does it mean. It isn't easy to innovate, to bring an idea (which people often joke off) into reality. The results are a product of long hours of failure, of which we are often feared. The first flight by Wright bros. lasted just 12 sec and covered 111 feet which is so nano of what we do today. There is always this failure factor playing around to screw us out, but also possibility of a new world of ideas uncovered.

RANDOM -A child is always what he/she is. The approach he (assuming it is a small boy) has is always random, always new. There aren't any rules set for they are free to do any thing in any way. That is the think that lands them to discover new things.

NO FEAR AND QUESTION- Also they don't have any fear of failure not even a bit of it. Our approaches to things should be in such manner, always, why is it so? Why not this way? A good example of such approach is : Chinese alchemist in medieval times, were searching for and elixir and they like a small child's play mixed things randomly. They almost tried everything, but one combination surprised them, shit of bats + charcoal + sulphur. Which resulted not in elixir but gunpowder (Shit of bat was full of potassium nitrate.) Which opened a new array of inventions such as rockets, guns etc. Which ultimately changed the course of human history and as they say, the rest is history. Such an attitude needs to be encouraged and inculcated in young minds. Eventually young scientists will fearlessly contribute.

UPDATE AND ENCOURAGE IDEAS- We should always be welcome to new ideas and updates as a child does. Guns were invented in the 16th century and British came in the 18th, if we had guns and we would had done R&D for 2 centuries, India would never had  been under British rule instead the opposite would have been true.

OBSERVE- Another quality a child has, is keen observation. Small children often sit staring at one thing continuously. They are really good at it.

 DOCUMENTATION – Collect, analyze and interpret. This is a process that child carries out mentally.
 
India had, has and will always have good brains but there is a need for the right approach. India needs, and can achieve tremendous growth in science and technology, and I think such approach will multiply it. Naturally, everyone was a child once.

 So think childish!
