Talk to others Externalization
It is important to develop ideas, but it is also important to talk to others and listen to their opinions. While chatting with friends and relaxing, opinions bring about different perspectives and lead to new ideas. Take the idea outside your head ̶ that’s the first step toward a new creation.
Organize ideas Combination
Ideas also require logic. Subjectivity is essential to keeping a good balance between ideas and logic. Through continuous communication, an idea becomes logical and gains validity as a project.
Take action Internalization
The final step is to take action. Even if you come up with an idea and make a proposal, without the essential final step of taking action, your effort is only halfway to the goal. It is important to try it out. Do not be afraid of failure, and at the same time, prepare well to avoid failure and carry out the plan. That is also sure to boost your confidence.
