10 Habits Of People Who Can Always Generate Great Ideas

You may have been around, or have read online about, those people who seem to be “idea factories,” churning out great new idea after great new idea. And then actually following through with those ideas. What propels these people forward? How do they come up with these great ideas? What do they do to keep themselves unaffected by harsh critics — both external and internal? It can seem like it takes no effort, but while there may be times where the ideas just seem to “come” to those people, it most often takes focus, determination, and commitment. There is not some magic formula, and “poof,” a great idea is just “born.” Ideas start from a spark, and that spark is recognized, acknowledged, and developed. A spark is not the idea, but is the kernel of truth from which the great idea springs forth. How does one “grow’ an idea then? Here are 10 habits of people who develop ideas and run with them.

THE PEER EFFECT

Image
Have you ever been in a situation,where you desire or want anything that others want,even if it was not on your mind at that moment? Ever lived a life where you do not know what you want until others want it for you. Or ever wanted for it for themselves and then it struck you that you need it too. That is called the "PEER EFFECT". Though I must admit that name, word or syndrome occurred to me when I noticed I had a friend that will always roll her eyes up when she heard someone say they missed a cupcake, would reach out to her wallet when she heard someone is going to buy roasted meat and will jump up when someone is going to buy a soda. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?? Is it hereditary or a thing that just happens??  (Did I just call it a thing, is it?) That is when I reached out and learn more about people that are easily inspired or influenced by other people. Mind you saying that they are inspired sparks more positive energy than saying that they are i...

8 Unrealistic Expectations Men Have Of Women

  Guys. We love you, but some of the expectations you have of us, girls, range from bluntly absurd to rather mean. Just like you, we’re face the same limitations that are posed on us by being human. If you stop expecting the next 8 things, our whole relationships may go onto the next quality level! 1. We cannot look hot without taking no time to get ready. Do you realize that even those “effortless, I just got out of bed look” requires hours of careful preparation – blow dry, face tone, mascara, bronzer, etc. Don’t pace nervously around the room, sighing for the tenth time, looking at your watch and moaning: “Are you ready, yet?”. Most of us were not born so naturally good-looking as you are. So sit down and wait if you’d like us to look gorgeous as hell. 2. We can’t be skinny and curvy at the same time. Yes, most of you want a girl with “that” perfect body type – slim, but not skinny; soft, but not fat. With curves in the right places and zero anywhere el...

18 Things Financially Mature People Don’t Do

    1. They don’t spend more than they make A recent Yahoo Finance study found that “fewer than half of Americans are spending less than they earn.” This problem is compounded by high credit card interest rates. If you’re finding it difficult to stick to a budget, try switching to cash as your currency. This will quickly stop the bleeding because once cash is gone the spending has to stop. 2. They don’t wait until the end of the month to see how their money is doing Credit card bills should be formalities, not surprises. Expense tracking apps (or a pen and paper) help you stay on top of your money. 3. They don’t pay for subscriptions they aren’t using Gym memberships, magazine subscriptions, and season tickets to your favorite team’s games are great – if you actually use them. Spend some time going through your credit card statement and cancel a few forgotten subscriptions. Chances are, you won’t miss them. 4. They don’t overlook small expenses Smal...
