The biggest secret about inventing is that anybody can do it ! Perhaps this sounds crazy , but it’s true. Maybe you have the wrong idea about inventing , so read on discover the truth.
Wrong idea number 1 : An invention has to be something completely new.Well, inventing means creating something “new”, but the idea could come from something that already exists . The Wright brothers , for example , got the idea for building a “flying machine ” from watching birds .
Wrong idea number 2: Inventors are born , not made. There are a lot of factors that make innovation possible . Take Mozart , for example . He was born with a unique talent for musical composition .But other factors were also important for his creativity. His father was i music teacher ,and Mozart practised for hours every day , from the time he was in kindergarten .
Thomas Edison sait that being an inventor was “99% har work and 1% inspiration “. Very successful creators don’t give up when they get something wrong . As one inventor said . “A failure is the right answer to the wrong question!”.
Wrong idea number 3:Inventors are always old people. Don’t believe that you can’t invent something when you are young .Here are two examples of young inventors : Louis Braille went blind when he was a child . When he was 15 , he invented a system of reading and writing for blind people that is still used in most countries today.
A a young man , George Nissen was watching trapeze artists in a circus . He watched how they fell into the safety net and the bounced back up again. This gave him an idea and he invented the trampoline.
