What happened to that brilliant idea that you once had? Did you 36 it because you thought that it was just a little thought? Have you ever 37 what that little thought would have become if you had acted on your instincts (直觉) 38 if you had paid more attention to it?
Imagine a scene, 39 you are sitting at home watching television or reading a book, suddenly a light is 40 on in the dark tunnel of your mind as a thought or an idea crosses your mind. The thought 41 your attention but seems so meaningless and you are tempted to 42 it, but wait a minute! That thought could be the potential beginning of the 43 you have so mush wished for.
As the thought crosses your mind, your senses become alert and you suddenly see a possibility, a solution, or find the answer to a problem whose solution has 44 escaped you. It is almost as if a wise man has 45 the perfect solution into your ear or awakened your senses to a reality, thereby bringing light to your life. It is like finding the 46 piece of jigsaw puzzle (拼图游戏). This becomes an amazing moment and everything freezes around you as you excitedly try to grasp the practicality of that 47 but powerful thought.
Your self-confidence and enthusiasm increase as you become 48 of the great possibilities that can 49 if that little thought is acted upon. This becomes the moment to build upon that thought and to put 50 any ideas that are streaming from that little thought for later review. 51 meaningless little thought or ideas when acted 52 have a potential to explode into great projects. Many successful projects have been 53 from the little positive thoughts that were carefully protected and recognized as bricks to great things.
Don't waste a(n) 54 to act on a potentially brilliant idea. You don't have to wait for a major idea, or approval from your peers in order for you to act on that little thought.
That little thought or idea is the 55 of great things if you decide to follow it through.

Stuck on a desert island? | |
Started on 23rd April by Steve Posts 1 – 7 of 42 | |
Post 1 Steve USA | Hi, everyone. What would you miss most and least if you were stuck on a desert island? For me, it would be the changing seasons in New England. I guess this will sound stupid but I’d probably miss the rain, too. I wouldn’t miss getting up at six every day to go to work, though! What about you? |
Post 2 Tomas Germany | Good question. Steve, I think I’d miss different types of bread, and shopping at the supermarket. I’d miss the food most. What would I miss least? My mobile phone---I’d like to be completely quiet --- at least for a little while |
Post 3 Paola Italy | I would miss the company of people because I know I’d like to have someone to share experiences with. I’d go mad on my own. And I sure wouldn’t miss junk mail(垃圾邮件) --- I hate coming home every evening and a pile of junk mail in my post box. |
Post 4 Miko Japan | Hi, I would miss Manga cartoon, the internet and Japanese food, like sushi. I’d also miss TV shows and shopping for clothes… In fact, I’d miss everything. |
Post 5 Roger UK | I would miss my daily newspaper and listening to the news on TV and radio. I’d feel very cut off if I didn’t know what was happening in the world. What I’d miss least would be traffic jams in the city, particularly my journey to work. |
Post 6 Jayne | Why hasn’t anyone mentioned their family? I’d be lost without my husband and two kids. They’re the most important for me. And I can’t get started in the morning without a cup of black coffee. I wouldn’t miss doing the housework! |
Post 7 Jaime Mexico | It would have to be music. I couldn’t live without my music. I wouldn’t miss going to school at all or doing homework! |
