Reaction to "Those crazy ideas" by Isaac Asimov.

Crazy ideas are all over the place, you are at the most amazing place or situation and they strike you in just a nano second. This brilliant ideas or crazy ideas, sometimes, are the conclusion of a combination of things that we have in our lives; as Isaac Asimov says you need five key characteristics to be able to create this type of ideas or at least be able to notice that you can create them. The first characteristic that Isaac says we have to have is that we have to be well educated, meaning that "the creative person posses as many "bits" of information as possible". Mr. Asimov uses the word “bits” as a collection of information, facts or individual pieces of data. The second characteristic that he presents is that the creative person should be intelligent meaning that the person should be able to combine all bits in an organized and logical way. This lets the person to acquire as much information as he can and store it in an organized way. The third characteristic is that the creative person should be intuitive so he should be able to see things that others cannot see and making that noticeable faster than any other person in the world. The fourth and for me the most important characteristic that a person should have to be a creative person and be able to made up with brilliant ideas is to be courageous, that is being brave and take an action on what ever you believe in and proving that you can do what ever you set your mind to. The final and concluding characteristic that a creative person can have is to be lucky and it is a big part of what you do because no matter how hard you try to get a new and brilliant idea or even crazy idea, if it does not hit you in that second provably it will never hit you at least in that precious moment that you are trying so hard.

With this five characteristics Isaac Asimov drives his entire essay of "Those crazy ideas" and makes you think in the possibility that may be you are not capable of making all this great ideas. What I think is that no matter where you are or even where are you from, looking at your background or family structure you can be what ever you set your mind to be and trust me you could make it real, I am a vivid prove of what I am saying. Provably if you are not that smart but good at the arts you are going to succeed no matter how hard life turns to be at the end of the road what ever you think you are good for you are probably going to be successful.
