Necessity Is The Mother Of All Invention by SOPMedia: 6:10am On Nov 22, 2023
“Ever heard the saying, ‘Necessity is the mother of all inventions’? Well, a super smart Greek philosopher named Alexander Plato said that way back in 380 BC. Basically, it means when people really need something, they figure out a way to make it happen. It’s like when someone sees a problem and thinks outside the box to fix it using cool technology or new ideas.

As time goes on, we keep coming up with new stuff that makes life easier. But, here’s the tricky part: as we invent more things and tech gets better, some jobs might disappear, and people might lose their jobs. So, we need to be careful about how we handle all these changes.

Now, why did they use the word ‘Mother’ in that saying? Well, think of a mother as the foundation of something or someone. We all come into this world because of a mom. She’s the reason we’re here, and that brings us to talking about incubating ideas in this article. It’s like nurturing ideas to make them grow.

So, what’s necessity? It’s just a fancy way of saying ‘need.’ When you really need something, you’ll do whatever it takes to get it done. And guess what? Needing something pushes you to work harder than just wanting it.

Let’s talk about this in the business world. Companies spend a lot of money on ads to create a demand for their products. When people want what they’re selling, the company makes a ton of money.

Okay, enough about needs. Let’s get to inventions. Why do people invent things? Easy — to make life easier or solve problems. Imagine if we still had to send letters by snail mail. Inventions like smartphones and email templates make communication a breeze. That’s what we call progress!

Some inventions solve general problems, while others tackle specific ones. When you’re inventing something, it’s because you’ve faced a problem or you just really want to see a change.

There’s a saying that goes, ‘If Necessity is the Mother of invention, then discontent is the father of progress.’ Basically, people who aren’t happy with how things are end up creating cool stuff that makes them successful. Discontent pushes us to find solutions.

And here’s a reality check: many great ideas end up in the graveyard because people didn’t act on them. When you have an idea, work on it! It might not be perfect at first, but over time, you’ll see the beauty in it.

Remember, staying idle for too long isn’t good.

To stay relevant, keep upgrading yourself and seek resources that make you better. Figure out your purpose and work on it. You’re not just here to exist; you’re here to solve problems and make a difference.

Nothing looks good until you start seeing results. Your inventions might not be amazing right away, but eventually, you’ll see the awesome potential in your ideas.

Stay safe,
Stay aware,
Stay important.
