"He doubted everything, constantly, because he realised that if we didn't have doubt, we would not have any new ideas." "being unsure gives you chance to improve the situation." Since I read those sentences, I welcome doubt when it comes, I see it as room for improvement.

Doubt Can Be Useful, Don't Be Scared Of It

If you want to be inspired to create, you can observe nature and get ideas. Many devices were inspired by nature.Velcro (Inspired by Burrs):Swiss engineer George de Mestral invented Velcro after observing how burrs stuck to his dog's fur. The hook-and-loop fastener mimics the way burrs attach to surfaces.Solar Panels Inspired by Photosynthesis:Researchers have explored ways to improve solar panels by mimicking the process of photosynthesis in plants, capturing and converting sunlight into energy more efficiently.

Innovation Inspired By Nature

"concepts were launched before they had been perfected and then improved as they went along."Don't be afraid to launch you ideas before perfection. The beauty lies in the process, where imperfect launches become the stepping stones to perfected outcomes. An example given in the book is Starbucks. "Starbucks embraced imperfection. They introduced new concepts quickly. Whether an iced caramel macchiato or a new store design, concepts were launched before they had been perfected and then improved as they went along"

Embracing Imperfection

"A great idea is electrifying and exhilarating. It has energy but no matter how strong the idea, if you sit on it it get cold.""The minute we lose momentum, we lose the thread. Our inner critic awakens""When it comes to execution, the key is to get moving - and keep moving.

Quickly Acting On Your Ideas

Get ready to get inspired   In short and engaging entries, this deceptively simple volume presents examples of creative thinkers from the worlds of writing, music, architecture, painting, technology, and more, shedding light on their process, and showing how each of us can learn from them to improve our lives and our work. Subjects range from the grueling practice schedule of the Beatles and the relentless revisions of Tolkien, Sondheim, and Picasso to the surprisingly slapdash creation of The Simpsons. You’ll learn about the most successful class in history (in which every student won a Nobel Prize), how frozen peas were invented, why J.K. Rowling likes to write in cafes, and how 95 percent of Apocalypse Now ended up on the cutting-room floor. Takeaways include: - Doubt everything all the time. - Plan to have more accidents. - Be mature enough to be childish. - Contradict yourself more often. - Be practically useless. - If it ain’t broke, break it. - Surprise yourself. - Look forward to disappointment. - Be as incompetent as possible.
