WHERE THE GREAT IDEAS COME FROM-SUMMARY We love to believe in that eureka moment, where a good idea suddenly comes out of nowhere to the lone genius. In reality, ideas are born in very different situations. In “Where Good Ideas Come From”, Steven Johnson explores the history of innovation to discover certain surprising patterns that explain the birth of good ideas, and what we can do to improve the creativity of our environment. Here are 10 big ideas from Steven Johnson’s Where Good Ideas Come From… 1) There are seven patterns of innovation that appear over and over in culture AND in nature Steven Johnson explains that innovation and creativity are fractal: they occur by following the same seven patterns throughout the world, whether it’s a city or a coral reef.

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny. -- Frank Outlaw Real change comes from within. It doesn't come from hacking at the leaves of attitude and behavior with quick fix personality ethic techniques. It comes from striking at the root -- the fabric of our thought, the fundamental, essential paradigms, which give definition to our character and create the lens through which we see the world. -- Stephen Covey If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life, which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

I personally believe that all these assumptions are partly true, but in a way they are still forms of stereotyping. To some extent, these assumptions are true, but not every youth is a druggie or a know it all and so on.

People are different, and the difference can strengthen society in many ways, because the diversity provides opportunities to learn and grow from one another.

There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure. It is something that usually takes a lot of effort to get, but is worth it in the end.
