Most sound ideas die before the first trial



The saying that the graveyard is the richest place on the planet is not one of those saying one can quickly dismiss because to a large extend, it’s the truth. It also applies to the aspect of ideas as most ideas are never tried, not even once before being dumped in the dustbin with “it won’t work” tag.
The truth is that if we give a benefit of doubt to every idea that we’ve researched properly, there is a large chance that many new product, services will have been produced. Aside the fact that our mistake may result to new product, we may also discover ways in which that product/services won’t work.
Thomas Edison said ‘just because something doesn’t do what you planned it to do doesn’t make it useless.’ He further said that he discovered about a thousand ways, the light bulb won’t be made instead of accepting failure. The problem most of us, however have is that we have not even tried once. There is the saying that a man that tries and fail is more experienced than the man that did not try atall. Get your first experience today by trying your idea. When you even fail, you will know that which made you fail and work against such in your next trial. Next time that beautiful idea drop into your heart, don’t just dismiss it.
It however does not mean that all first time will result to positive outcome but you will learn alot more than one who haven’t tried. For example, if you once get lost on a path, you are better than one who haven’t gone that path before. Give it a try!

Understand Priority!

It is important in life and especially business to prioritize ideas. Some questions that will help us as regard priority includes "when should this idea be implemented?" "Do I have all it takes to implement this idea now, if not, when will I have them?" "Won't it be late to implement this idea in so so and so time?" Etc. Many times, it's difficult to run/implement two or more ideas at a time but through priority we can still achieve them all though at different times. It also prevent tying up of capital and that may even affect both businesses. In priority, it's best to do the easiest first or one in which one has more expertise or one better research. In priority, a schedule is also important. When we ask the necessary questions, it would help us know how prepared we are for every idea we intend to implement less we start and encounter problem not anticipated. Some ideas are best implemented now than allowing them to wait while some are bet...

Prime movers of Agriculture!

It is good that the clamour for Nigerians to return to agriculture from the Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration of 1976 has been sustained by successive government. However, the problem with most of the call to return to agriculture is that those clamouring for such end with the thought of exporting the agricultural produce, this I disagree with. The question is ‘who are the farmers?’ because most times we want everybody to go back to the farm and if I understand what we are saying we are simply encouraging subsistence farming which from age past have never reduce unemployment or increase government revenue. What types of agriculture should we then do?

Nigeria not ripe for agricultural export!

Over the years, the jingles about returning to agriculture has increased. Even a child would tell you that the solution to the Nigerian problem is returning to agriculture. The problem I have with those advocating for a return to farming has always been emphasis on exporting agricultural produce for foreign exchange. The truth is that we are not yet self sufficient and therefore should not be talking of export. One of the reasons why the prices of agricultural produce are costly and scarce today is because a large chunk that should have remained in circulation has been moved to the port for export. The local industries cannot even depend on our agricultural sector because of inconsistency in supply. If we therefore desire our industries to grow, it's time we stop export and focus first on local production and satisfaction. The excess can serve as export.
