Please don’t read into this that all crazy ideas are great. That is not true. Only some crazy ideas are great. However, all great ideas sound crazy because if they were just merely good, most people would be able to understand it and agree upon it as being good, as many of us could have come up with them. In contrast, a great idea, in the true sense of the “great” adjective rather than its overused parlance version, is great from the unlikelihood many of us could have conceived it, understand it, and/or believe in its feasibility being anything short of crazy. The challenge with great ideas sounding crazy, though, is how to differentiate it from the crazy sounding ideas that are actually crazy.

A Great Proverb Needs No Explanation
What makes a great proverb? For me, it should need no explanation for what it means. Yet, it should allow lots of discussion, expounding, thought, and contemplation if one wished to engage with it. There should be a lack of exception to its message, or a very limited number of exceptions, at most. It should be short, easy to say, and easy to remember. Basically, universal, deep, short, sweet.
Everything That Happens To Me Happens For A Great Reason Whether I Know It Then Or Not
Has anything bad happen in your life that has turned out well, like the proverbial blessing in disguise? What’s the worst thing that has happened to you that has turned out well? Or that bad thing which has reversed fortunes most?
