CONCEPT EXPLORATION

DO NOT KEEP RIGID MINDSET

THINK OF ALTERNATE SOLUTIONS(IDEA)

Application Example

• Aravind calls itself an “eye care system” as it goes beyond the delivery of pure eye care, to additionally address barriers to accessing care.

• Aravind adopts active rural outreach. It holds “eye camps” in which it registers patients, administers eye examinations, teaches eye care, and identifies people who may require surgery.

HOW do you discover and create possibilities?

• Start with yourself…..You probably have millions of good ideas

located right there in your mind. You just have to get hold of them and pull them out.

• Learn about community……You need to gather enough information to

form an overall picture of people's interests, values, struggle similarities, and differences

• Think about future….. We can make some educated guesses. And those guesses may help us figure out next step that work for our communities.

• Get beyond hopelessness……Difficult time being creative and thinking

about new possibilities.

• Be courageous……In order to be creative you may have to

be courageous. You may have to think in ways that are different from others

WILBUR AND ORVILLE WRIGHT

side news.• It was a weekly newspaper that Wilbur and

Orville wright published briefly in 1889 and 1891.• In 1893 the wright brothers started a bicycle

• They gained the mechanical skills essential for their success by working for years in their shop with printing presses, bicycle, motors and other machinery.• Their work with bicycle in particular

influenced their belief that an unstable vehicle like a flying machine could be controlled and balanced with practice.• This shows their continuous dedication

towards work and improving their skills.• When the world was thinking of ways to

speed up travel on land and water, they came up with a completely new idea of travel by Air!!!

DON’T GIVE EXCUSES

WHEN FACING A PROBLEM

• Non-contributor give all type of excuses whenever some problem crops up which they know Is going to push them to the extremes.• For them, the glass is “always half empty”• Contributors, on the other hand, have a

will-do attitude…for them glass “always half full”• Having a such an attitude is actually about

making a decision to look to the solution rather then just the problem.

CAN-DO ATTITUDE OF A CONTRIBUTOR

• I can do everything, if its important enough for me to do.• I may not do all at once but I can do.• I may not be best at everything but I can do everything.• There will be limitations but I can do

everything.• I’ll need help but I can do everything.

STEVE JOBS

• Steave jobs was the co-founder of apple computers.• Board members of Apple met on May 28th,

1985 and each voted on the removal of Steve from the company.• After taking time off, Jobs wanted to get

group(later renamed Pixar).• In 1996, apple announced that it would

buy neXT for $427 million. The deal was finalize to bringing jobs back to the company he co-founded.

FEAR OF FAILURE

MEANING OF FAILURE

I will not say I failed 1000 times, I will say that I discovered there are 1000 ways that can causes failure….

- Thomas Edison

HENRY FORD FAILED

• He “burned” through all the money from his first group of investors without producing a car.• He eventually produced a car and raised

another $60,000 in share capital, but his Detroit auto company went bankrupt.• In the 1920’s , henry ford refused to update

from model T car, leading sales to fall dramatically• Ford tried to launch a political career, but

never succeeded.

CONTRIBUTORS MANTRA FOR “SUCCESS”

“Failure is simply an opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently”

- Henry Ford

Contributors do not depend on others to give them “aid”. They take up the challenges in front of them and develop their own solutions to these challenges.
