hello tedsters this is actually my third TED three-minute talk and it's great to be able to share my research but you know being known as the three-minute guy is not always a good thing now Ted is all about ideas Worth's worth I'll try that over now Ted is all about ideas worth spreading but many people think I could never have an idea worth spreading I'm not creative or artsy or a genius well the good news is anyone can have super ideas and the interesting thing is that many great ideas come when people do surprisingly simple things so let's look at four simple ways to have super ideas one is have a problem because ideas or solutions to everyday problems Richard Branson told me at a problem he was stranded in the airport after his flight to Puerto Rico was canceled and to solve the problem he got on the phone called around chartered a plane sold tickets to the other stranded passengers and actually ended up making a profit the light went on I could start an airline and the idea for Virgin Atlantic was born Sam Smith had a problem he was really heartbroken after his lover left them and then he thought well to get over it I'll write about it the light went on and the idea for a song called stay with me was born it went on to win four Grammy Awards and song of the year so Sam went from very heartbroken - very happy and the idea solved his problem number two listen because ears are Wi-Fi for ideas dr. Jean Carruthers was injecting a patient's eyelids with Botox to stop them from to stop muscle spasms and the patient asked why didn't you inject my forehead Jean said you don't have spasms there the patient said I know but every time you inject my forehead I get this beautiful untroubled expression gene listen the light went on and she had the idea to use Botox to reduce Brown lines and wrinkles and from that one comment a whole new Botox treatment came around that's now used by millions and valuated billions number three look around Richard Feynman was a physicist eating lunch in the Cornell University cafeteria and a student stood up and threw a plate across the room those crazy students and Richard notices a plate spun and through the air the Cornell medallion on the plate seemed to be spinning faster than the plate well he went away got an idea worked out the motion of the mass particles whatever there and he said looking in that plate was what one is Nobel Prize ji look at a plate now all I see his food he looks at plate and wins the Nobel Prize so when it comes to ideas IQ spelled a ye often wins over IQ as Marilyn Vos savant says and she holds a Guinness record for highest IQ to acquire knowledge one must study but to acquire wisdom one must observe or as warren buffett says i always believe my eyes rather than anything else and now the biggest secret for super ideas could I have a drumroll please oh that's not bad come on one more time I don't wait wait here I have to introduce you okay one more time a drumroll please whoa now that's what I call a drumroll the important thing is write down your ideas because if you don't they'll fly away never to return Larry Page says when I was 23 I suddenly woke up thinking what if we could download the whole web and just keep the links I grab the pen and started scribbling out the details and Google was born when a really great dream shows up grab it so if you are dreaming of a great idea forget being artsy or creative or genius just be yourself do some really simple things and you too can have super ideas worth sharing and I can't wait to hear about them thanks so much
