Solitude, Think, Develop Idea & Focus

"Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - Think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscle, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success" -  Swami Vivekananda

I was just thinking, did i hear this dialogue somewhere else ? Yes, in the Tamil movie released in 2015 - "Thani Oruvan", one of my favorite & charming actor Aravind Swamy tells this. What a classic dialogue. Isn't it ? 

We all know Warren Buffet and Bill Gates are good friends and they are like-minded. When Bill gates met Warren Buffet for the first time during the dinner. Gates's mother asked everyone in the dinner room, what they believed was the single most important factor in their success in life ?

These two like minded people gave the same answer, which was none other than "Focus". As Buffet says - Intensity is the price of excellence

The another common thing attached to this Idea and Focus is Thinking. Let's say I get chance to read more articles and novels in different topics and if  I don't think of it deeply through my mind, I won't get an idea and if I won't try to focus on that idea, then success will remain just a dream

Solitude is a great friend, when we are alone, our mind tend to think which we ignored earlier, this will help us to build our idea better and that will help us to focus on our activities. This is a road to success.

Ok, now let's see how this worked with investing, Say some 10 years back, if I would have spoken about stock market & investing, people would tell me, they are not interested in gambling (In India atleast), now a survey says more people specially during the corona time, when they had their solitude, they thought over stock market and had some idea about the financial markets and few already started focusing on making money in stock market

Thing to remember, when we start thinking, the first thought which strike our mind about a topic would definitely not be ours, that would be someone else's opinion which will strike us. when we keep thinking on the same topic with collection of different information, at last we will have our own thought, that is when we should start building our idea & focus to it

So, the cycle works this way, have solitude (Not always), start to think, have an idea and focus on it. Then success will approach us. Hope this blog give some information on developing an idea and focusing towards it to achieve success.
