A mindset that welcomes innovation
Embracing a mindset that welcomes innovation! 🚀
* Collecting myriad details and forging connections.
* Challenging the conventional by taking an outside position.
* Understanding that evolution is not targeted but beautifully random.
* Acknowledging that not everything is rational.
* Overcoming system limitations.
Just took a dive into the brilliance of Humboldt, Kopernikus, Darwin, Freud, and Mendeleev. 🌟 It's not just about "what" they came up with but "how" they did it – that's where the real learning happens.
Darwin caught my attention. His insight? Evolution isn't a meticulously planned process. It's like a brainstorming session for a species facing challenges. Random "ideas" are tested, not a neatly orchestrated plan.
🌐Traditionally, we're taught that new ideas must solve a customer pain, add value, or outshine the existing. Execution requires a target and measurement, right? Not entirely. In our daily routines, aligning actions with value makes sense, but it can be limiting to creativity and innovation.
🌈Reflecting on this, an idea doesn't always have to be rational. Inventions are born from randomness, and details matter. It's not about the best idea winning—it's about executing more ideas for one innovation to succeed!
Let's break the mold and explore the uncharted.
The common thread among the great thinkers is their ability to challenge established norms, think outside the box, and embrace new perspectives. Learning from their success involves cultivating a mindset that welcomes innovation, questions assumptions, and seeks connections in unexpected places. It's about fostering curiosity, adaptability, and a willingness to explore the unknown.
Let's have a look how they did:
Collecting myriad details and forging connections.
Humboldt, with his meticulous attention to detail, excelled in collecting information and recognizing connections. His approach laid the foundation for understanding the intricacies of the world around us.

Challenging the conventional by taking an outside position
Kopernikus, taking a bold stance, challenged conventional wisdom by proposing a heliocentric model of the solar system. This revolutionary shift in perspective transformed our understanding of the cosmos.
Understanding that evolution is not targeted but beautifully random
Darwin, in his groundbreaking work on evolution, shattered the notion of purposeful development. By highlighting the role of randomness in natural selection, he revolutionized biology and our perception of life.
Acknowledging that not everything is rational
Freud, with his insights into the human psyche, emphasized the non-mechanical and non-rational aspects of our minds. He opened up new avenues in psychology by exploring the complexities of the unconscious.
Overcoming system limitations
Mendeleev's brilliance lies in breaking free from rigid systems. His periodic table, organized by atomic mass, paved the way for predicting the properties of yet-to-be-discovered elements, showcasing the power of flexibility in scientific thought.
