where do great ideas come from ?

in japan , while digging for tunnels in mountains for the bullet trains , the engineers came across water . the engineers were very thirsty , so they drank some water . it was really tasty and sweet.

next thing we know – they started selling this water in a bottle.

travis kalanick was once in paris and could not find a cab. that is how he got the idea of a cab at the push of a button on the cell phone and founded uber , the ride hailing company.

where do these ideas come from ?

experts agree that if you have a problem and try to think about it for a long time and solve the small pieces , bit by bit and connect the dots , slowly the brain starts working on a solution.

the brain has various states – alpha waves , beta waves being the lowest frequency. At the alpha waves state , the brain is calm , free of all disturbances and relaxed. This is the state where the brain works at the best level – thinking , creativity , problem solving , etc

We have a course on how to attain this level .

If you go to international airports like frankfurt (germany) , heathrow (london) , you will hear pipe music .. it is relaxing music of a genre called smooth jazz . you can also achieve alpha waves by listening to this genre.
