精美英文欣赏:别错过那些想法

Are You Ignoring That Little Thought

What happened to that brilliant idea that you once had? Did you ignore it because you thought that it was just a little thought ?

Have you ever considered what that little thought would have become if you had acted on your instincts or if you had paid more attention to it ?

Imagine a scenario¹ ,where you are sitting at home watching television or reading a book , suddenly a light buld is turned on in the dark tunnel of your mind as a thought or an idea crosses your mind . The thought catches your attention but seems so meaningless and you are tempted² to discard it , but wait a minute !

That thought could be the potential beginning of the success you have so mush yearned³ for . As the thought crosses your mind . your senses become alert and you suddenly see a possibility , a realization⁴ , a solution , a conclusion , or find the answer to a problem whose solution has long eluded⁵ you .

It is almost as if a divine being has whispered the perfect solution into your ear or awakened⁶ your sences to a reality thereby⁷ bringing illumination to your life . It is like finding the last piece of jigsaw⁸ puzzle.

This becomes an AHA moment and everything freezes around you as you excitedly try to grasp the practicality of that little but powerful thought .

Your self-confidence and ennthusiasm increase as you become conscious of the great possibilties that can arise if that little thought is acted upon . This becomes the moment to build upon that thought and to write down any ideas that are streaming from that little thought for later review .

Seemingly meaningless little thought or ideas when acted upon have a potential to explode into great projects .

Many successful projects have been born from the little positive thoughts that were carefully nurtured⁹ and recognized as tickets to great things .

You may have heard people say many times that it just came to me in a flash moment , a small idea or seemingly meaningless thought may cross your mind about something you have been planning to accomplish .

Don't waste an opportunity to act on a potenntially brilliant idea . You don't have to wait for a major peers in order for a major idea , a master stratety , or approval from your peers in order for you to act on that little thought .

That little thought or idea is the beginning of great things if you decide to follow it thought .
