We all have experienced this issue at the moment of our lives: Maybe you’ll come up with an idea to make you rich. Maybe you feel like you’re coming closer to the dream of “Doing the job you love” that you’ve been expecting for years… Experiences and knowledge are everything when you develop ideas.
Do you think this idea suddenly comes to your mind? Or is it the result of an accumulation of experience? Inspiration is actually quite similar to the idea.
Knowledge is Everything
Many psychologists and sociologists have disagreed about that issue. Some of the psychologists and sociologists claim that inspiration can occur without the effect of experience and knowledge. On the other hand, some of them say that without any experience and knowledge, no idea or inspiration can occur.
Of course, apart from these thoughts, there are also those who tell us that inspiration and ideas are not affected by experience and knowledge, nor do they arise entirely from experience and knowledge.
Musician Case
Let’s consider a musician, for example. This musician wants to inspire himself to compose a song and focus on it. He abolishes himself from all things in life and expects only inspiration. In the end, he gets his patience’s reward and that inspiration comes up.
On the other hand, creating an environment that will allow the emergence of that inspiration and concentrating on that inspiration requires a talent, experience and knowledge. However, every experience cannot reveal inspiration.
Also, patience and perseverance are very important as you will see in this case. Beautiful ideas and inspirations are likely to emerge where patience and perseverance occur.
Entrepreneur Case
Let’s consider a young entrepreneur candidate. This young person will try to unleash an idea from everything he has lived in his life. And why would he behave like this? Because he has perseverance and patience. He has his will and passion. Just like in the case of the same musician. He focuses on a possible need of people, solving their problems. This is a situation that requires effort to focus on a goal.
Result
I mean, ideas and inspiration can be affected in some ways by experience and knowledge. However, this effect can never be 100% or 0%.
