My fav secret: think like a child – children have no limit to their thinking - Paul Polak via Nextbillion

Why do I believe in this secret?

-------------------------------

A child’s brain is completely new and open so as Social Innovator should be open minded and crystal clear in his objectives and solutions.

A child gets the maximum from its parents and others by either a smile or a cry so as a social innovator should be influencing its associate members and gets the
maximum possible productivity ( E) out of its resources ( m ) , In simple terms
he should achieve the maximum productivity as given by Einstein’s equation
E=mC^2.

When you give two chocolates to a child, it takes all the two. Eats one of them immediately and holds another one for later time. Similarly, a social innovator should find
innovative solutions to immediate challenges and future foreseen challenges.

When a child is hungry, it never waits for anyone but start giving its signals. Similarly, a social innovator should address the challenges all the times by means of
continuous innovations rather than relying upon a single innovative solution.

A child never takes critics ( as he doesn’t know what a critic is?) and keeps its determination level very high so achieve the target, say to get a chocolate
from his mother. Similarly, a social innovator should never be down by critics.
Be positive and keep its energy and determination to the highest possible
level.

The above mentioned skills may also be similar to a normal innovator. But what makes an innovator become a social innovator? May be, we can find it out from the
following example:

When there is a fight between child and his mother, what does a child do? It goes and hugs his mother with a human touch. Similarly, a social innovator should find
innovative solutions with a human touch by putting him in the shoes of the end
users. It should cater value addition to all the aspects including social
status and make them self sufficient. And the solutions should be as simple as
showing love through a hug and a smile.

To put to the end of this post,

Everybody loves their childhood and wants to live as a child always. Similarly, a social innovator should be a role model and place his marks as a great leader also.
