Incubator,
according to the Cambridge Advanced Learners Dictionary is ‘a container that has controlled air
and temperature conditions in which a weak or premature baby can be kept alive.’
The word has another meaning in
relation to birds. It also is ‘a device
for keeping birds' eggs at the correct temperature to allow young birds to
develop until they break out of the shell.’
Let us generalize the sense of the word as a
device that can control air and temperature in which any premature living
creature can be kept alive until it fully develops.
Incubate is the verbal form of the word. The same dictionary
defines this verb as, ‘When a bird, etc. incubates its eggs, it keeps them warm
until the young come out, and when eggs incubate, they develop to the stage at
which the young come out.’
Hence incubate is the process in which the living creature is kept
warm throughout the developing stage until the full grown young come out.
‘Incubate our thoughts’ is the process in which our new thoughts,
ideas, dreams and the like are kept in a container that can control certain
conditions, keeps it warm and alive until is full grown to come out.
Every new thought is a premature
baby.
The characteristics of a premature baby are:
1.
Immature
2.
Prone to infections
3.
Survival is at risk
4.
Need a specified period for full growth.
5.
Need special care till it reach the full grown
stage.
Innovative ideas are not impulses of a moment.
The birth of an innovative idea may be from an impulse or sudden thought or a
dream. Impulses and flashing thoughts are only premature babies that need to be
placed in an incubator.
No sudden thoughts should be presented as an
innovative idea. Every new thought must go through a process of transformation
into an innovative idea.
Like the sun rays, moonshines, rain and heat
transforms the nature and man, every thought is to be transformed by lessons
learnt in the life. Expose every new thought to lessons learnt from both
victories and failures. Let the experiences and lessons from the past life to
work upon the thought and transform it into an innovative idea.
No new thoughts must be announced at the
rooftop before it is transformed by time and experience. It needs to be
sharpened, cut, chiseled and polished like a diamond.
This transformation demands:
1.
Patience
2.
Willingness to accept transformations
3.
nonbiased attitude
Leave your thoughts to the process of transformation
for a period without interfering. Your small interference will affect the
natural transformation of the thought. Your interference is a bias that hinders
the free transformation.
Before we declare our new thoughts, we need to
put it in the incubator for transformation, because every thought of any person
affects him and the whole humanity.
