Successful and powerful men and women become so by having one ingenious idea. That’s all it takes to make and, quoting Gandhi, be the difference they wish to see in the world.
One idea.
Dr Martin Luther King shared his dream that one day he would live in a world where his children will be judged not on the colour of their skin but the content of their character. Mandela realised the ideal of equality between the races, the one of which he is prepared to die, comes through forgiving the people who put him in 27 years of prison rather than seeking revenge.
Less symbolic but just as relevant is the likes of Bill Gates whose idea of Microsoft forevermore secures his position as one of the world’s richest men. Or how about that guy Mark Zuckerberg who set up a website to connect with his Harvard friends. That site otherwise known as Facebook is now used by some 500m+ people globally.
It all begins with one thought that turns into a grand vision and then before we know it, we wonder just how we got through our days without it.
Ladies and Gentlemen here is my idea. Wigs for big heads. At the same cheap prices as the generic ones. It is time that people can go on party websites and buy wigs that are just 'one size fits all' but actually come in ranges of small, medium, large and so on? Even better how about wigs that stretch out to a specific size?
I'm sure somewhere in custom-made, expensive land, such wigs made from real hair exists but I'm talking about the normal, cheap everyday designs that comes in various colours, ideal for dressing up. Why should people with big heads have to pay more just to enjoy sporting a new hairstyle and colour along with the rest of their friends.
One size fits all is like the eternally cruel joke in being a size 14 trousers in nine out 10 stores but low and behold number ten is where you struggle in getting the denim past your thighs.
When it comes to our heads, there’s no fitness regime, no gym sessions, cutting out carbs, drinking protein shakes or doing the Special K two week, drop a jeans size diet to lose inches off our heads. The only solution is to shave off our hair and possible lose a centimetre or two.
Even if that is a plausible solution, I bet my head will still be too big for one size fits all. As well as being blessed with plenty of thick hair, I just have a naturally big shaped head. Dad still maintains that it’s because I was delivered via Caesarean and not pushed through the birth canal. (Go figure.)
I can’t believe I wasted money on something that didn’t even cover three quarters of my head.
No, careful planning and thinking time is needed in order to turn this (admittedly daft) idea into a life changing (and money making) success.
You may laugh now but like the journalism saying there is no such thing as a stupid question, and while it will not put me way up their with the Kings, Gandhis and Mandelas of the world, there is no such thing as a completely silly idea.
Calling all the physically big-headed people out there – who’s with me?
