IDEO Question: Does This Make My Backside Look Big?

I've never asked that question of anyone seriously.

I don't know if that's because I've never worried about my figure, or if it's because of upbringing - My mother never worried about her figure.

I think the fact that question even exists as a stereotypical cliched term is a sure indication to the fascination we have, as a society, about appearance.

Just because I never asked the question doesn't mean no one else does. Many people do, that's why it's stereotypical.

My reaction to this question is: Who Cares?

Who honestly cares?

If you want to feel good about yourself just do it. If you think your backside looks big then either 1. Live with it, or 2. Don't wear the thing you think is making your butt look big.

If you don't feel happy wearing something, if you are going to be paranoid that people will talk about you then honestly and truly just wear something you are happy in. SERIOUSLY.

I also get that there are people with mental alterations that make them think they are fatter than they are, and I am so blessed that I am not of that frame of mind. But to those people, I say this, life is honestly too beautiful, too interesting and (cliche) too short to care about whether your butt looks big. No one else cares, and if they do then they don't really matter too much in your life. And they are rather pathetic for using something so ridiculous to ridicule someone.

Bottom line... no one cares. Neither should you.

How Do You Get Great Ideas?

Ideo are a design company that I hold in high regard. If Fabrica would ever reply to me I would be applying for jobs with them... or doing my masters in design writing in New Yoik.

Anyway.

I just downloaded a widget that asks a new question every day.

Today's question is: How do you get great ideas?

The grammar seems a little incorrect, but who am I to judge?

My thoughts are: that great ideas are not gotten. They do not just appear. They are not something that wakes you up in the middle of the night and by morning you are done masterminding your ideas.

A great idea is something that grew from an idea.

I'm going to use a quick and partially appropriate metaphor. It is like (or a simile if you're Ed Byrne) the Great Wall of China. It is great. It started with an idea, it started with a thought, it started with one brick, and one pair of hands, followed by many thousands of others. There was one person though that laid the first stone/brick.

And then as the chinese proverb says 'Many hand make right wolk.'

That's what an idea is. It's not something forced, and more importantly it comes from the want to fulfill and need (rather than the need to fulfill a want).

That is how great ideas come to be. From one thought, that is built on over time, and developed by other people to the point of it becoming great. More than likely your 'Great Idea' will far succeed your own meandering existence.
