Ideas can open doors to a new world

Presentation in the Public Speaking Competition

Ideas are very important to us. With just one single idea we can create a great world.

What are ideas? Ideas are something that comes to your mind creating a new way of thinking.

Let’s analyze the word:

I comes from imagination. Having imagination is one of the most amazing gifts we were endowed and with this little thing called imagination we can create the whole world of an idea.

D is from direction, dedication. We have to know what the ideas are meant for and then we need dedication to fully put it into practice.

E comes from effect. It has to be something able to achieve a completely different effect on the world as doing something different than others and that makes the real difference.

A comes from attitude and that means that having a good attitude you can become stronger and also can make you not give up when you think nobody wants your idea.

In fact, our world began with a single idea. With just one idea, God created a world for us.

That is the first example, but the passing of the years gave us many other examples.

For instance, Christopher Columbus –starting from the idea that the planet was round (even though everyone thought he was crazy), he went to prove that he was right. He had imagination, then direction sailing around the world and, mostly, dedication to fulfill his dream. He changed the world and proved he had attitude to support his idea even though many people discouraged him. At last he succeeded.

Another one is Albert Einstein –with his ideas created a new way of thinking in the world He had the imagination and made everyone see and believe his ideas were right.

But, why not take Mihai Eminescu as an example. With his idea of writing to his lover, he creates a whole world of poem, but, more important is the fact that he opened not only his lover’s heart, but the whole nation’s fondness for his writing. Reading his poems, the people discover the true meaning of love.

Let’s imagine what we can compare ideas with!

An idea may be compared with a bud which turns into a marvelous flower and then into a delicious apple. Ideas are the same. Starting with just one single word, it develops into a full-blown idea. Eventually, it becomes a life changing.

Moreover, we can compare an idea with a poem. You start with just one single word and in no time it becomes a line. Next, a verse and before you know it, you created a truly touching poem.

Ideas are very creative, full of imagination, full of youthful energy. No wonder that kids come up with the most amazing ideas. Just to escape the punishment for stealing cherries from his neighbours’ garden or not helping his mother, we can see Nică from Ion Creangă’s Childhood Memories creating things or discover theories that not even Einstein thought about.

Finally, with the image of glamorous models at the back of our mind, I go on saying that by means of their ideas, people have the power to build lives. They may try to find ways to change the world, but it is up to each of us to pick up the ball and run with it, turning the whole battle of making ideas really work into a battle of wills. Ideas can create, but also destroy things. They can bring peace, but also war. They can bring hate, but also love. Ideas can open “doors” both ways. That’s why, we have to be careful because we can create a new world, a better one maybe, or, in a blink of an eye, we can destroy it. Let’s choose together the right thing!

Let’s combine our ideas, let’s attach our flower buds into just one tree and see them blossoming and making delicious apples. Then we can say we succeeded. Thus, the word IDEA becomes IDEAS with Success as the final reward: a New World where the strongest ideas are real weapons to make the world a better place to live in.
