Exchanging Ideas

Hours we sat around the table, enjoyed our meal and also, exchanging ideas. Not necessary to be something formal, as it can be done through conversations, a chance to bring everyone closer, to know each other better, or maybe not. “No matter how gifted you are, you alone cannot change the world,” a quote from one specific movie. Similarly, does not matter how many ideas we have, we alone are not able to present them in a better way, for the others might have something more creative, or effective. Through speaking, one idea leads to another, creating the so called, ‘chain reaction’. Of all things with our hands laid on, having ideas and sharing them is something reversible, as they are ideas, not actions. Indeed, words are not allowed to be taken back when they escaped from the lips, still, ideas being presented in words are rather different, which are to be shared. We determine what to be said, but our ideas, are up to the listeners, whether to accept it, or not. Therefore, to know one’s ideas, we ourselves must first speak up. So, what are we waiting for?
