I think that conventional should always be a FALLBACK. Conventional is safe and I think safe should always be Plan B.
I don’t think anyone should be scared to take a risk and go with their gut feelings. People shouldn’t be afraid of failing or putting their ideas out to the world. As people always say “Let your creative juices flow” and the worst thing that could happen to you is someone saying “No”. That’s the way I look at it, that is all that could possibly happen.
Don’t get me wrong conventional isn’t all that bad but it’s boring, there’s no excitement to it. I know people tend to go with what they are comfortable with and what they know. Which is good in a way, because then you know your result every time and no harm will come of it.
But the problem is if you stick to conventional then you never take chances in life and what fun is that in the end. So I say let conventional be the fallback position and take a chance now and again.

"Nothing is more dangerous than an idea when you only hae one idea" (Alain)
“Nothing is more dangerous than an idea, when you only have one idea” (Alain). I fully agree with this statement. Think about it.
Well an idea is a great things, your ideas is what sets you apart from the rest of the world. Almost everything that exists in our world today is derived from ideas from man. Car’s, airplanes, buildings, medicine all the outcomes of ideas. Fantastic isn’t it, makes you think.
Now let’s to the part where the ideas become dangerous. The way I see it this can be very dangerous. What if that one idea was war and violence? This makes me think about Hitler and other historical tyrants who ran their countries with one idea in mind.
Scary stuff. This is obviously where one idea becomes dangerous because if that is all you see, that is all that you are going to want and human beings are determined to get exactly what they want.
So definitely ideas are great, Good things come from good ideas definitely, but when there’s one idea and nothing to counter it, that’s when it becomes dangerous

Andy Warhol said;"In the future everybody will be famous for 15 minutes" - You can't choose the 15 Minutes but why would you be world famous
15 MINUTES? Okay should I start getting excited now or later? I know that sounds a bit sarcastic to say the least but really only 15 minutes, that’s not really a lot of time. Well if that’s all the time we have to be world famous it better be good.
World Famous – imagine the whole world knowing your name and your face and knowing you for what you have done. That would be great and a truly life changing experience.
Well I can’t think of anything that I would be world famous for really, but it definitely won’t be singing or acting or anything in that line(15 minutes won’t be worth it in any case), but I would hope that I would be famous for making someone less fortunate, maybe making a difference in someone or people’s lives. That would be something worth being famous for, even if it is just for 15 minutes.
I know this sounds a bit overrated but its true what better could there be to be famous for than helping others and making a difference in the world that we live. I know I’ll be proud of that and I’m sure my family and friends will be as well. And imagine if we all decided that we wanted to be world famous for this reason. We could change the world.
