"It really is intended for everybody. It's easy to pick up and start playing, even if you've never played any games before," says Ville Heijari, Rovio's vice president of public relations, explaining why the game has become so popular. "Not to forget the unique characters, wacky sound design and the seemingly absurd plotline. It really is the total sum of all its parts that makes it a great game."

I have found over the years when our brains, our lives, our businesses, our sales, become stagnant, resulting in an en dless occilation that ends of with the same unacceptable conclusion, that all it takes is the introduction of a few external ideas to break out of the circle. Add a few new ingredients to the mix, and your conclusions will likely be better.
A good way to achieve this is to read about the successes of others. These are some ideas that have worked for others recently. I may be worth a thoughtful read. It isnot that you will necessarily be able to use these ideas directly, but the will probably open your mind up to new ideas of your own.
There are probably no truely new ideas, only ones tha you've never heard, or new ways of stringing them together for a "new" rendition. Itmay be like a new arrangement and a new voice for an old, but popular song.

I have a flare for ideas. It is sometimes a curse.m I am inundated with way more ideas than I can use. I have been employeed in one way or another for my ability to produce new ideas. I can't help it. So it has usually been a blessing. I have always had a steady flow of invention ideas. Only recently have I had the time and where-withall to get back to bringing some of htese ideas to fruition.
Most of my invention ideas come to me as a potential solution to a problem that I or someone close to me experiences. I am a problem solver, so I naturally start thinking of better ways to do things. I recently had a killer idea. To me it appear to be a sure bet. I was right. But I had expended a lot of time and effort designing various prototypes until I designed one that was acceptable.
I was elated and ready to apply for a patent. I did more extensive Internet research for competing patents. This was a mistake only in that I did not do it soon enough, as I uncovered a patent that solved the same problemthat I was working on. And it did it better than mine. I was abit deflated,.although the exercise was gratifying at more levels than a financial payoff.
I have been a professional most of my life. In aq semi-retired status due to health constraints, I have begun to indulge latent talents and works with my hands. I have been teaching myself the machinist craft and have equiped myself with a respectable machine shop.
I t is nice to be able to visualize some mechnical device and then gor make it whether our of wood, plastic, metal, or other materials. It's like magic to me.And it is indulging a portion of my brain that has lng been neglected. I feel that such activities help keep our brains young.
Also, during the process of perfecting my own design, I came up with other spin-off ideas tha may indeed prove to be worthy of patenting. Meanwhile, I have ordered the divice that solved my original problem. I will or course use it. It may serve to remind me to do my research more throughly in the beginning, and it may inspire me to go them one better.

This is a good list of ideas, most or all of them I have played as games to move myself forward. The baby steps idea is oe I have written about many times, but I advocate doing lots of things every day. My livelihood has depended upon it. But it is true that geeting started is the biggest part of the battle. Once you can get moving, it is much easier to keep moving.
I merely commit (to myself) to do one simple step in a series of steps toward a larger project. If I don't just keep going as I usually DO, I commit to another small step. No more. Only very occasionally am I unable to get going full steam. When that does happen, I usually should be home in bed anyway. But it do
The other ideas presented here are simple, but well thought. Try them if you haven't.
