More From Dean Kamen

Next came the patent laws. these began in england in 1624; and, in this country, with the adoption of our constitution. before then [these?], any man might instantly use what another had invented; so that the inventor had no special advantage from his own invention. the patent system changed this; secured to the inventor, for a limited time, the exclusive use of his invention; and thereby added the fuel of interest to the fire of genius, in the discovery and production of new and useful things.

The acts of the mind, wherein it exerts its power over simple ideas, are chiefly these three: 1. combining several simple ideas into one compound one, and thus all complex ideas are made. 2. the second is bringing two ideas, whether simple or complex, together, and setting them by one another so as to take a view of them at once, without uniting them into one, by which it gets all its ideas of relations. 3. the third is separating them from all other ideas that accompany them in their real existence: this is called abstraction, and thus all its general ideas are made.
Real Simple Views
If you hear a good idea, capture it; write it down. don't trust your memory. then on a cold wintry evening, go back through your journal, the ideas that changed your life, the ideas that saved your marriage, the ideas that bailed you out of bankruptcy, the ideas that helped you become successful, the ideas that made you millions. what a good review-going back over the collection of ideas that you gathered over the years. so be a collector of good ideas for your business, for your relationships, for your future.
