The biggest discoveries and revolutions in history always stem from very small ideas and situations. While reading some pages on the web today, I found this piece of writeup on a certain website that caught my attention

A Tea Launches a Revolution
The Women’s Rights Movement marks July 13, 1848 as its beginning. On that sweltering summer day in upstate New York, a young housewife and mother, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, was invited to tea with four women friends. When the course of their conversation turned to the situation of women, Stanton poured out her discontent with the limitations placed on her own situation under America’s new democracy. Hadn’t the American Revolution had been fought just 70 years earlier to win the patriots freedom from tyranny? But women had not gained freedom even though they’d taken equally tremendous risks through those dangerous years. Surely the new republic would benefit from having its women play more active roles throughout society. Stanton’s friends agreed with her, passionately. This was definitely not the first small group of women to have such a conversation, but it was the first to plan and carry out a specific, large-scale program.

The above is amazing, isn’t it?

This reminds me of similar situations where a small incident has lead to something very big. See the examples below;

An apple falls on Sir Isaac Newton’s head while he was in his orchard and he questions why the apple didn’t fall upwards. This simple incident lead to laws about gravity, which have a very great impact on science today.

Archimedes, the guy who discovered something as easy and simple as the screw, also made basic laws on density, mass and volume after spilling water from his bath and running outside naked.

I wish I hope more examples at hand, and also hope you get the point. Never turn down someone’s idea(s) simply because you think they are dump or out of time. Don’t get a shock the day you realize the future of the planet depends on the validation of the dumbest thing you have ever heard.
