I love reading books on personal development, self-motivation, success stories, how-to and general information. One of the books that I ever read was “The Incomplete Book of Failures” by Stephen Pile. One of the entries in the book was about the world’s most unsuccessful inventor. His name was Arthur Pedrick.

Between the year 1962 to 1977, the man, Arthur Pedrick, patented a total of 162 inventions. However, not one of them was ever produced commercially. His inventions included a bicycle “with amphibious capacity”, a car attachment that would enable a person to drive the car from the back seat, and a golf ball that could be steered in flight. One of his greatest ideas was a method of irrigating the world’s deserts by sending giant snowballs from the polar regions.

No one doubted that he was highly creative. But why did his inventions fail? An idea can only succeed when the self-interest of the creator and the self-interest of the user does not conflict.

How can you make your idea more acceptable?
