To become great, an idea is all it takes.
Any project is like a tree.
The first inkling of an idea is the seed.
The material required to realize it(people,funding,technology) is the water,soil and sunlight for the seed.
The planting of the idea into peoples heads is the firm hold that roots take over the soil.
The manipulation of the idea to make it feasible and conceivable is the growth of the tree.
The first hints of progress are the leaflets that start taking birth.
And once these small victories take place they infuse the entire project with their bursts of oxygen via photosynthesis.
Once the project starts to somewhat take the shape of the original idea,we have the main trunk of the tree.
The various new smaller offshoots of the project-work become the branches to the tree.
And finally when the idea has materialized into a full fledged project,we have our blossoming tree and its success is shown by the freshness of the tree and all the perks of the project are represented by the fruits borne by the tree.
So that's what I feel an idea is........................a seed to bear the fruits of success.
And the entire success story starts with that one little smidgen of an idea which contains within itself a massive opportunity to grow and enthrall and succeed.
All it needs is careful,disciplined and affectionate nurturing.
And as the great Steve Jobs once said:" you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards".
So the success of the tree can only be measured backwards;trust in your idea and have confidence and belief that something,somehow,sometime will work out and you will have your own tree to be proud of!
