A fellow came to me and asked if there was a way for him to detect an unidentified caller. He has had several phone conversations with him. He sounded like an acquaintance but he wasn't certain if he was.
I almost responded in a haste. In a manner that would be condescending. Thankfully, I was delayed. I reconsidered his question again. It seemed his question was a similar concern that birthed the Truecaller app. At least, that was where my mind was directed to while rethinking his question.
After telling him how great his question was, he walked away wearing a wild smile even though his phone doesn't have the capacity to run the application.

Great ideas can be born from simple conversations as the one above. It can be an answer to a question that is troubling. It can be a solution to a problem that disturbs.
Be not disinterested or disregard problems, conversations, and unpleasant moments. Most of the time, they are packages of great ideas. Ideas that can change the world. They can be a contribution to a better living experience for humanity while we temporarily inhabit this earth.
Cheers to discoveries yet unheard of as you engage your discomforts from a new perspective!
Post Script: I was compelled to know the history behind Truecaller and found that it aligns to what I thought birthed the idea. Read about what inspired Nani Zarringham and Alan Namedi.
