Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric

"Free thinking is the essence of creation." This suggests that if a creation is pure, it remains untainted by anything we have previously learned. While this may appear eccentric to some, it is not necessarily so. New ideas are often initially rejected by the established system, yet they may eventually shape the future of our thought.

Firstly, consider the invention initially deemed irrelevant but which later determined the course of science: the theory of relativity. It was not deemed significant enough for a Nobel Prize, yet Albert Einstein was later honored as the person of the century by TIME magazine, primarily for this theory.

Secondly, the introduction of computers in India faced initial opposition from Indian ministers when proposed by Rajiv Gandhi. Today, however, computers hold a central role in Indian society and are likely the largest contributors to India's GDP.

A significant risk of proposing new ideas that fail is the potential loss of credibility. Therefore, an idea should be thoroughly evaluated for its pros and cons before being presented.

In conclusion, new ideas typically operate outside the bounds of established rules, which can make them seem eccentric. However, the real challenge is not just introducing an idea to society but convincing them of its potential to shape the future of subsequent generations. Thus, instead of fearing being labeled eccentric, one should continuously conceive new ideas and persuade others to embrace them.
