The message of "you're okay" is one of the most powerful ones we have.
To be accepted in the bosom of whatever people we are with.
It's a message of assurance and safety and acceptance.
A child can come to physical harm, and if his/her parents are there with the message of "you're okay", they will survive and thrive.
(This message of "you're okay" is different from a message of "you're okay, don't cry" (the former being strengthening, the latter being weakening).
However if a child gets a message from their parents counter to "you're okay", the child need not come to any harm- they will still flounder and fail.

Relationships are a well-woven lie, created to perpetuate the human race.
Things in Life are so much easier when you do them for the enjoyment of doing them.
The fearful use violence to protect themselves. Those that have violence used against them become fearful.

If she's amazing, she won't be easy. If she's easy, she won't be amazing.
If she's worth it, you won't give up. If you give up, you're not worthy...
Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones
worth suffering for

Product, Commercial
A force-measurement pad that is made as a sheath for normal punching bags in order to upgrade them into punching bags that
register and display force-applied data. A digital display @ the top of the punching bag,
or remotely displayed (via. a cord coming through the top of the "sheeth", or via wi-fi).
The business plan would be to see if these are mass-producably viable @ a reasonable end-price for the consumers,
Then to market the product to gyms, and given success with this, to pursue the general consumer.

I thought I had posted this, but apparently I was saving it in case I wanted to pursue it.
Title: "Community Art"
Synopsis:
A non-profit "one-man" operation that facilitates the process/system of people of a community creating art
for each-other, with the intended end-result of creating a stronger community.
Quite simple really; A person, or couple, set up a stand at a farmer's market, and sell art only made by members of the "community"*
only to members of that "community"*. "Customers" must provide proof that they are a member of said "community"* (with License or Library card, etc.).
Initial sources of art can be from students and senior citizens.
The prices of the works of art are substantially just amounts to cover the cost of production of the art.
It's important that there is a distinction between "crafts" and "art", and "crafts" should never be distributed through this system.
Pieces are labeled with the name of the artist, and the road they live on.
Messages to the artist / from the artist go through the non-profit,
with messages to those under 18 read by the non-profit, then given to the parents first.
*The "community" is a zone that is small enough that a community spirit can truly be created from it.
Basically, a medium-sized suburb will be partitioned into "zones" of, for example, 1000 people.
This is working under the premise that most "towns" are too large to allow the creation of a true community spirit/soul.
I have this more elaborated on in one of my note pads.
-------------------------------------
The following 2 ideas are rooted in the premise of the importance of gaining conceptualization
for a society- having an idea understood and accepted as an idea for a people.
---------
Commercial, social, Alternative energy
(This idea is about 7 or 8 years old, but I think it would still be "successful")
A "product" that aims at giving solar energy greater common marketability through increased general awareness, acceptance, and support.
So the product is a simple device that is installed on a solar panel system, on the outside of a home. The device is a bell (actual, not digital),
that chimes a pleasant tone every time the panel creates an increment of power.
(Say, for example, enough power to power 5 household lights for one day. Something easily conceptualized, and will provide an average "ringing"
of at least a few times a day, given the locale (New England vs Southern California), but not so much as to be annoying to the neighbors).
This promotes the solar panel system to the owner, and to his/her neighbors, passively spreading awareness, acceptance, and ideally, support, throughout
the populace.
-----------
Commercial, Social, Alternative Energy
(This idea is about 7 or 8 years old, but I think it would still be reasonably "successful")
The creation of a locale within the U.S.A. focused on promoting, and strengthening the evolution of, "Alternative Energy".
---
Initial Realization:
A locale established within the Western United States, conducive to wind and solar power, that hosts periodic "competitions"
for "all forms of alternative energy".
The area of land must be expansive and surrounded with cheap land to allow for easy expansion.
Have standard classes (e.g., wind power, solar power, wave/tidal harnessing) for competitions,
as well as classes of competitions for creative, innovative designs for harnessing renewable energy.
Post all videos online as promotion for the "contestants" and for the events & venue.
Make the time of competition festive, but not over-the-top festive.
---
End Goal:
To eventually become "The Captital of Alternative Energy"; THE meeting place and "center" for all things "Alternative Energy" within the U.S.A..
I have more specifics and elaborations in one of my notepads.
