Innovation - How to become an Inventor?

Innovation:  There are multiple drivers for innovations. An invention can be either Driven by specific problem statement Driven by passion  Driven by sense of giving back to the society  Driven by gaps in the existing system Driven by need of the time and so on. Everyday there are so many things happening around us. If you are a good observer you can identify a problem which is a general problem or any specific problem.  General problem are easy to observed by most of the people but only few people are able to identify specific problem in surrounding or in any existing system. If a person is able identify the specific problems and able to think on solving it. It will lead to inventing the new methods of doing the thing in better way or address the problem. Observation is one of the quality for inventors!! So try to observer the situations around you and think on solving if there are any problems.
