You must have noticed that often people say to you something,you know they are absolutely right,yet you don't pay heed to them and you ignore them.Then one day you meet someone who says to you the same thing,and this time it sinks in your mind and you decide to follow it.
This happened to me two or three days back.I started a discussion and my friend @trivia79 responded to it.I commented back and then followed a thread.He said to me that often an interaction here gives us an idea for a discussion.
What he had said was not new to me.Many more friends had also said to me the same thing earlier,but don't know why this time I was impressed.I thanked him for the idea he had given to me and promised to him that I will soon initiate a discussion on the idea.
Today I am delivering on the promise I had made to my friend @trivia79.I have got this idea from my interaction with him.
How about you?Have you ever got an idea from a desultory interaction?

@aarifa,Any action is desultory which lacks a plan,enthusiasm or purpose.Here what we interact with each other,it often lacks plan.Often it goes astray.Just like we gossip with our friends.From such an unplanned interaction,we often get an idea for a new discussion.....Hope you got me,didn't you?

@hema7213,Yes,I know.You share in your discussions about the websites you create,the movies you watch,the functions you participate in etc etc.You have your activities to share here,but there are many like me who often lack ideas on which to create a discussion.What I want to convey through my discussion is that sometimes when we don't have ideas,we can find ideas from our interaction with our friends here.Interaction may sometimes become a source of ideas.

We can have as many ideas and as many discussions posted but we actually have to initiate interaction if we have to so we can engage them in interacting with us..

@epiffanie,Right.And interaction is what matters here.We can start discussions,but can't earn from it.We earn when someone responds to it.To make others respond to our discussions,we need to engage them in interacting with us,as you have written.If others don't interact with us,we won't earn.

I have, and sometimes an idea takes awhile to germinate. It might not have been ready earlier, whereas now it is

@Jessicalynnt,Do you mean to say that you now have had an idea from your interaction with someone here?

@Jessicalynnt So far I have been getting ideas from my experiences.This one is the only discussion the idea of which is derived from my interaction with my friend.

Your friend was right... Many times I've gotten an idea for a post after reading something someone else wrote about
