When do you get your best ideas?

Do they come when things are very loud or do the ideas come when you are in a time of silence?

For those of you who do not like silence, I’d like you to consider this quote by William S. Burroughs, he stated; “Silence is only frightening to people who are compulsively verbalizing.”

For those of you who think silence is inferior to other actions, consider what Lao Tzu said; “Silence is a source of Great Strength.”  

Before I conclude I would like to share a quote with you that was just made aware to me. It is by Geoffrey M. Gluckman. It is, “Feel your emotions, Live true your passions, Keep still your mind.”

Now to conclude; if you are not getting new ideas on a regular basis and you must be living a hectic life, doesn’t it make sense to go into the silence and listen to the whispers?
