Very nicely written. ideas flow perfectly. examples are good

The best ideas arise from a passionate interest in commonplace things Indeed, ordinary matters can arouse one’s emotions, leading to the creation of extraordinary products. Passionate interests can be assumed as talent. Everyone has different passions, thus, different talents in the world. In particular, these are seen with artists, musicians, and inventors, who seem especially interested and driven by various ordinary stimuli. The product that comes out of these are their works of art, music, and inventions, all of which are inspired by seemingly mundane tribulations. One such iconic figure today who made millions converting everyday struggles into works of art is Taylor Swift. It is said that each of her song is inspired by her relationships with men. For example, the song “we are never ever ever getting back together” describes her final sentiments about a relationship that keeps bouncing in and out of a breakup while “blank space” describes the craziness that would come from jealousy as a result of insecurity. Obviously, relationships are hard and create a different mix of emotions for everyone. These emotions can be expressed in many different ways but for Taylor Swift, her passionate interest, or talent, enables her to write songs about them. Similarly, Beethoven wrote beautiful and timeless piano music to express his emotions towards commonplace things. For instance, his “Moonlight Sonata” is inspired by the moon while his piece fast paced piece “rage over a lost penny” is inspired by such. To the layman, the moonlight and a lost penny don’t really stir much emotions and are usually unexciting events in one’s humdrum life. But for Beethoven, such matters stirred his passionate interests and, with his music writing talent, allowed him to create masterpieces. Not everyone can do what he did. The ‘best ideas’ can also arise from passionate interests created by need. One day, someone became tired of walking, washing the dishes and clothes by hand, and having to heat up food through the stove. The emotions created by these ‘commonplace things’ enabled the inventor to create the carriage, dishwasher, washing machine, and microwave, respectively. One of the greatest invention of our time is the lightbulb by Thomas Edison. One can assume that he really wanted to use a device more efficient than candlelight to maneuver his way through the dark. Thus, came his beautiful product, after countless trial and error. It may seem that before these inventions, no one had ever been hassled by such commonplace things as doing daily chores and whatnot. But some people, inventors, came along and, with their passions, produced some of the best ideas that would forever benefit mankind. Many people exemplify the idea that passion creates beautiful products inspired by ordinary mundane things. We can see this through the work of artists, musicians, and inventors. They have special interests where the layman may not. It is crucial that they exist because without them, human kind would not progress and advance in its evolution.
