To continue the metaphor, you've got two choices: write a script, or buy the rights to a script that excites you. It's good that you're excited by the prospect of selling the product/project, and not by the code itself. Projects that are driven by a love of the underlying technology rarely solve other people's problems effectively, and that's what it's all about. Don't focus too much on "the promise of welfare and respect" or wanting to "make a lot of money and be wealthy"-- it's easy to get too self-involved that way. The trick is to focus outwards-- to identify a problem that some group of people are having, and find a way to solve it for them. Relieve the suffering of others-- that's the surest way to gain welfare and respect. You say you've filtered over 50 ideas. That's a good start. You might have to go through 500, though. That's the way it goes, sometimes. Fortunately for you, there's a lot of suffering out there, calling out for solutions. From where I sit, it's not such a complicated puzzle at all, really. It's a pretty straightforward puzzle. That doesn't make it easy, of course. But you didn't think it would be, did you?
