> Facing the fact that ideas are ten a penny
I've heard this before from inventors. It's the work you put in to realize the idea, they say. But they're inventors. They have a lot of ideas. Average people don't have a lot of ideas. Can we at least appreciate when we come up with an idea?
- dfee 4y agoIt’s vanity. Once you figure out how to come up with ideas, it’s really easy to have them - always and everywhere. But that’s really the first stage of the funnel. I don’t believe quality of ideas is even most useful, but instead your flexibility in refining the idea to pump it through the funnel listed above. Getting attached to an idea, and especially celebrating the having of an idea, is useless. Numerous metaphors here that others can bore us with, but don’t get distracted by realizing you can think: start actually thinking instead.
