When you bring an idea that has no merit to me, and you ask me to comment on it, I'm going to tell you it has no merit.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you come up with a good idea, you don't have to do a whole lot. The idea does it for you.
Every so often in life, you encounter a brilliant idea. Usually, at least in my case, it's somebody else's idea.
A great idea is not enough.
Don't let anyone tell you your ideas are stupid or the thing you feel most passionate about 'won't work' - it's happened to me time and time again, and we find that if you push at what you think is interesting hard enough, you're probably right.
An idea that is not dangerous is not worthy of being called an idea at all.
Let us agree here today to adopt among ourselves a simple and unwritten rule. We will not rise to criticize someone else's idea unless we are prepared to offer an alternative idea of our own.
My ideas tend to arise out of nowhere when I'm not intentionally trying to think of something.
Ideas are nothing. They're irrelevant. If you think your idea is so important, you're doomed. The reality is if you don't like one idea, I've got 299 more. If I tell you my idea, and you can execute better against that idea than I can - great; I get to play a terrific game.
Do not be afraid to offer ideas that draw opposition. Remember, if no one is against your idea, then your idea probably doesn't do anything.
The sufficiency of merit is to know that my merit is not sufficient.
