If you're going to quit your job to focus on an idea, you get overly attached to that idea because you had it, and it's the reason you quit your job. Plus, most ideas are bad.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I often find that having an idea in my head prevents me from doing something else. Working is therefore a way of getting rid of an idea.
My company and people think I'm wacky when I have an idea... I know if I have an idea, no one will want to go through it. But if I persist, people will go through it.
An idea is a point of departure and no more. As soon as you elaborate it, it becomes transformed by thought.
In a rising market, enough of your bad ideas will pay off so that you'll never learn that you should have fewer ideas.
You're abandoning a lot of ideas when you're too into comfort.
Having too many ideas is not always a good thing.
When you come up with a good idea, you don't have to do a whole lot. The idea does it for you.
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.
People ask me, 'Don't you ever run out of ideas?' Well, on the first place, I don't use ideas. Every time I have an idea, it's too limiting and usually turns out to be a disappointment. But I haven't run out of curiosity.
I try to shut out ideas about why you should do things. Trying to do good architecture and really designing a career? There's some attention to be paid to that, but I don't think it's everything.
