If you focus on what people care about, you have ideas. And people are looking for solutions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A lot of people in the technology space love the idea of a solving a problem.
It's always overwhelming when you get a nice response to something, because you really invest in these projects, and you can't help but really care what other people think.
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.
I wish somebody had given me the news that ideas don't just fall on your head like fairy dust. You have to treat that like a job. You have to spend hours each day, where you're just like, 'This is the part of the day when I'm looking for an idea.'
Usually my ideas for work have revolved around my interest in people, especially people that live on the edges of society.
What interests me is seeing a problem and doing something about it, not all of the stuff around it.
An interest in ideas is a sign of human life. People are fascinated by what the future is going to be - and the future is going to be an accumulation of ideas.
I think a lot of people may have a unique insight or some idea that they feel could be a great solution for a particular problem, but for some reason never have a chance to try or never have the courage or maybe the self-doubt. Really, it's best just to remain naive and continue to work on things and see if people have the same problems.
Serious-minded people have few ideas. People with ideas are never serious.
Most people have their best ideas when they take their minds away from problems they're trying to solve.
