Whenever somebody comes up with a good idea, there's somebody else who has never had a good idea in his life who stands up and says, Oh, you can't do that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Acting on a good idea is better than just having a good idea.
It is much better to have just one idea, and if the idea is clear, then you can fight for it. That is how you can get things done.
The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.
Every so often in life, you encounter a brilliant idea. Usually, at least in my case, it's somebody else's idea.
You just have to trust your instincts and hope that if someone doesn't like your idea, you can prove them wrong in the final process. In the end, you can please some of the people some of the time, but that's about all you can do.
It is wise to persuade people to do things and make them think it was their own idea.
The really good idea is always traceable back quite a long way, often to a not very good idea which sparked off another idea that was only slightly better, which somebody else misunderstood in such a way that they then said something which was really rather interesting.
Having too many ideas is not always a good thing.
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.
When you come up with a good idea, you don't have to do a whole lot. The idea does it for you.
