For those who keep hiding their ideas for themselves.For those who think that ideas must be kept and locked in
basements.
For those who can't escape this feeling that someone will steal their idea.
For those who think that people who share their idea are stupid.
You are wrong.
Keep you idea to yourself and it will die, share it, let it breath, and it will prove itself.
Idea-a-day.com is a great site that shares ideas. Publish an idea and people reads it. I'm already subscribed (thanks Seth). It feels really good to read those brilliant ideas!
The era of keeping everything top secret is over. I used to be like this. Share your idea let people feel it, build a prototype and send it for free.
From the Holy Quran:
اهم يقسمون رحمة ربك نحن قسمنا بينهم معيشتهم في الحياة الدنيا ورفعنا بعضهم فوق بعض درجات ليتخذ بعضهم بعضا سخريا ورحمت ربك خير مما يجمعون
"Is it they who apportion thy Lord's mercy? We have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of the world, and raised some of them above others in rank that some of them may take labour from others; and the mercy of thy Lord is better than (the wealth) that they amass."
Great post! another site to keep me busy. I wholeheartedly agree with this post. This is a scientist's way of thinking where social progress comes first before personal gain.
ReplyDeleteI got this site from one of Seth Godin books.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, I don't like to think how I could make the money at first (though most marketers say this is wrong) but I like to deliver something remarkable.
