It's always the organizations that are resource constrained that come up with the good ideas to win.
Humility, I have learned, must never be confused with meekness. Humility is being open to the ideas of others.
It's ok if others share our ideas as long as they build upon them. It's called progress.
New ideas need audiences like flowers need bees. No matter how bright and colorful, they will die unless others work to spread them
If you want to achieve anything in this world, you have to get used to the idea that not everyone will like you.
Simple ideas are easier to understand. Ideas that are easier to understand are repeated. Ideas that are repeated change the world.
What good is an idea if it remains an idea? Try. Experiment. Iterate. Fail. Try again. Change the world.
The next time someone starts listing all the reasons an idea won't work or can't happen, ask them to give 3 reasons it can.
The best ideas are the honest ones. Ones born out of personal experience. Ones that originated to help a few but ended up helping many.
Follow those who follow something bigger than themselves - an idea, a belief, a vision, a cause. Run away from those who say we need to follow them.
The responsibility of leadership is not to come up with all the ideas but to create an environment in which great ideas can thrive.
We should invest in people not ideas. A good idea is often destroyed by bad people and good people can always make a bad idea better.
Genius is in the idea. Impact, however, comes from action!
The U.S. Constitution protects our privacy from the prying eyes of government. It does not, however, protect us from the prying eyes of companies and corporations.
