Will it work?
25 Jan
Everyone has some idea of their own, be it a brilliant business plan or an ingenious way to turn off the lights from their bed. If you have problems coming out with ideas, you should read this post from Seth Godin about fear of bad ideas. You need to come up with lots of bad ideas before you find one that’s good.
Having an idea is the first and last step for many. Some people are so protective of their ideas that they miss the chance to improve and get feedback on it. An idea is nothing until you turn it to reality.
To me, ideas are worth nothing unless executed. They are just a multiplier. Execution is worth millions. - Derek Sivers
Knowing all that, working on an idea takes enormous effort and often requires an unhealthy dose of optimism. If your friends, family and cat start questioning your sanity, you are probably on the right track. No one knows if it will work out or not, so the best way to find out is to try it.
Every really new idea looks crazy at first. – Alfred North Whitehead
If you have some ideas you been wanting to try, stop worrying if they will work out or not and start focusing on their execution.
I agree with this. Yes I think Seth Godin mentioned to come out with bad ideas in all his books. Bad idea is better than no idea.
i like and agree this post because i had a lot of those what everyone say bad ideas, some are executed, some are abandoned
but like seth godin say and julian quote ‘bad idea is better than no idea’

I love this one very much.
@julian, rob: yea especially when the turnover to try something is getting lower n lower, there is almost no excuse to not try it. Unless your idea is to build a better space shuttle.
@dinoza: i’m sure you have some crazy ideas hehe.
Haha, dino have a TON of crazy ideas. Have to meet up with him again to catch up & see what new things he getting himself into lately. Hehe.
a good idea came out from a collection of bad ideas … kekeke
@julian Yeap, it’s only after you hit the wall enough that you’ll come across an idea something that’s freaking awesome. But your head will hurt for a while. LOL.
The hardest part is to decide if an idea is bad or not. We are normally too attached our ideas that we fail to see it’s flaw
