What If Nobody Cares About Your Ideas?
Ignore Everyone and Start Building
Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot, but make it hot by striking. – William Butler Yeats
Hey you,
I’ve watched you for a while.
You’ve been looking behind your shoulder, searching for approval in the faces of people around you.
You want them to say That’s a genius idea before you start.
How long will you keep doing this?
Waiting Holds You Back
Every truth passes through three stages: first, it is ridiculed; second, it is violently opposed; third, it is accepted as self-evident. – Arthur Schopenhauer
It’s a cliche.
Me telling you that the best ideas were hated at the beginning.
So I won’t tell you that.
I’ll just tell you the plain truth-
An idea is a concept that’s born of emotions and dreams.
They come together.
