"Oysters, irritated by grains of sand, give birth to pearls. Brains, irritated by curiosity, give birth to ideas."

"Brainpower is the bridge to the future; it is what transports you from wishful thinking to willful doing."

AN INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE ABOUT EXECUTING YOUR IDEA

I came across - rather belatedly - the following interesting perspective about the distinction between an idea & its execution, from Derek Sivers, while surfing the net today:

"To me, ideas are worth nothing unless executed. They are just a multiplier. Execution is worth millions.

Explanation:

AWFUL IDEA = -1
WEAK IDEA = 1
SO-SO IDEA = 5
GOOD IDEA = 10
GREAT IDEA = 15
BRILLIANT IDEA = 20

NO EXECUTION = $1
WEAK EXECUTION = $1000
SO-SO- EXECUTION = $10,000
GOOD EXECUTION = $100,000
GREAT EXECUTION = $1,000,000
BRILLIANT EXECUTION = $10,000,000

To make a business, you need to multiply the two.

The most brilliant idea, with no execution, is worth $20.
The most brilliant idea takes great execution to be worth $20,000,000."

Think about it.

No wonder celebrity success coach Anthony Robbins often said : "The secret to success is taking massive, consistent action."

[Derek Sivers calls himself "a hopeless learning addict, who's endlessly fascinated with the technical/programming/design process". He spends most of his time inventing and re-inventing the code behind his growing company's music distribution websites.]
