One's first step in wisdom is to question everything - and one's last is to come to terms with everything.

A good idea

No matter how good an idea may be, it won’t magically morph into reality. That’s your job.

Wouldn’t it be great if this happened or that happened? Yes, perhaps it would be great, but it’s not going to happen on its own.

A good idea is a good start, but it’s only a start. As compelling as it may be, it will require a lot of help to become real.

Fortunately, because it’s such a good idea, good people will likely be eager to assist in bringing it to life. So flesh out the idea with ample details, work on it yourself, and find others willing to join in the effort.

A good idea can generate plenty of excitement. Make sure that excitement has all kinds of specific ways to be channeled into productive activity.

It’s great to have a good idea. And what’s even better is going through the disciplined process and actually making it happen.
