+ Unrelated engineer +

+

+ This is collect of thoughts after I travel around the Internet. Not + engineering related though. +

+

+ Give it five minutes +

+
+

+ There are two things in this world that take no skill: 1. Spending other + people’s money and 2. Dismissing an idea. +

+

+ Dismissing an idea is so easy because it doesn’t involve any work. You + can scoff at it. You can ignore it. You can puff some smoke at it. + That’s easy. The hard thing to do is protect it, think about it, let it + marinate, explore it, riff on it, and try it. The right idea could start + out life as the wrong idea. +

+

+ So next time you hear something, or someone, talk about an idea, pitch + an idea, or suggest an idea, give it five minutes. Think about it a + little bit before pushing back, before saying it’s too hard or it’s too + much work. Those things may be true, but there may be another truth in + there too: It may be worth it. +

+
