“Ideas by definition are always fragile. If they were resolved, they wouldn’t be ideas. They’d be products ready to ship. I’ve come to learn you have to make an extraordinary effort not to focus on the problems which are implicated with the new idea. These problems are known, they are quantifiable, understood. But you have to focus on the actual idea, which is partial, tentative and unproven. If you don’t actively suspend your disbelief, if you don’t believe there is a solution to the problems, of course you will lose faith in your ideas. That is why criticism and focusing on the problems can be so damaging, particularly in the absence of a constructive idea. Remember, opinions are not ideas, opinions are not as important as ideas, opinions are just…. opinions.”
