Quotation

All the great ideas are controversial, or have been at one time.

——George Seldes (1890–1995),  US investigative journalist

Eureka!

——Archimedes (287-212 BC)  ，Greek Mathematician

Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one's ideas, to take a calculated risk - and to act. 

Ideas not coupled with action never become bigger than the brain cells they occupied. 

Ideas must work through the brains and the arms of good and brave men, or they are no better than dreams.

The value of an idea lies in the using of it. 

The man with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds.

Ideas are the beginning points of all fortunes.

Which of these statements do you agree with? Which do you disagree with? Why?

1   There are no new ideas.

2   Most of the best ideas are discovered by accident.

3   Research and development is the key to great business ideas.

4   There is nothing wrong with copying and improving the ideas of others.

5   The best way to kill an idea is to take it to a meeting.
