When trying to think of ideas to creative solve a problem it is easy to believe that whatever solution you came up with is so brilliant that someone else will do it before you. Unless your in the sciences and have a serious discovery that can be patented it is unlikely that whatever idea you came up with is unique. Understanding that ideas are a social construct that need to be shared is important for allowing them to be adopted into the solution to be created.
