Ideas do not come from watching television but rather from listening to lectures, collisions between different fields of thought, beginner minds, nature, confidence, and sometimes during sleep. Bigger ideas leapfrog mediocre ones and cross borders freely. For an idea to have impact, it must be shared rather than staying hidden alone.

23. An idea must come from somewhere, because
if it merely stays where it is and doesn't join
us here, it's hidden.
And hidden ideas don't ship, have no influence,
no intersection with the market.
They die, alone.
