Share your ideas with others from "summary" of Think Like a Freak by Steven D. Levitt,Stephen J. Dubner
When you come up with a new idea, the instinct is often to guard it closely, to keep it to yourself until it is fully developed. But what if that is actually the wrong approach? What if, instead, you should share your ideas with others as soon as possible? By sharing your ideas with others, you open yourself up to feedback, criticism, and new perspectives that can help you refine and improve your idea. Others may see things that you have missed, or offer insights that can take your idea to the next level. Sharing your ideas with others can also help you test the validity of your idea. If others can poke holes in your idea or find flaws that you hadn't considered, it may be a sign that your idea needs more work. Furthermore, sharing your ideas can help you build a network of support and collaboration. By involving others in the development of your idea, you can create a team of people who are invested in its success and who can contribute their own skills and expertise to help bring the idea to life. Of course, sharing your ideas with others comes with risks. There is always the possibility that someone will steal your idea or take credit for it themselves. But the benefits of sharing your ideas often outweigh the risks. By being open and generous with your ideas, you can attract like-minded individuals who share your passion and vision, and who can help you turn your idea into a reality. So next time you have a new idea, don't keep it to yourself. Share it with others, invite their feedback, and be open to collaboration. You never know what amazing things can happen when you let go of your idea and let others in.
