Great Ideas and Execution

Many great ideas go unexecuted, and many great executioners are without ideas. One without the other is worthless.
Tim Blixseth

Although this quote is unfortunately worded--executioners?--it is apt. So many people have wonderful ideas. And so many of those dreams never make it to reality. It takes a Thomas Alva Edison to bring ideas to fruition. He was someone with not only a dream, but the guts and gumption to make that vision real.

And then we have the people with the gumption to make dreams come true, but who lack the creativity to conjure up a lofty goal. I suspect these are the people who grind away at boring jobs for twenty or thirty years only to wake up one morning and find their life gone.

The solution? For the idea-less: Buy into someone else's dream and make it your own. For the dreamer: Hire others to wrestle your vision into reality.
