Sometimes it's just not practical to go through the effort of creating a new solution when an existing solution will do the job almost as well. - Tim Hurson

When you try to generate ideas, think of yourself as a sales person knocking on a whole subdivision of doors. Some won't open at all, some will open a suspicious crack, and some will slam in your face. But the more doors you knock on, the greater your chances of being invited in.

If things weren't messy, or getting messy, there would be no discontent, and you wouldn't need productive thinking in the first place.

Ideas are mutable. They are always capable of growing. Each time we look at them, we can see something new. We just need to give ourselves permission to do so.
