good ideas sometimes aren't

Seemed like a good idea at the time, and it probably was.

We all have lots of good ideas. Governments and companies of all sizes have good ideas.

Unfortunately most good ideas don't end up being all that good after all.

There is nothing wrong with that. You learn a little or a lot from it, you recover and your next good idea is tempered by the experience.

Good ideas are not just the ones that work out, they are also the ones that produce any different result than anticipated.

I am writing about this because I thought I had a good idea with my previous post, 'the prepared mind.' However I don't think it is all that good now. I don't think I produced the result I wanted. I don't think it conveyed the idea intended.

That last post should be written again but I will let that wait for another day.

What is really important is that when you have a good idea you should execute it in some way. I find that mulling things over in conversation is an excellent developer of ideas. Conversation draws the lines more clearly around an idea, it gives it more substance.

Be sure to talk about some of your ideas whenever you can, it can be like the knock of opportunity at your door.
