Ive never had an original idea in my whole life. Someone else always beats me to it.
Sounds like you are fishing, with a great big treble hook.
At least you had the idea. Some wouldn’t recognize an idea if it landed on them. So what if its 30 seconds after the other guy. Probably doesn’t much matter in the scheme of things. It’s what you do with it.
Lots of shared Nobel prizes for scientific discovery, and I’ll just bet the timing was not exactly the same.
Then again, look at Mr Idea man, your President. Want to be like him? Talk about last one to the table without a clue why he’s there.
Like they say, there is nothing new in the world today. It’s all been invented before. I figure my strength is to use whatever ideas that are available and put them to the best use I can.
