BIG idea vs big IDEA

What is your big idea? You do not have one? I do not believe that.

When most people think of the term "big ideas", they think of ideas that made it big. These are the BIG ideas.

But, I am more interested in those ideas that appear with big letters in your head. They make your eyes blink. These are the big IDEAS.

While BIG ideas capture the headlines, it is big IDEAS that capture the imagination. Just because you might not see right from start how an IDEA can become BIG, it does not make it less interesting. At least for you. And that is what matters.

So, what is your big idea?

I wouldn’t share my big ideas (so far I have 2, whoopie) and I think most people feel the same if they’re really onto something. I could share some of my more mediocre ones, though. :-)

I used to think that. I’ve no changed my mind.

Was it Steve Jobs that said not to worry about ideas being stolen? Something to the effect of:

Don’t worry that someone might steal your idea. If it’s really important, you’ll have to shove it down peoples throats anyway.
