Ideas worth showing

If you haven't lived under a rock for the last years you probably know TED and their slogan...."Ideas worth spreading". This is one of the things which makes humans so special I think and it is a big part of our culture. For hundreds of years we have been sharing our ideas and storys with each other. It gives us joy, a sense of fulfillment and connection to one another.

However, sometimes exactly this feeling can be very tempting. When we want to take our ideas to the next step and make them real, it is very easy to keep talking to a lot of people about it. You start living inside your head, thinking and feeling like you got closer to putting it out into the world. While in reality the real world did not see any physical change.

On the other hand you have to share your idea with your fellow human beings. How else will you know if it really serves them or if there is even a better way to realize your thought. Almost everything is much easier to accomplish in a team.

I can't give you a perfect answer to this problem. At the most I can give some recommendations, a set of restrictions which could serve you well.

• Find a small group of people with whom you can share your ideas with. Who have the right set of skills and knowledge to give you advice and insight. Who know what you care about, your personal value system, your world view and your vision.

• share your idea with them and only with them!

• show the rest of the world your idea!
