I Could Totally Do That

Someone else took your idea. You’ve been talking about it for years. That’s your thing. I can’t believe she said what I’ve been saying for years, and now she’s got a book. I could totally do that.

You probably had this idea, too:

The difference between you having an idea and what they’ve done is that they’ve executed. If you’re not executing, you’re talking about doing something. Big difference. If you’ve missed over 20 years of Tom Peters in any format, that’s what he says. He’s been totally saying it for 20 years.

Kudos for the creativy and perseverence and all, but I totally agree with Mary here. What a waste of talent and resources.

Bible tells that in life whenever there comes a situation when you get in to some sad memory,then just think of it that “This shall to pass”.Nothing is permanent in life and bad memories also get out of our life soon.Just keep trust and faith in God.

I dunno – not only did other people (Rube Goldberg for starters) already had the idea, they've executed it too (and well):

Maybe the premise should be that some ideas are so good they can tolerate a few people having them…?

I hope the 'cool factor' of the video doesn't overshadow the importance of what Chris said: Ideas have no value. The myriad things you do after that (as noted, the execution) is what creates value. That is why the same idea for a business can produce different outcomes when executed differently- Heck, the same business can be owned by two different teams and create different value outcomes.
