  • The idea that “if I can think of an idea, others have thought of it too.”
  • In fact, there are many.
    • In particular, “This is the problem in the world today, so I think it would be a good idea to solve it this way,” which is not a 5-meter-long, desk-bound, fancy idea that diverges from one’s own experience, has already been tried by someone else and found to be useless, and discarded.
  • However, it’s not good to think that “other people have come up with ideas that I can come up with,” or that “it doesn’t matter if I do my best.
  • difficult
  • I also feel that even if 99% of the ideas are shared with others, if there is a 1% chance that something new will come out of it, then we should encourge it.
  • One way to make it less likely to be covered up is to make it tightly coupled with your own experience and your own environment.
  • One way to develop the idea is to say, “Other people are coming up with ideas that I come up with,” “But few people are putting them into practice,” and “So I’m going to do it.”
