2. Ideas are cheap, because everyone has them. Make them real is what actually matters.
3. When you really believe in a new idea, you have to protect her, no matters what. This is extreme difficult, because very often the greatest ideas get destroyed by the people around us.
4. Everyone can kill your idea! Colleagues, friends, and even your family.
