That Great Idea of Yours…

I’ve been told MANY times by people that “I have an idea, but I need an NDA before I tell you.” Or “I’m worried that someone might steal it.”

I always tried to convince people that most others don’t have the passion or drive to take it, so you’re better off sharing it and getting feedback than keeping it to yourself.

Now, I have the best response yet.

“Don’t worry about people stealing your idea. If it’s original, you will have to ram it down their throats.”

Howard Aiken, US computer scientist, (1900-1973)
