Fast Company Now
“In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) from the essay Self Reliance
Works of genius don’t come from great ideas. They come from guts. It’s true, you need a great idea in the first place – but that’s only 1% of the equation. The other 99% is action. Everyone has great ideas. Very few people have the courage to bet on them. It stings to see our own rejected thoughts in another’s work of genius because we realize that they had the courage to act…where we did not.
