Give away everything you know, and more will come back to you
Do you remember your time back in school? While working, some students would place their arms around their work so as to prevent other students from seeing their work and therefore stop them from copying
As you get older, it turns out it’s the same at work, people are secretive with their ideas “don’t tell them that, they’ll take the credit for it”
The problem with hoarding is you end up living off your reserves, eventually you’ll run out and become stale
If you give everything away on the other hand, you are left with nothing and therefore forced to replenish
Somehow the more you give away the more comes back to you
Ideas are open knowledge. Don’t claim ownership
They’re not your ideas anyway, they’re someone else’s. They are out there floating by on the ether
You just have to put yourself in a frame of mind to pick them up
There’s nothing new under the sun
All ideas are recycled and built on from previous ideas
That’s how it works
Be well
