#43I built a paper airplane and sold it for a penny. Therefore, airplanes are only worth a penny. Quick, let's all go get our own Airbus!

#44Ideas that are based on making money for the sake of being rich are the worst.
But that's kind of the main reason why you start a business, you know, to make a lot of money. Otherwise you're talking about charities.
Really? I've talked to a number of entrepreneurs who are in it because they have an idea they'd like to see happen or they think it's fun or to try to leave a mark on the world or a number of other reasons where the money is only a side effect.

#47Ideas are a dime a dozen, but great ideas are not. Some ideas are better than others, and some are much better than others. It would be easy to argue that someone who could consistently come up with the much better ones would be worth just as much if not more than a great executor.
Great ideas are only great in hindsight.
Nothing is worth without some level of testing. this also applies for execution.
But testing/evaluating an idea can be easier than full blown execution. and you can use it to estimate how likely your idea would succeed.
And at this point your idea has some value.

#48#8: A gadget to cook beans/lentils/vegetables/rice for the same amount of time (quicker than what can be done in a slow cooker.) Ah dang, I was just about to re-invent the microwave too!
Naw, the microwave is still pretty much a one-thing-at-a-time device. Do one thing after another, and the first is cold when the next is ready; do them together, and you either have to pop stuff in at different times or some stuff will be over/under-cooked when it ends. Methinks the idea was something crockpot/rice-cookerish which you dump all the stuff into at once, say into different sections of the cooker, and it…
...and twitter integration! Let's get rich!

You could simply hire an assistance and have a maid at home. Of course, there could be a service where you can pick them based on their looks, though it would be a little discriminatory.
