Borrowing brilliance (S.K.)

There's this theory that every successful model in the Universe is produced through trial and error. Translated differently it says that there's no revelation, no perfect idea from the genesis. Instead every idea, no matter how genuine it is,  has started as an imperfect thing and then has been continuously improved through trial and error. 
The same is told in this book as well. One cannot make a perfect plan and hope for it to work efficiently from day one. History has told us it will not. The part of enhancing and improving one system is as important as creating it in the first place.
I wanna conclude with a quote from Albert Einstein.
The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.
Why? Because if you don't, others will borrow/steal them and be at least as creative as you.

  1. “Every idea, no matter how genuine it is, has started as an imperfect thing and then has been continuously improved through trial and error”. What if the opposite is true? The idea, in its initial form is close to perfection but people continuously destroy the essence of it. Let’s take a look at communism. As an idea, in its initial form, it’s as close to perfection as it can be. Then when put into practice, after much “trial and error” it has become the most tyrannical system ever. People always borrow ideas. The problem is that they probably borrow the worst features of every system. 

  2. But Saimir, if others also "hide" their ideas, you can not be creative(at least in the way that Murray says),out of existing ideas.

  3. I fully agree with your mentioned quote of Einstein: The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.
    Combining two or more Ideas in a good way can lead you to perfect ideas which others has never thought. The author used to tell us that refining your ideas or ideas of other is good because as he says-there are no truly original thoughts.

  4. It’s really interesting in knowing where to borrow the materials and how to put them together and determining a new application of them. But the author presents a simple Six-Step process that it can be used in order to build an innovation in every field not only in business one. So it very reasonable and applicable..
