there is a solution to everything except death

I highly recommend Scott Belsky's Making Ideas Happen to everyone who's ever had a thought pop up in their head but didn't know how to translate that idea into reality.

there will be people who say the book only repeats things that are already common sense, things like planning on paper, thinking up action steps,etc; ignore them. I've done a little bit of organising and I found the book illuminating. It's filled with practical advice and provides a logical, but more importantly 'doable', structure for tackling your next big idea

personally I love an execution more than the original ideas themselves
there's conflict in making something happen, maybe even tears. You dream up great things, but you end up in interesting, and real, places when you work on your ideas

come to think of it, I think projects are abandoned, or set aside; they never fail. If you can find a problem, you can find a solution, unless you're dead

as long as you continue to do stuff, and I can't emphasise the importance of 'doing' enough, more and more possibilities and solutions will appear in front of you

who knows? You might solve that impossible one yet
