The wheel works ​

We know to not ‘reinvent the wheel’. Yet it remains tempting:

  • Ideas without execution: We all know a guy who thinks Uber was his idea. Having a great idea didn’t do him much good.
  • Execution without ideas: This works fine. Originality might help, but winners need not be original in order to win. ​ If execution is indeed the more important ingredient, put aside the drawing board. The wheel works already.
