Keep on the lookout for novel ideas that others have used successfully. Your idea has to be original only in its adaptation to the problem you're working on.

My principal business is giving commercial value to the brilliant - but misdirected - ideas of others.

Sleep is like a drug. Take too much at a time and it makes you dopey. You lose time and opportunities.

Absorb ideas from every source.

Most of my ideas belonged to other people who never bothered to develop them.

I am long on ideas, but short on time. I expect to live to be only about a hundred.
