“For every idea you come up with, there are probably ten other people in the world executing that same idea.”

- “Once you just embrace this rule, you won’t worry too much about what other people are doing. Just think of it as part of the process of being an entrepreneur. Look at Coke & Pepsi, which are almost identical products but both billion dollar companies. There’s no such thing as original ideas, only original people. Don’t fall into the trap of killing your idea off too early because it can change, morph, and turn into something truly amazing.”

All of this quoted from Michael Karnjanaprakorn in this post.
