If you are very fixated on the “without”; what is out there, you are likely to produce more of the same. This is where ideas such as building Nigerian versions of major global startups stem from. If you are more fixated on the “within” than the “without”, you are more likely to come up with unique ideas. If you take your unique idea into the real world and let it interact with people, you end up crafting something useful out of it.
In this age of googling every idea that crosses our mind first before even developing it in any meaningful way, how do we hope to retain the initial ideas that started from “within”?
