Ideas are abundant. Because, every human has a brain, most of them know how to use it and it doesn’t cost a dime.

But not all ideas are perceived the same way. An idea given by an authority in the subject opens up the mind of a listener. Chances are high that the idea will be accepted. It may not be the case with the same idea coming from a novice.

So for all the novices out there:

Don’t stop your ideas coming. But don’t underestimate the power of authority. The best bet would be to establish authority in your subject while throwing out your great ideas.
