What an original idea!

There is absolutely no harm in borrowing ideas. Absolutely none. But I strongly have believed that creating your own ideas (no matter how mediocre) always gives you an edge. You don’t have to always wait to create something outstanding, small beginnings are good enough. So why is it so important for the idea generator to create ideas? Here's why:

Borrowed Ideas	Original Ideas
Never trigger imagination. These can only inspire, amaze or fascinate but nothing more than that.	These fuel thoughts, stir imagination and stimulate action.
No sense of achievement, whatsoever	An amazing sense of creation
Limits thinking to what somebody else is thinking	Thoughts know no boundaries. You are the master of your thinking and can direct it wherever you like.
Usually does not result in any meaningful discussions	Can render an interesting discussion or can seed a new idea
You and your originality are never heard	You learn to express and open up
Your mind gets clogged with too many theories and that too of others	You are clear about what you think and what your idea is
You become the follower	You are seen as the leader

And it’s all good, it is all just fine

Dismay gets darker with each minute,

Inertia pulling it all in a bleak vacuum,

Tick, tock, tick, tock… tipping silence,

I look closely at the emptiness and it makes sense,

The dismay looks petty and minuscule,

 Bleak vacuum passing hints of freedom,

Time to experience what is truly real,

Hear harder for the lyrical music in the tipping silence,

Let not things control your happiness, seize it irrespective,

There suddenly is beauty and loveliness around,

World, spinning for me and for me alone,

I am real with a life too short for triviality, 

And it’s all good, it is all just fine.
