All Of My Good Ideas Are Battles

I so love this. Designer Adam Katz's contribution to Stefan Sagmeister's long running and brilliant "Things I Have Learned in My Life" project, featuring 1500 spray painted plas­tic army men stuck to a New York window. The best, most disruptive ideas are always a battle. It reminds me of that old Hugh MacLeod quote about how the more original your idea is, the less good advice other people will be able to give you: “Good ideas alter the power balance in relationships, that is why good ideas are always initially resisted.”

    I certainly feel like this at the moment. Of course, I am not only battling others for the good idea, I am battling my own (internal) critics too. I could do with a plastic soldier or two 😉

    This came to me at a good moment. I can certainly relate, and hope only that I’m experiencing this because I have a good idea, and not because I am horribly, horribly wrong. Thanks!
