The Power of Saying an Idea Out Loud

Posted on July 21st, 2009 by tim bursch. Filed under ideas.

We have access to more words than ever before. We can also find ideas near and far with one click. Ideas are great. Right?

An idea on paper or on the web is just that, an idea. Maybe not so great all by itself.

Ideas are not given life until we act. Martin Luther King, Jr did not just have a dream. He said that dream out loud and acted towards that idea.
Muhammad Yunus did not just have an idea of microfinance helping many people in his country. He said it out loud. He acted.

Have any ideas you want to say out loud?
Mine: What if I started giving away ideas that I cannot act on instead of storing them in a notebook?
