All you need to be successful is ONE good idea.

Jesus Christ Dude, you discovered Christianity. That's an awesome idea. Kidding aside- one good idea is all it takes, however, ideas that you think are good may not be good for the world.

@kenakiruri8340 I think I'll check that one out, sounds interesting. I've been reading Think and Grow rich, and in that book they mention only needing one good idea to be successful, and in that book they also mention that one of the biggest stumbling blocks for people is the fear of failure, and failing and never recovering. But the thing that all wealthy people have in common is that at some people they all fail. It's just a stop along the way to becoming rich.

@lolifbi9132 Of course execution plays a big role. I hope I didn't understate the importance of that. I mean without execution to manifest an idea, it remains just that. I'm sure you're heard the phrase, "Necessity is the mother of all inventions." That's the crux. If there's an idea worth executing, that will potentially make the world a better place, or for some, make them a lot of money, they will come along to execute it.

@lolifbi9132 I get what you're saying. The one big idea thing holds true, I'm not implying it's the only way, but I get your point and I think it's becoming increasingly more difficult in the modern age to come out with life changing ideas anyway...I mean the well of ideas is infinite, but it takes more and more creativity to come out with something truly ground breaking. BTW, I'm not hardcore coder, but I've dabbled with programming before, mainly bash programming, been running linux systems with the early 2000's, also a little bit of python here and there.
