A Case For Your Average Idea

Why? 

Because the world runs on average, boring ol’ ideas too. Perhaps more importantly, too many of us are running in the opposite direction of success.

You know, like Google. Or maybe a phone with ten SIM cards, or a car that runs on milk. Okay, maybe not those last two. In any case, when they stumble on that idea which isn’t mind-blowing, or is only just about different from something that already exists, they throw it away. So basically the streets are littered with these average ideas, and that cannot stand.
