There are great ideas and there's execution. And they don't go hand in hand always. I may have fantastic ideas and visuals in my head, and may go about town ranting away about what a great thinker I am. I may make an impression and people may recall my blabbering and identify me for my creativity and brilliant thoughts. But that's not even the drawing board. I am nothing but words.
Then there's execution. But there's bad execution also, sadly. I may be hard working, unquestioningly go about a task and whir and spin away till the conveyor belt presents what your majesty ordered. And that is such a dangerous way to work, init? So what do we chase? Well, it's the potent combination of a great idea, a zeal to working hard, how we conduct ourselves in seeing through the deliverable, right till the feedback. This is the holy grail, which solidifies the random figments into real space, dust, metal and glass. The figments that zapped around in your skull are tested, twisted, prodded and real physics shatter your cloud 9 castles. You rethink, revisit the drawing board or worst still, have all your plans scrapped. It dawns on you that you are not playing with dough anymore. You have come too long a way off to turn around. So you stick with your dreams and decide that the only way out is through. So you get real. The homework starts. You are an ant, a horse, a mule and a thinker. Time flies. The castle now has a solid, reliable foundation. It's strong. And believable. It will hold anything on it. Now you start dreaming again, but this time around, others are with you. Their abilities also come through and your dream becomes others' aspirations as well. Next thing, everyone is working together to make this a reality and scrapping this or looking back is so not an option anymore.
The marriage of idea and execution makes you the point of contact for dreamers and sloggers. You want to do bigger and better. The dreamer and the slogger is now the true creator.
