Beautifully written. In its entirety. I completely agree.. it’s not about who started it. It’s about what we’re doing with it, I think is right on. Often, we get hung up on who gets the credit, rather than just pushing those ideas out there to see what will improve humanity. With the advent of technology, we are constantly on the prowl for better ideas, better design and better methods for ROI. In the end, I've seen it up close and personal, we don't take anything with us. Only our ideas, our passion and our interests stay behind. Our job is to move those forward. Move that torch forward. Thanks for a beautiful post! My best from Portland, Oregon -David Molina @davidcmolina Incredible Jonathan!

” We all stand on the shoulders of those who came before us ” and ” They all stood on the shoulders of those who came before them ”

Umm I wonder who was the original shoulder :)

If we copyrighted our quotes how annoying would that be? We'd all be fined a hefty fee for any cliche that somehow makes it out of our mouths. Ideas are worth more than a conversation of course, and the spreading of those ideas are what make them valuable. Hence, the authority figures who voice that idea become detrimental in mass messaging. To build upon a concept is truly more worthwhile than trying to squeeze an original thought out of millenniums of exchanges. Cheers!

They are bright and right on the money. I've noticed a few people in this lifestyle design space that are trying to take ownership...badges and certain words like "professional" come to mind...stop trying to own things, instead improve them. I love the collective work power. Great post. Your thoughts here are perfectly fit for the platform…their illuminated. They are bright and right on the money.

Property is the big one. People who claim to own nature might be the biggest crooks of all. How much better would the world be if we didn’t pretend to own everything? Property is the big one.

But really there is nothing new under the sun. We all live, study and absorb from all sorts of places sometimes not remembering exactly where you heard each concept. This is especially true when you have been deeply involved in something for years. When I write and give talks, I try my best to give credit but sometimes it’s coming from deep inside of me which was integrated long ago.

My writing partner and I have created an excellent balance for our blog - which is ironically about conversation - but the only way we could get there is by recognizing each of our strengths - we weren't looking to compete for attention or both claim clear ownership. It's been wonderful. It's hard work. But once one can learn to detach from feeling the need to control, it all flows much better. Thanks for this!
