Share your world away

Just a thought I would like to share.
It is a common habit for each and every one of us to safe guard our thoughts and ideas that we have, keeping them close to us because were paranoid that someone will steal our idea. In my opinion this creates tunnel vision, which will carry an idea one direction and one direction only. You could have the greatest new idea but by keeping it to yourself you are effectively cutting it off at its legs by not allowing it to be fed by other minds. Not only are you restricting the growth of a possibly great idea but you are restricting your own personal development by effectively running on reserve power which is one day going to run out. Share your ideas with your peers and allow other creative and fresh minds to fuel your idea, talk to people and ask them what they think and what they would do. Hell if you don't like what they have to say you don't need to use their idea but amongst the ideas you don't agree with there will be some gems that will allow your idea to grow and develop.
Stop thinking about the negative - that someone will steal your idea and think of the positive, think... What can my peers minds bring to the table?
So from now on stop hoarding and put your ideas out there. This goes for books, websites, etc as well, share what you find and just wait to see what you get in return.
