        @jack always more impactful when you work it up. People -> Events -> Ideas.

        . @jack try to invert order. Works even better, if you give specific meaning to "ideas" and "people"

        @jack most times my mind is average, but I love it when its great. I guess you need at least two great minds to see if they are really great
