Paul Graham on Twitter: "In many different fields, outsiders overestimate the value of ideas and underestimate the difficulties of execution. So it's probably a good strategy for learning about any new field to ask "why is execution harder than it seems to outsiders?""

  not only outsiders, yesterday I was catching up with my ex-teammate & she said that I helped her a lot in her development by giving good ideas. I was like what! anyone can give ideas, it is the execution that matters and execution starts with filtering those ideas.

  Outsiders only get to see the finished product and try to reverse engineer it in their head. Hindsight is 20/20.
