Steve Jobs once compared ideas to stones in a rock tumbler.


Steve said, "It's that through the team, through that group of incredibly talented people bumping up against each other, having arguments, having fights sometimes, making some noise, and working together they polish each other and they polish the ideas, and what comes out is really beautiful."


Ideas don't start out great but become great with enough polishing.
