"Ideas not coupled with action never become bigger than the brain cells they occupied"
- Arnold H. Glasow
About this Quote
This quote by Arnold H. Glasow is a tip that concepts alone are inadequate to bring about modification. It is only when concepts are coupled with action that they can end up being bigger than the brain cells they inhabited. This suggests that ideas need to be implemented in order to have an impact. It is insufficient to merely think of an option or a plan; it should be carried out in order for it to have any effect. This quote encourages us to take action and to not be content with just having ideas. It is only when we put our concepts into action that we can make a difference and develop something larger than ourselves.
