I've often thought about this question. The first time I came across this concept, I only gave it minor consideration. But the more experience I gained in design, the more this question arose. The passion, creativity, and thought we put into designing a product matter greatly and affect how people resonate with that idea. But ideas take on different meanings as they are used and shared amongst others.

Our original intention is the spark that lights the fire, but the people who experience the idea, make it a part of their lives, and then do or create something unique based on that spark, are the true magic and soul of a product. We all get inspiration from an idea that came from someone, even today. That's why I place much value on sharing abundantly. If we share our ideas, they will have the opportunity to inspire the next idea.
