&lt;I&gt;
"....Why do you need other people? Can't you just think of new ideas yourself? The empirical answer is: no. Even Einstein needed people to bounce ideas off. &lt;U&gt;Ideas get developed in the process of explaining them to the right kind of person. You need that resistance, just as a carver needs the resistance of the wood.&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;
In my experience, this need for "friendly resistance" extends to far more than creating startups. &lt;EM&gt;Every time&lt;/EM&gt; you have a  new idea, you need people you can bounce it off. To get any real benefit out of this process you need people with a complex combination of characteristics.
&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;
 They should 
&lt;/P&gt;&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;have firm (but not rigid) opinions on their own&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;have logical reasons for those beliefs and be able to articulate them clearly &lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt; are driven by ideas and not ideology&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;not attach their egos to their opinions.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;be willing to concede a valid argument even if it forces them to possibly re-examine their beliefs&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;know how to listen&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/essay/" rel="tag"&gt;essay&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://ravimohan.blogspot.com/2006/02/importance-of-having-friends-who.html</clipSource><pubDate>Sun, 04 Mar 2007 06:14:26 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>The 8 Principles of Having Fun</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/DF02F85D-5186-4D89-B42E-E56B54062738/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/rhymonde/"&gt;rhymonde&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;clipper's remarks:&lt;/b&gt;  The flash movie at 8Principles is really beautifully done,check it out if you have some free time. &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifehack/the-8-principles-of-having-fun.html" title="http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifehack/the-8-principles-of-having-fun.html"&gt;www.lifehack.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/rhymonde/512/53E34188-8A36-4913-B898-F8527D9804F8.jpg" alt="8 eight principles to fun" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;LI&gt;1.
