What Works

There is a line of things that does work. In it's own time, space and at the opportune moment. 

Those things are small in number and have their existence thanks to all the other things. The things that to various degree didn't work. 

Most of them were out of sync with their time. The majority being too early - pushed by impatient people wanted to be seen in the light of the breakthrough. Thus preventing it from happening. 

For the time being, that is. Or was. 
Because most things that happen to succeed are combacks. Things that time after time prove not to work just to - once the time is right - start doing so. 

One might wonder. Who may want to cling to the idea of owning an idea under these circumstances?
