“The best way to get startup ideas is not to try to think of startup ideas. It's to look for problems, preferably problems you have yourself”
— Paul Graham

Simplified Meaning:
If you want to start a successful business, don’t just try to come up with random ideas for a new business. Instead, think about problems you face in your own life or see others struggling with. Finding a solution to a real problem is what will make your business idea valuable. For example, if you notice that it’s hard to find healthy food options at work, you might start a company that delivers fresh, healthy meals to people's offices. People are more likely to want a service that solves an actual issue they have, rather than something they don’t really need. By focusing on fixing problems, you can create a business that truly helps people and has a better chance of succeeding.
