The Ultimate Note-Taking Habit

The Art of Blending Ideas

Every genius needs a sidekick—even a rhino.

That’s why you’ll often see a little yellow oxpecker riding on its back. At first glance, it looks like the rhino has an annoying hitchhiker. But in reality, the oxpecker is a lifesaver—eating bugs, picking off parasites, and even squawking when danger is near.

It’s a symbiotic relationship. The rhino gets protection, and the oxpecker gets free meals and a place to perch.

And the more I think about it, the more I see how ideas work the same way. Some ideas strengthen others. Some challenge them. And some—when paired together—become something entirely new.
