Nothing dies harder than a bad idea.
Meaning of the quote
A bad idea is like a stubborn weed - it's really hard to get rid of! Even when we know an idea is not good, it can still stick around and be difficult to let go of. That's because bad ideas can be very persuasive and sometimes we have a hard time admitting that they're not working. But the more we hold onto a bad idea, the harder it becomes to move on and try something better.
