Is isolation the key to successful endeavors?

Isolation or solitude is typically necessary to help formulate and clarify ideas.

Having said this, collaboration and feedback are essential to refining your ideas and to clarify what type of language other people will understand.

Only through discussion and interaction can we see our own errors or the limitations of our thought processes.
