You can analyse the past, but you have to design the future

Many highly intelligent people are poor thinkers. Many people of average intelligence are skilled thinkers. The power of a car is separate from the way the car is driven.

We may need to solve problems not by removing the cause but by designing the way forward even if the cause remains in place.

I do a great deal of work with young children, and if you give a child a problem, he may come up with a highly original solution, because he doesn't have the established route to it.

Most of the mistakes in thinking are inadequacies of perception rather than mistakes of logic.

A discussion should be a genuine attempt to explore a subject rather than a battle between competing egos.

Opportunity ideas do not lie around waiting to be discovered. Such ideas need to be produced.
