Mistakes aren't fatal; they are merely the portals of discovery.

When you ask "why", "what if" and "why not" you force yourself to explore what's possible and not just what is.

Anyone can notice wrong answers. It takes the creative person to notice the wrong questions.

Is the game plan you are currently running the most direct path to your destiny?

Build creative cultures, and work with purpose to unleash the creativity of your team. Creativity is the most valuable natural resource in any organization, yet it is often a resource that is largely untapped. The leaders that prioritize and invest in creative cultures will be the wall street darlings of tomorrow. In fact, they're the darlings of today (Facebook, Groupon, LinkedIn, etc).

Want the thing you've never had? Then do the thing you've never done.

In the business world, there are systems and processes for just about everything else. Yet creativity and innovation, arguably THE most important aspects of progress, are often left to happen by chance. The system provides a scaffolding for creative support and exploration, yet is open enough to avoid curbing creativity or outputting cookie-cutter solutions.
