That is the difference between suffering the future and enjoying it  (Edward De Bono Quotes) Western traditions of education have emphasized knowledge analysis, description and debate. They all have a part to play, but today there is a whole vast aspect of doing that has just been left out. Operacy is what keeps society going  (Edward De Bono Quotes) Dealing with complexity is an inefficient and unnecessary waste of time, attention and mental energy. There is never any justification for things being complex when they could be simple  (Edward De Bono Quotes) In a sense, words are encyclopedias of ignorance because they freeze perceptions at one moment in history and then insist we continue to use these frozen perceptions when we should be doing better  (Edward De Bono Quotes) 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  (Edward De Bono Quotes) The purpose of science is not to analyze or describe but to make useful models of the world. A model is useful if it allows us to get use out of it  (Edward De Bono Quotes) An expert is someone who has succeeded in making decisions and judgements simpler through knowing what to pay attention to and what to ignore  (Edward De Bono Quotes) An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea  (Edward De Bono Quotes) Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way  (Edward De Bono Quotes) I must say, I don’t feel very qualified to be a pop star. I feel very awkward at times in the role  (Edward De Bono Quotes) One very important aspect of motivation is the willingness to stop and to look at things that no one else has bothered to look at. This simple process of focusing on things that are normally taken for granted is a powerful source of creativity  (Edward De Bono Quotes) Opportunity ideas do not lie around waiting to be discovered. Such ideas need to be produced  (Edward De Bono Quotes) Sometimes the situation is only a problem because it is looked at in a certain way.

There is a sense of immortality in a new idea  (Edward De Bono Quotes) Everyone has the right to doubt everything as often as he pleases and the duty to do it at least once. No way of looking at things is too sacred to be reconsidered. No way of doing things is beyond improvement  (Edward De Bono Quotes) The system will always be defended by those countless people who have enough intellect to defend but not quite enough to innovate  (Edward De Bono Quotes) It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all  (Edward De Bono Quotes) We may have a perfectly adequate way of doing something, but that does not mean there cannot be a better way.
