Edward de Bono
The mind can only see what it is prepared to see.
Edward de Bono
Do we have the will to make poverty history?
Edward de Bono
Most executives, many scientists, and almost all business school graduates believe that if you analyze data, this will give you new ideas. Unfortunately, this belief is totally wrong. The mind can only see what it is prepared to see.
Edward de Bono
To me, a faith in Jesus Christ that is not aligned with the poor ... it's nothing.
Edward de Bono
You can analyse the past, but you have to design the future
Edward de Bono
Don't criticise a hypothesis, come up with a better one.
