Creative thinking is not a talent, it is a skill that can be learned. It empowers people by adding strength to their natural abilities which improves teamwork, productivity and, where appropriate, profits.
Edward de Bono
The music that really turns me on is either running toward God or away from God. Both recognize the pivot, that God is at the center of the jaunt.
Edward de Bono
You can analyse the past, but you need to design the future. That is the difference between suffering the future and enjoying it.
Edward de Bono
Asking a question is the simplest way of focusing thinking...asking the right question may be the most important part of thinking.
