The quality of our thinking will determine the quality of our future
Edward de Bono
We need creativity in order to break free from the temporary structures that have been set up by a particular sequence of experience.
Edward de Bono
My thinking was taught to tribes in South Africa like the Zulus and Xhosas. At the time there were about 210 fights breaking out among them every month, but after they listened to my lessons, this fell to just four.
Edward de Bono
Effectiveness without values is a tool without a purpose.
Edward de Bono
An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.
Edward de Bono
You can analyse the past, but you have to design the future
Edward de Bono
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
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
There's a danger in the internet and social media. The notion that information is enough, that more and more information is enough, that you don't have to think, you just have to get more information - gets very dangerous.
Edward de Bono
I'm tired of dreaming. I'm into doing at the moment. It's, like, let's only have goals that we can go after.
Edward de Bono
Critical thinking does seem a superior sort of thinking because it seems as though the critic is actually going beyond the scope of what is being criticized in order to criticize it. That is only rarely a true assumption because, most often, the critic will seize on some little aspect that he or she understands and tackle only that.
Edward de Bono
Language is the biggest barrier to human progress because language is an encyclopedia of ignorance. Old perceptions are frozen into language and force us to look at the world in an old fashioned way.
Edward de Bono
Creative thinking - in terms of idea creativity - is not a mystical talent. It is a skill that can be practised and nurtured.
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
Complexity means distracted effort. Simplicity means focused effort.
Edward de Bono
They enjoy thinking. They enjoy being creative. They enjoy having ideas. Most people do not enjoy thinking at all.
Edward de Bono
Every valuable creative idea must always be logical in hindsight. If it were not, we would never be able to see its value.
Edward de Bono
You cannot look in a new direction by looking harder in the same direction.
Edward de Bono
A myth is a fixed way of looking at the world which cannot be destroyed because, looked at through the myth, all evidence supports the myth.
Edward de Bono
Our existing thinking habits are excellent, just as the rear wheels of a motor car are excellent, but not enough.
Edward de Bono
