More quotes by Edward de Bono
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
Man owes his success to his creativity. No one doubts the need for it. It is most useful in good times and essential in bad.
Edward de Bono
People should realize we're jerks just like them.
Edward de Bono
Studies have shown that 90% of error in thinking is due to error in perception. If you can change your perception, you can change your emotion and this can lead to new ideas.
Edward de Bono
We may have a perfectly adequate way of doing something, but that does not mean there cannot be a better way. So we set out to find an alternative way. This is the basis of any improvement that is not fault correction or problem solving.
Edward de Bono
Explaining belief has alwayas been difficult. How do you explain a love and a logic at the heart of the universe when the world is so out of whack? Explaining faith is impossible - vision over visibility - instinct over intellect - a songwriter plays a chore with the faith that he will hear the next one in his head.
Edward de Bono

Edward de Bono
If you wait for opportunities to occur, you will be one of the crowd.
Edward de Bono
Happiness is for those who don't really need it. So I can live without happiness.
Edward de Bono
Simplicity before understanding is simplistic simplicity after understanding is simple.
Edward de Bono
Child mortality since 2000 is down by 2.65 million a year. That's a rate of 7,256 children's lives saved each day. ... It drives me nuts that most people don't seem to know this news.
Edward de Bono
It is well known that problem avoidance is an important part of problem solving. Instead of solving the problem you go upstream and alter the system so that the problem does not occur in the first place.
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
There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all.
Edward de Bono
The simple process of focusing on things that are normally taken for granted is a powerful source of creativity.
Edward de Bono
The mind can only see what it is prepared to see.
Edward de Bono
Mock the devil, and he will flee from thee.
Edward de Bono
It's always amazed me how little attention philosophers, psychologists, or anyone else actually has paid to humor.
Edward de Bono
The effective thinker treats arrogance as the major sin of thinking.
Edward de Bono
The concept of logical thinking is selection and this is brought about by the processes of acceptance and rejection. Rejection is the basis of logical thinking.
Edward de Bono
