More quotes by Edward de Bono
A discussion should be a genuine attempt to explore a subject rather than a battle between competing egos.
Edward de Bono
Creativity makes life more fun and more interesting.
Edward de Bono
It's not enough to rage against the lie.. you've got to replace it with the truth.
Edward de Bono
A person who knows all the answers, has an opinion on everything, has a certainty backed up by rational argument, has very little possibility of further progress. Such a person is unlikely to walk away from a discussion with anything more than a reaffirmation of how right he or she has been all along.
Edward de Bono
Do we have the will to make poverty history?
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
I think school is a place where thinking should be taught.
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
The effective thinker treats arrogance as the major sin of thinking.
Edward de Bono
What the joke displays is a switch in perception. This is important in changing the way we think.
Edward de Bono
Maybe the social value of truth is as a destination - so long as we do not assume we have arrived there.
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
Mock the devil, and he will flee from thee.
Edward de Bono
Don't criticise a hypothesis, come up with a better one.
Edward de Bono
Complexity creates confusion, simplicity focus.
Edward de Bono
A characteristic of intuitive solutions and new ideas is that of being obvious once they are discovered.
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
If you do not design the future, someone or something else will design it for you.
Edward de Bono
You cannot dig a hole in a different place by digging the same hole deeper
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
