More quotes by Edward de Bono
As competition intensifies, the need for creative thinking increases. It is no longer enough to do the same thing better . . . no longer enough to be efficient and solve problems.
Edward de Bono
It wouldn't cost too much to change the rules of trade so that poor countries can work their way out of poverty. But the world's leaders won't act unless they hear enough people telling them. And every day they fail to act, thousands of people die because they can't afford the basics of survival.
Edward de Bono
You cannot dig a hole in a different place by digging the same hole deeper
Edward de Bono
In a sense, words are encyclopedias of ignorance because they freeze perceptions at one moment in history and then insist we continue to use these frozen perceptions when we should be doing better.
Edward de Bono
Only the human brain can deliberately change perceptions, change patterns, invent concepts and tolerate ambiguity.
Edward de Bono
You can analyse the past, but you have to design the future
Edward de Bono
You cannot look in a new direction by looking harder in the same direction.
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
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
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
Companies that solely focus on competition will ultimately die. Those that focus on value creation will thrive.
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
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
To me, a faith in Jesus Christ that is not aligned with the poor ... it's nothing.
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
This is not about charity, it's about justice... The war against terror is bound up in the war against poverty - I didn't say that, Colin Powell said that . . .
Edward de Bono
The solid wealth of insurance companies and the success of those who organsie gambling are some indication of the profits to be derived from the efficient use of chance.
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
Asking a question is the simplest way of focusing thinking...asking the right question may be the most important part of thinking.
Edward de Bono
A good design is not a democratic consensus.
