“Don’t criticise a hypothesis, come up with a better one.”

Only the human brain can deliberately change perceptions, change patterns, invent concepts and tolerate ambiguity.

Creativity gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone.

You cannot dig a hole in a different place by digging the same hole deeper.

Unhappiness is best defined as the difference between our talents and our expectations.

If you wait for opportunities to occur, you will be one of the crowd.

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.

Many highly intelligent people are poor thinkers. Many people of average intelligence are skilled thinkers. The power of a car is separate from the way the car is driven.

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.

Effectiveness without values is a tool without a purpose.

Companies that solely focus on competition will ultimately die. Those that focus on value creation will thrive.

You can’t dig a different hole by digging the same one deeper.

When the story of these times gets written, we want it to say that we did all we could, and it was more than anyone could have imagined.

Creativity is a great motivator because it mades people interested in what they are doing.

Our existing thinking habits are excellent, just as the rear wheels of a motor car are excellent, but not enough.

I’m a very loyal and unreliable friend.

Writing is utter solitude, the descent into the cold abyss of oneself.

It is not customary to love what one has

No one can help you love yourself. The healing starts with you.

We were purple, one day, we felt whole the next day split apart into red and blue.

One of the things that happened is I did a lot of shitty gigs. When you do a bunch of shitty bar gigs you have to get used to people yelling at you, you’re used to thinking on the fly, to dealing with weird situations.

There is no beginning, no middle, no end, no suspense, no moral, no causes, no effects. What we love in our books are the depths of many marvelous moments seen all at one time.

Freddie was the frontman/lead singer of the famous band The Queen . His songs revolve around the notion that one should follow their dreams and pursue one passion. A life without passion is a life without joy.

If we were all just alike, one of us wouldn’t be necessary.
