Edward de Bono, co-founder of SOT and author of Lateral Thinking:
“There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity there would be no progress, and we would be forever stuck, repeating the same patterns again and again and again.”
Your Daily Feedback Question (DFQ #009):
What patterns can you escape from today?
An interesting question and to be brutally honest with myself there are no patterns that I can escape from today.
I, like most of us I suspect, am a victim of repetitive patterns of thought whether I like it or not.
And perhaps that is why I am here at SOT, just like the rest of us.
So I will stick with the DFQ’s and see what tomorrow brings.
I start business really well, but never finish really well .This is changing as of today. I know that this is my last chance to make a change to the worlds environment . To be able to leave a better place for my son to grow up in.
I want to escape from the wrong belief that everything is achievable to everyone
I am working on this already in my work; trying to analyze things from yet another prospective and then bring in my creativitiy for reaching to a solution.
I´m over-prudent (in excess) and slow to make personal decisions, trying to minimize my own risks. There is the first pattern I must escape from today.
Second: Believe in my BVS creativity and jump into action.
ThirdÑ Program myself to find opportunities instead of judging or criticizing.
Great question!, Thanks.
Good question. Here’s the list:
Hiding out
Procrastinating
Mindless snacking
Volunteering to be a victim
Apologizing
Assuming that I know what the answer will be before I ask the question.
