ideas

A study of the history of opinion is a necessary preliminary to the emancipation of the mind.

At every period of history, people have believed things that were just ridiculous, and believed them so strongly that you risked ostracism or even violence by saying otherwise. If our own time were any different, that would be remarkable. As far as I can tell it isn't.

Ideas are the currency of innovation.

We've reached a point in human history where higher education no longer works. As a result of technology, higher education in its traditional college setting no longer works. It will never be effective or progressive enough to keep up with the growing needs of employers who look to college institutions for their future employees.I can appreciate the good intent the college system set out to achieve. For previous generations, the formula actually worked. Students enrolled into universities that were affordable, they gained marketable skills and they earned good jobs. Since there was a proven track record of success, parents instilled the value of college in their children thinking they would achieve the same success story they did, but unfortunately Wall Street was watching. Wall Street, the federal government and the college system ganged up and skyrocketed the cost of tuition to record highs. This was easy to do because not only did they have posters blanketing high schools showing kids what a loser they would be if they didn't go to college, they also had Mom and Dad at home telling them the same thing.This system - spending 4+ years pursuing a college education when the world is changing at the speed of light - no longer works and it's not fixable. We now have the biggest employer's market in human history, where employers have their pick of the litter, and because of this employees will get paid less and less and benefits will continue to erode.

Enlightenment is not about attaining an ultimate level of intelligence or intellect. It is regained by shedding all the ideas, illusion and binds thrust on you and that you then so readily accrue.

It's a strange idea people have that thinking makes one intelligent.

the future belongs to those societies that treat new ideas as delicate, fragile and immensely valuable pathways to the future.

Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.

The crime of book purging is that it involves a rejection of the word. For the word is never absolute truth, but only man__ frail and human effort to approach the truth. To reject the word is to reject the human search.

No art is silent! Because art is an original idea and every original idea speaks, every interesting thought screams, every art talks, every art screams! No art is silent! If it is silent, then it is not an art!

I can't keep myself from creativity. Ideas flash like lightning burning my bones. It must flow out of my hands or it will burst me apart.

The survival of my own ideas may not be as important as a condition I might create for others_ ideas to be realized.

In art one idea is as good as another.

A writer is one who communicates ideas and emotions people want to communicate but aren't quite sure how, or even if, they should communicate them.

I__e decided the act that cannot wait / is the important will to create / But, ah, if my belly is ignored / the pantry door I shall implore / But I__e been known to reach the bed / ideas still famished in my head.

Focus your thoughts today on HOW __ou can!_ instead of accepting that __ou can__._ Amazing ideas will come your way.

When people feel trusted, they'll begin to understand they are contributors--and you'll get great ideas and happy people.
