innovation

Problem-insight precedes solution insight. Someone has to recognise a problem before they start to solve the problem...

I would rather be a real Timex than a fake Rolex.

If traditional doesn't work, then traditions won't do.

Innovation is about practical creativity - it's about making new ideas useful...

Entrepreneur, take a bite out of Apple's innovation so in turn you can bear fruits of creativity.

Innovation can start with wanting what does not yet exist - and finding a solution - or seeing what does not yet exist - and finding an opportunity.

Great things often come from actions and decisions taken by others, that are deemed wild, stupid or unreasonable at the time, but later prove to be very useful.

The psychology of individual creativity is about at least three different things. First, creativity is about thinking differently. Second, creativity is about feeling differently. Third, creativity is about focusing, or committing, differently.

Before innovation - or practical creativity - there is insight. You must see the world differently.

The future is a direction, not a destination.

Culture is the sum of the values, beliefs and assumptions of human groups.

As an innovator, you need to be aware of how traditions, habits and bias can act as barriers to accepting new ideas.

Consider, for a moment, how profound is an education: every human-made object in the world is the result of one. Every car, computer, particle accelerator, thatched hut, hairstyle, soufflé, piano concerto. These are the products not only of the skilled hands and nimble minds of their creators, but the result of whole traditions and systems of education. Change education, and you change the world.

Don't try to think outside the box- get outside the box, then think!

The origin of innovation and entrepreneurship is a creative mindset

You think an idea's bad but to others, it's a brilliant idea. Instead of thinking that an idea is bad, look at it differently and the final outcome of this "bad" idea will shock you. Rules should be followed. It is a tradition to know what can and can't be done. But innovation doesn't require the boundaries rules provide. It is when you stop following that you start having unexpected fun.

Be creative, be innovative, consume what everyone consumes and make it fresh!

You need to make a decision - are you are an imitator or an innovator?
