Ask Yourself Busy Doing What

"It is not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about?"

-- Henry David Thoreau


"Beginners and outsiders are open to possibilities and don’t make assumptions. By extension, they’re often better at finding solutions the experts have stopped seeing."

-- Michael McMillan


"Perceptual blindness sheds much light on why we miss obvious solutions. By focusing on one thing (a problem), we miss something else (a solution). Magicians and politicians have known about this phenomenon for years."

-- Michael McMillan
