"Become an observer of group dynamics. Ideas don't live in a vacuum. They are brought to life and championed by individuals. Start to analyze how ideas either bloom or are killed by the people around them, around you. How is your inner circle affecting the quality of the ideas that live or die?"

"Our interests determine how we see the world. Those interests are pulled into tight focus while the rest of the scene is often blurred [...] The world each of us sees is just one possible level of sight. One lens. To be more creative we need to open up to other lenses and other ways of seeing. The more we can see, the more ideas we can use in our creative work."

"Sometimes you lead the ideas and sometimes the ideas lead you. They always take you to places you didn't expect."
