If you are not prepared to take risks, make mistakes, feel your fear and take a bold step forward anyway…you’ll never come up with anything original.

Success is seeing the gestalt. It’s about seeing the ins and outs of dozens of different world views and skillsets – and then seeing where they intersect in order to create new theories, paradigms, models, inventions, and breakthroughs. It’s about creating a latticework of different mental models and connecting the dots between them all.

Bold ideas and inventions only emerge in an environment where people are free to speak up.

Innovation is about zigging instead of zagging.
