7. “There is no such
thing as a new idea.
It is impossible.
We simply take a lot
of old ideas and put
them into a sort of
mental kaleidoscope.
We give them a turn
and they make new
and curious
combinations.”
16. They must know how to link apparently
unconnected elements to create something new.
People who hope to thrive in the Conceptual Age
must understand the connection between
diverse, and seemingly separate disciplines.
-- Daniel Pink in AWhole New Mind
17. Creativity is just
connecting things.
When you ask creative people
how they did something, they
feel a little guilty because they
didn’t really do it, they just saw
something. It seemed obvious
to them after a while.
That’s because they were able
to connect experiences they’ve
had and SYNTHESIZE
new things.
- Steve Jobs, 1995
