Edward de Bono Quotes:
"You do not have to have lived a long time to benefit from the experience of those who have"
"Do you make harsh sterotyping judgments? Perhaps you should be conscious of that habit. Do you make an effort to generate and consider alternatives? Perhaps you should seek to do this more often."
"Labels are a sort of 'box'. Once we slap a label on something then we 'know how to deal with it'. There are the usual simple labels: 'good' or 'bad'; 'right' or 'wrong'; 'true' or 'untrue'; 'useful' or 'useless', etc. Such labels save a lot of thinking. The labels set out a whole perception about something. We look at things through the labels and only notice what agrees with the label.
When students in a class were randomly assigned to two groups, 'promising' and 'slower', they performed according to the label. Teachers given the labels treated students according to the label"
