Tom, who wrote the book The Art of Innovation and The Ten Faces of Innovation, spoke at Stanford today and here are some highlight notes:
1. Pablo Picasso: Every Child is An Artist
2. Gordon MacKenzie: What happened to all the artists? It's ok to be an artist
3. Start good habits- think like a traveler, treat life as an experiment, Nurture an Attitude of Wisdom, Use your whole brain (Daniel Pink) and Tortoise Mind and Follow your passion (Francis Coppola)
4. Marcel Proust: The real act of discovery consists not in finding new lands but in seeing with new eyes.
5. I haven't failed. I've just found ten thousand ways that do not work- Thomas Edison
6. James Dyson WD-40: Tolerated 5000+ failures
7. Mark Twain: It's not what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that ain't so.
8. Daydream and Find your own muse
9. Intersecting Circles (Jim Collins): Good at, Born to Do, Pay you to do
10. Stay young at heart
11. Be solution finders less problem solvers
