Don't Go with the flow - or the status quo
I love Einstein -- not because of what he accomplished -- but because he really and truly believed that he was right and the status quo was wrong. No exceptions.
I like when people go against the status quo and most inventors are successful when they go left while everyone else is going right.
The Creative Creativity Blog provides us with some great quotes from Albert Einstein on creativity and imagination. Notice how a lot of the quotes focus on the importance of the imagination (an inventor's best friend, MN). My favorite is "Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere."
Enjoy the quotes and let your imagination help you invent the next big thing!!
If at first, the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.
We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.
Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.
The important thing is to not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.
Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.
Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.
The mere formulation of a problem is far more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skills. To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle requires creative imagination and marks real advances in science.
