Classic de Bono: … Possibility Over the years Dr Edward de Bono has shared great insights through his messages. This series of blogs revisits some of those highlights.

Possibility 

As so often happens, language is short of many words. We need a simple word which indicates the following: “What you say is not wrong. I do not disagree with it. But it is only one possibility (explanation, perception, etc.). We need to be aware of other possibilities and even to look for them. Here is one other possibility.” That is quite a mouthful, and a simple indicative word would have a high value. Our thinking habits are so obsessed with ‘right/wrong’ that ‘possibility’ always gets insufficient attention. The reasons for this are obvious because our thinking habits are all judgement based.
