Over the years Dr Edward de Bono has shared great insights through his messages. This series of blogs revisits some of those highlights.
‘Possible’
Children grow up with the idea of right and wrong, true and false, things you can do and things you cannot do. There is no opportunity for them to develop the concept of ‘possible’. Maybe their young brains could not hold such a concept. Education reinforces the basic true/false dichotomy. This is a huge handicap to a thinker. ‘Possible’ is a much more important part of thinking than we have ever acknowledged. This goes beyond hypothesis which is just one form of the possible.Edward de Bono, 2nd September 2006
