FROM DILIP MUKERJEA

"Genius is in-born, may it never be still-born."

"Oysters, irritated by grains of sand, give birth to pearls. Brains, irritated by curiosity, give birth to ideas."

"Brainpower is the bridge to the future; it is what transports you from wishful thinking to willful doing."

"Unless you keep learning & growing, the status quo has no status."

INTELLIGENT MEMORY & THE FLASH OF INSIGHT

Here's the link to an interesting & yet refreshing article from the 'strategy+business' newsletter, by William Duggan, a professor at Columbia Business School, where he teaches innovation, & the author of 'Strategic Intuition: The Creative Spark in Human Achievement'.

In a nut shell, that flash of insight - the AhA moment - needs both analysis & intuition.

The author's extrapolation of the four vital steps from military general von Clausewitz is fascinating: example from history, presence of mind, flash of insight & resolution.

So, my good friend Dilip is right: ''There is no learning [now read: creativity] without memory!''
