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."

WHAT DO YOU SEE? [Hint: It's a graphic symbol!]

I have captured the following snapshots of the Fedex ad from Monday's issue of 'The Straits Times', Home Page, front page, for a specific purpose.

Can you see it?



The lesson from this simple exercise:

Opportunities are often right in front of you. The question is whether you can see them.

As America's most prolific inventor Thomas Edison once said:

"We often miss opportunity because it's dressed in overalls and looks like work"

Meanwhile, I also like to drive home my vital lessons from the late creativity maestro Dr Edward de Bono:

"Most of the mistakes in thinking are inadequacies of perception rather than mistakes of logic."

"The reason that many opportunities pass us by is a perceptual one: we do not recognise an opportunity for what it is. An opportunity exists only when we see it."

"Everyone is surrounded by opportunities. But they only exist once they have been seen. And they will only be seen if they are looked for."
