Just as Muhammad Ali, often acknowledged as the world's greatest boxer of all time, put it so eloquently:

“The man who has no imagination has no wings.”

Just sharing an interesting quote from astronomer Carl Sagan!

PRAGMATIC ADVICE FROM THE WISE

"Critical thinking, without creative and intuitive insights, without the search for new patterns, is sterile and doomed. To solve complex problems requires the activity of both cerebral hemispheres; the path to the future lies through the corpus callosum."

~ Carl Sagan, (1934-1996), American astronomer, astrochemist & astrophysicist;

Hip, Hip, Hurray!

As Dilip Mukerjea has so eloquently put it in his book, 'Unleashing Genius, with the World Most Powerful Learning Systems':

"Genius is unleashed when both the 'left' and the 'right' attributes of the brain are working in harmony with one another."

This is how Dilip & I envision it:

LOGIC + IMAGINATION

REASONING + INTUITION

DETAILS + BIG PICTURE

ORDER + CHAOS OR CHAORDIC!

CONVERGENT + DIVERGENT OR SYNVERGENT!

ALGORITHMIC + "FUZZY WOOLY FEEL"

THINKING + DAYDREAMING

COOL HEAD + GUT FEEL

HARD-NOSE + SOFT-FOCUS

FORECASTS WITH NUMBERS + SCENARIOS WITH STORIES

SERIOUSNESS + FUN

WORK + PLAY OR PLORK!

SCANNING THE HORIZON + GROKKING THE FUTURE

ANALYSIS OVER TIME + SYNTHESIS OVER SPACE

TRAVERSING THE MAINSTREAM + STRADDLING THE FRINGES

LINEAR EXTRAPOLATION + RANDOM JUXTAPOSTION

ABSTRACT CONCEPTUALISATION + RAPID PROTOTYPING

ONE-TRACK, STOP-START MOTION + MULTI-DIMENSIONAL,OMNI-DIRECTIONAL PERPETUAL MOTION

INSIDE THE CIRCLE + OUTSIDE THE CIRCLE
