Leading Thoughts for August 24, 2023

Leading Thoughts

IDEAS shared have the power to expand perspectives, change thinking, and move lives. Here are two ideas for the curious mind to engage with:

I.

Architect Frank Gehry on curiosity:

“Question everything. Curiosity is the lifeblood of creativity. Growing up as a Jew, I studied the Talmud, which continually poses questions. This was the foundation for my way of thinking. I continually ask, ‘Why do we have to do it this way? Can’t it be done this way?’ This trait has been critical to my work.”

II.

Stonyfield Co-founder Gary Hirshberg on challenging the status quo:

“Think on your own and question authority. Authority is a short-lived phenomenon. It’s who is in charge now, but that doesn’t mean that they are right. So-called experts are often wrong. Also, just because something has been done one way for many years doesn’t mean that it can’t be altered. Challenging conventional wisdom can be scary, but most major changes happen because someone asked: ‘Why not do it differently?’ If you don’t ask, you don’t get.”
