Convictions in our ideas is dangerous not only because it leaves us vulnerable to false positives, but also because it stops us from generating the requisite variety to reach our creative potential.

If you want your children to bring original ideas into the world, you need to let them pursue their passions, not yours.

We all have original ideas. Even if we don't see ourselves as supercreative or as wild nonconformists, we have insights every day about how the world around us could be better. It might be a better way of running meetings in your office that would be less mind-numbing. It might be a little twist on a product or a service.

One can steal ideas, but no one can steal execution or passion.

I love discovering compelling new ideas and doing what I can to help spread the word about them.

Disney usually doesn't do pitches for original ideas.
