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."

WALKING THE TALK: LEADERS ARE READERS!

Like Einstein, Dilip always has a book with him.

Whenever Dilip is not crafting new ideas, or cogitating on his next new book, or coaching, or consulting or clowning around with kids (as well as professional adults), he is reading!

I always remember the exhortation from futurist, film maker & author Joel Arthur Barker, ever since I had read his debut & classic book, 'The Business of Paradigms: Discovering the Future',

"The cheapest most powerful way to stretch your paradigms & improve your strategic exploration skills is to read."

As a matter of fact, futurists like Peter Schwartz & Faith Popcorn said more or less the same thing.
