Einstein, the Marketing and Business Genius
January 25, 2008 – 12:09 pmI ran across this post. If Einstein wrote a business and marketing book, what would be the names of the chapters? Go to the post to review the authors comments on each chapter.
1. “Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
2. “A perfection of means, and confusion of aims, seems to be our main problem.”
3. “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”
4. “Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.”
5. “Any fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage — to move in the opposite direction.”
6. “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.”
7. “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”
8. “I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.”
9. “Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.”
10. “Most people say that is it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character.”
I would also add:
“I haven’t failed, I just found 100,000 ways that don’t work.”
“Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty, lies opportunity.”
