New thinking

"It would be great if pupils, students, people... - in addition to established ways of thinking (analyze, criticize, argue, categorize, defend our own perspective) - had chance to learn to think in other ways (cooperative research, constructively plan the future, simplify, take into account perspectives and perceptions of others, focus)."

Nastja Mulej, Council 4 New Thinking

Science-Fiction, Science-Passion.

"The feeling of awed wonder that science can give us is one of the highest experiences of which the human psyche is capable. It is a deep aesthetic passion to rank with the finest that music and poetry can deliver. It is truly one of the things that makes life worth living and it does so, if anything, more effectively if it convinces us that the time we have for living it is finite."

"... people usually experience as work what they have to do by some external force, whereas to experience something as play, they must feel that they have chosen to do it voluntarily."

Ouch.

"We do not invest in an idea, but in an enterpreneur or enterpreneur team. We have checked apx. 400 business plans in last three years and the idea itself is worth nothing in business. There is always 10 Slovenes more with the same idea, 50 Europeans, 100 Chinese... Business is competition - who will have the best team, the best strategy, the best marketing."

Random existence.

"It is weird and unfair, said Gauss, pure example of lousy randomness of existence, that you are born in certain time and you belong to it if you want it or not. This gives you certain advantage compared to past, but it makes fun of you compared to future."

The Pattern: time-, world- and culture-wide.

"The easiest way to rule the crowds is to use credulity and fear, two basic weaknesses of people."

Shit in life.

"Na svetu ima puno sranja al ponekad život nije loš." (Bajaga "& Peter Tosh", Pesma Slobode)

"There is a lot of shit in the world but sometimes life is not bad." (Bajaga "& Peter Tosh", Song of Freedom)

Desire to create.

"We must not forget that greatest creations - whether in art or in science - occurred spontaneously, without specific needs, pressures, deadlines. They emerged as a result of great desire to create and of great dedication to the idea."

Assoc. prof. dr. Borut Likar, MBA, Faculty of Management Koper, director of the Institute for Innovation and Technology

Hard workers wanted.

Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it. (Henry Ford)
