“We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”

Albert Einstein

“We must create ideas that are both simple and profound. The Golden Rule is the ultimate model of simplicity: a one-sentence statement so profound that an individual could spend a lifetime learning to follow it.”

aus dem Buch “Made to Stick

“There’s instant positive feedback to such constant activities as checking email, surfing the web, checking social networks such as blogs, forums, Twitter and Facebook. That’s why it’s so easy to become addicted to being connected and distracted.”

Leo Babauta

Steve Jobs Commencement Speech 2005

schon ein wenig älter, aber immer wieder inspirierend.

“When you’re young, you look at television and think, ‘There’s a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down.’ But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That’s a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It’s the truth.”

Steve Jobs

“I find myself thinking of a checklist Wozniak wrote a few years ago describing how to become a genius. His advice was straightforward yet strangely terrible: You must clarify your goals, gain knowledge through spaced repetition, preserve health, work steadily, minimize stress, refuse interruption, and never resist sleep when tired.”

Der Algorithmus zum Genie werden… also:

  • klare Ziele
  • Wissen aneignen durch ständiges Wiederholen
  • gesund bleiben
  • ununterbrochen Arbeiten
  • Stress minimalisieren
  • nicht unterbrechen und ablenken lassen
  • und falls man wirklich müde ist, schlafen

“I was absolutely horrified to see a book entitled ‘C++ for dummies’. What is the potential market for this book? What programmer considers themself to be a dummy? Who wants to run code written by a dummy? And perhaps more importantly, someone who *considers themselves* to be a dummy?”
