PRAGMATIC INSIGHTS FROM THE EXPERTS

"You don't get results by solving problems, but by exploiting opportunities."

from John Naisbitt, one of the world's leading social forecasters & international best-selling author of books on megatrends; this particular mindset comes from his latest book, 'Mindset! Reset Your Thinking & See the Future'.

I particularly like his analogical story about 'the elephant in the boa constrictor'. In a nut shell, the 'Little Prince' was able to look at a child's drawing & see it for what it was, but adults were only able to interpret it as a drawing of a hat.

That's another excellent way to portray paradigms at work.

In his above-mentioned book, the author has hailed China as a shining example of where the foregoing mindset is being applied with astonishing effect.

"China has become a nation of opportunity seekers, trusting that any problem can be solved along the way. The competitive advantage of today's China, as a nation & as a people, is their willingness to adapt to what is necessary & beneficial," he added.
