Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.Mahatma Gandhi - Indian ascetic & nationalist leader (1869 - 1948)

It is hard to let old beliefs go. They are familiar. We are comfortable with them and have spent years building systems and developing habits that depend on them.

Today, however, we need new lenses. And we need to throw the old ones away.Kenich Ohmae
