“THE ART OF NON-CONFORMING”

The basic failure of our time, future historians may well decide, has lain in the too ready acceptance of current orthodoxies, whether through fear of being suspected of rebelliousness and consequently punished, or just as a result of succumbing to mass persuasion…

-Malcolm Muggeridge (1953)

      Focus on understanding the problem well by asking a lot of good questions … don’t leap to solving the problem or focusing on the solution.
