Page 135 - THE DO-IT-YOURSELF LOBOTOMY Open Your Mind to Greater Creative Thinking

126 COLLABORATE WITH GENIUS

Are you choosing to be guided by brilliant people, standing on the
shoulders of giants, or are you standing on the shoulders of mental
midgets, the dullards who do what’s been done a thousand times before
in your industry? If your source of inspiration is to watch wrestling on
TV, I’m not convinced you’re going to nourish your mind. High-
achieving people constantly try to elevate their minds and continually
strive to be inspired by one another. We discuss this at length toward
the end of the book (Chapter 21) when I speak to biographies as some
of the greatest creative thinking textbooks ever written.
