In this episode
A definition and a hard look at the episode's theme, plus 12 of Eli's aphorisms, Albert Einstein and Akio Morita from great minds.

Eli’s Aphorisms
“Don't mistake motion for action.”
“Management manages within paradigms. Leadership leads across paradigms.”
“You can't whistle a symphony.”
“If you let your customer talk long enough, he'll tell you what's wrong. If you listen longer, he'll tell you how to fix it.”
“If you want to become a great writer, never stop writing.”
“Never stop writing. Best single piece of advice I could ever give.”
“Becoming a great writer is evolutionary in every Darwinian sense of the word.”
“Editing is simple; revising is what turns a good piece into a great piece.”
“Great writers are great readers.”
“The big question is, are we using AI or is AI using us?”
“Life is simple. It's never easy, but it's simple.”
“When I read a particularly good passage, I read it a second time—the first for what was said, the second for how it was said.”

From Great Minds
“It's not because I'm smarter than anybody else. I'm infinitely more curious. When some people find a needle in a haystack, they stop looking. I look for more needles.” — Albert Einstein
“Curiosity is the key to success.” — Akio Morita
