Quotebook: Perspective

One of my favorite quotes, so packed with insight, is that “perspective is worth 80 IQ points.”  Coined by the brilliant Alan Kay, this quote reminds us that smarter is directly related to perspective or point-of-view.

I like to say, don’t be surprised that you never see a better way of doing something if you never walk around and look at it from another angle.

“Perspective is worth 80 IQ points.”  What insurmountable challenge would become a thing of the past if you only changed your perspective?
