Power of Simplicity by Alan Kay
Alan Kay, 2015: Power of Simplicity - YouTube
"Grand Canyon" syndrome: not seeing the whole picture from inside
focus on asking good new questions, not on solving obvious ones
25 researches in Xerox Parc with 10 major inventions
companies are interested in $ billions, and inventions are in $ trillion range.
10 year visions, 5 year horizons, 3 year inventions
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
- Wayne Gretzky at BrainyQuote
A good hockey player plays where the puck is.
A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.

"the present is the least interesting time to live in" (future is interesting :)
"before you can deal with the present, you need to deal with the future"
