Seven Myths
1. Challenge
Myth
The problem is painfully complex
“Development”
1. Challenge
Reality
The solution is painfully simple
“Design”
A designer knows he has achieved perfection
not when there is nothing left to add, but
when there is nothing left to take away.
2. Solution
Myth
Only top-down reform can save us
“Policy”
2. Solution
Reality
Only a bottom-up revolution will save us
“Mechanism”
Problems cannot be solved by the
same level of thinking that created
them.
3. Fight
Myth
They are the problem, and must be changed
“Replace”
3. Fight
Reality
We are the problem, and must change
ourselves
“Improve”
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,
committed people can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
4. Leadership
Myth
We must take political power
“Control”
4. Leadership
Reality
We must provide moral authority
“Trust”
I am not interested in power for power's
sake, but I'm interested in power that is
moral, that is right and that is good.
5.Truth
Myth
We must know the answer
“Ideas”
5.Truth
Reality
We are learning the answer
“Process”
Genius is one percent inspiration,
ninety-nine percent perspiration.
6. Product

“Culture”
Let me write the songs of a nation
– I don't care who writes its laws.
7. Enemies
Myth
Opposition threatens us
“Fear and Anger”
7. Enemies
Reality
Opposition strengthens us
“Peace”
First they ignore you, then they
ridicule you, then they fight you,
then you win.
