“Intuition is a combination of insight and imagination that was once attributed to spiritual communication. Mathematicians call it 'fuzzy logic,' drawing conclusions from vague or subjective input. The mind becomes aware without the direct intervention of reasoning. Once you can imagine something you can begin the process of creating it.

Success in business may depend on an accurate gut.” IfsMindMayUseSpiritualProcessImaginationDecisionBusinessImagineProductsCommunicationDependsCreatingDirectLogicInvestmentDenyInsightIntuitionDrawingConclusionCombinationReasoningGutsExecutivesAccurateBusiness SuccessMathematicianVagueSubjectiveInterventionHiringInputFuzzyDrawing Conclusions Book:Thinking In The Future Tense Source: Thinking In The Future Tense

“Imagine that Queen Elizabeth I, in her time, had the opportunity to give out a monopoly for playing cards within the kingdom. She knew she was going to give it to one of her courtiers. These courtiers would then all try to curry her favour. Meanwhile, they would not contribute anything to the product of the kingdom, in fact, they were wasting resources trying to secure a single prize.
