R. Buckminster Fuller Trying Quotations

I'm not trying to copy Nature, I'm trying to find the principles she's using.

Nature is trying very hard to make us succeed, but nature does not depend on us. We are not the only experiment.

Don't try to make me consistent. I am learning all the time.

I'm not trying to counsel any of you to do anything really special except dare to think. And to dare to go with the truth. And to dare to really love completely.

. . . So I vowed to keep myself alive, but only if I would never use me again for just me - each one of us is born of two, and we really belong to each other. I vowed to do my own thinking, instead of trying to accommodate everyone else's opinion, credo's and theories. I vowed to apply my inventory of experiences to the solving of problems that affect everyone aboard planet Earth.

In order to change an existing paradigm you do not struggle to try and change the problematic model. You create a new model and make the old one obsolete.
