The Laws of the Systems Thinking:
Today’s problems come from yesterday’s solutions.
Solutions shift problems from one part of a system to another.
The easy way out usually leads back in.
Familiar solutions that are easy to implement usually do not solve the problem.
The cure can be worse than the disease.
Faster is slower.
The optimal rate of growth is much slower than the fastest growth possible.
You can have your cake and eat it too – but not at once.
Problems viewed from a systems point of view, as opposed to a single snapshot, can turn out not to be problems at all.
Dividing an elephant in half does not produce two small elephants.
