Are you Connecting dots or collecting dots (and just spinning your wheels)?

A great insight from Seth Godin. Our stroke medical world seems to never want to actually connect research to solutions because that would require intellectual challenge.

Connecting dots (or collecting dots) 

Without a doubt, the ability to connect the dots is rare, prized and valuable. Connecting dots, solving the problem that hasn't been solved before, seeing the pattern before it is made obvious, is more essential than ever before.
Why then, do we spend so much time collecting dots instead? More facts, more tests, more need for data, even when we have no clue (and no practice) in doing anything with it.
Their big bag of dots isn't worth nearly as much as your handful of insight, is it?

 

Ask your doctor whether they are a connector or collector or just a useless bag of mostly water.
