Roger von Oech via Gary King...
My mantra is “Look for the Second Right Answer.” This has been my guiding principle for over thirty years. Much of our educational system tries to teach us to look for the “one right answer.”I find that looking for the second right answer is an incredibly easy way to open my mind. For example, when I’m looking for information, this mantra tells me to go beyond the right answers that have worked in the past and look for others. When I’m trying to be creative, it playfully advises me to put my ideas in unusual contexts to give them new meanings.

If you like that bit, I highly recommend Roger von Oech's books. In particularly, A Wack on the Side of the Head was fantastic.
It's a book about creativity and things you can do to be more creative. "The Second Right Answer" was one of the suggestions he has in his book.
