Wafik El-Deiry: Out of the box solutions require patience by the listener

Wafik El-Deiry shared a post on X:

“Out of the box solutions require patience by the listener or audience.

Solutions are often creative, and those who are quick to be dismissive, sometimes appear to lack imagination.

When facing difficult problems in science or medicine, humility, and respect for others are critical as is teamwork across disciplines.”
