"Felix qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas" is latin for "Fortunate is he who has been able to learn the causes of things." I feels that this thought accurately depicts the type of person I am. A solution isn't always crystal clear and it's important to first find out how something works and then develop a better way to do it.
The first step in creating a great product isn't a stunning photograph or a clever headline. It's a concept: a broad notion of how to engage the user's mind to deliver a message or a service, that is why I understand that 2+2 simply doesn't always equal 4. "2+2=4" is true for certain definitions of "2", "+" "=" and "4" and false for other definitions, for example, adding 2 raindrops to 2 raindrops does not give 4 raindrops, mixing 2 liters of water with 2 liters of alcohol does not yield 4 liters of liquid and if you break a crumb in half, you don't get two half crumbs, you get two crumbs.
Words or signs rarely have meanings independent of other words and signs. Whether a statement is true or not depends upon what it means, and what it means depends upon its context—especially the context of its interconnectedness with other words or signs--and the background against which the meaning of the words and signs are learned.
It's all about the concept.
