The tyranny of success?

"The philosopher George Santayana (I think) once said that if you do not learn from the mistakes of the past you are doomed to repeat them. This is true but so also is the following:

If you learn from the successes of the past you are doomed to be trapped by them.

Success always stops us thinking."
Edward de Bono (15 October 2007)
