These were all students that studied with Marshall Thurber BEFORE they became successful!

Who did Marshall Thurber study with?

R. Buckminster Fuller "For the first time in history it is now possible to take care of everybody at a higher standard of living than any have ever known…All humanity now has the option of becoming enduringly successful." - Buckminster Fuller,

R. Buckminster Fuller, known by his friends as "Bucky", has undeniably been one of the key innovators in the 20th century. Much like Ben Franklin, Bucky was a Comprehensivist. He was philosopher, thinker, visionary, inventor, architect, engineer, mathematician, poet, and cosmologist. Buckminster Fuller was one of the first futurists and global thinkers. He coined the term "Spaceship Earth."

Bucky’s Dymaxion Map of the world is first world projection to show the continents on a flat surface without visible distortion. Furthermore, this view shows the earth as being essentially one island in one ocean.

Bucky popularized the term Synergy, where the result is always greater than the sum of its parts. Synergy in know understood to be a basic principle of all interactive systems. Bucky’s work in this area created the science of Synergetics, a "Geometry of Thinking".

Fuller is the inventor of the Geodesic dome, and was a pioneer in utilizing basic geometical shapes in design. Bucky predicted the existence of what is now known as Fullerenes. They are a family of carbon allotropes, molecules composed entirely of carbon, in the form of a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, tube, or plane . Spherical fullerenes are also called buckyballs, and cylindrical ones are called buckytubes. Fullerenes were discovered after Bucky’s death and Richard Smalley and this discovery earned Smalley a Nobel Prize.

A key focus for Buckminster Fuller was the development of "Comprehensive Anticipatory Design Science.", The purpose was to anticipate and solve humanity's major problems by providing "more and more life support for everybody, with less and less resources." Fuller routinely demonstrated his ideas in what he called "artifacts", tangible prototypes or models of designs and principles.

W. Edwards Deming The father of the world wide quality movement, Deming is considered by U.S. News and World Report as one of the “Nine Hidden Points in History.” Dr. W. Edwards Deming is known as the father of the Japanese post-war industrial revival and was regarded by many as the leading quality guru in the United States. Trained as a statistician, his expertise was used during World War II to assist the United States in its effort to improve the quality of war materials.

He was invited to Japan at the end of World War II by Japanese industrial leaders and engineers. Dr. Deming told the group that if they would follow his directions, they could shift the perception of the world from the existing paradigm that Japan produced cheap, shoddy imitations to one of producing innovative quality products in five years. Few of the leaders believed him. But they were ashamed to say so and would be embarrassed if they failed to follow his suggestions

Much later Deming was invited to Ford Motor Company when it was losing $1.5 billion a quarter. Deming predicted that if Ford was to survive it had to focus on creating the most value added (DyVal) automobile possible. The Ford Taurus was the outcome of Deming’s DyVal focus. It became Ford’s best selling car ever and saved the company from bankruptcy.

Georgi Lozanov A professor of psychiatry and psychotherapy from Bulgaria developed who is now credited with creating the foundation for Accelerated Learning. His early program, which focused on teaching a foreign language, included relaxation, visual arts and music. Students learned from one hundred to one thousand new vocabulary words a day with at least ninety-eight percent retention. He called his new method "Suggestology," based on the theory that suggestions can and do affect the outcome of learning.

According to Lozanov, Suggestology is an organized way of augmenting natural learning. It builds on those methods that allow us to learn most effectively and efficiently, emulating some of the ways we learned as a young child. Suggestology recaptures the natural learning process and accelerates the understanding and retention of content.
