Thinking Out of The Box

I have joined a management course in previous week, it is a 2 days course, on Thursday and Friday. Same as the title of this post, the title of the course named Thinking Out of The Box. I am very much looking forward into this course because of the name, sure I will have different experience compare with other courses I have attended before.

It talks all about thinking, brain function, memory, the right way to solve a problem. Why do we need to think about thinking while we don't have to think when we breathe, walk and talk? This is because we want to utilized our intelligent, intelligent can be likened to the engine of a car, thinking process is the driver, how you utilize the power of a car is how you think.

The origin of thinking is come from The Gang of Three, they are Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. Socrates emphasized that after you attacked a question with all those bad, it will only have the truth. This is like what most people are doing now to the government, they point out what is wrong with the policy, without any constructive opinion. With this kind of thinking, we can only think of the bad and we won't go for constructive idea.

Plato believe there is always a truth if you really look hard into it, means you have to stand tough enough for your target, this kind of thinking is like you seldom accept different opinion, just like what our Prime Minister doing right now, he don't even know what the peoples want.

Aristotle, he is a very logical person, everything is based on experience, box is square, ball is round. This kind of thinking can be likened to those stubborn politician these day, they insist there must have quota(this means they can go in easily without challenge) for certain races in University, in fact, they can actually train those races to be more competitive. This kind of thinking may not think of any gray area, either is or is not.

OK, that's what I have today, let's talk about the rest in next post.

Possibility is everywhere.
