The shortest path between two points is a straight line. But when we talk about thoughts, mental processes and especially creativity, that straight line is simple, common and sometimes boring. Sometimes people surprise us by proposing unexpected solutions to specific problems, how to change a light bulb? How to put on a swimming cap? or how to prepare food? We are born without knowing, but with all the potential to learn. In the process we establish patterns and paths in our mind, and the more we grow/learn, it may happen that doors or possible neural interconnections close to get from one point to another, not always by the shortest path. Discovering other paths can be fun and take longer to enjoy the process more. To do this we can discover lateral thinking , with practice and play it can be developed and enhanced. We can come up with infinite solutions to a problem, go from one point to another, even when from the start we see the solution as impossible.
What is the number that, being half of eight, when multiplied by two does not give eight? Lateral Thinking can be defined as a new way of thinking to find new and imaginative Cocos Islands Keeling Email List solutions to specific problems. Think laterally or parallel to how we usually do when faced with a problem. We can say that it is facing the problem and looking for a solution where it is not usual or not through the process established by the canons. Interesting Wikipedia link; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_thinking It is an important part of developing or strengthening a creative mind or intelligence. As everything in this world can be learned, some start from their “gift” or predisposition, others may find it more difficult to realize and let that part of the unknown human mind grow.
There are several interesting books to get started or delve deeper into this new way of thinking, Lateral Thinking. The most widespread and well-known in our language is: Lateral thinking: the author's creativity manual; Edward De Bono Editorial Paidós, 1998 – 320 pages We can exercise, train and loosen our minds to facilitate finding new resolution paths through lateral thinking by playing and learning in a fun way. There are images, graphic puzzles, mathematical problems, narratives and questions that question our way of thinking, and are a challenge for the most thoughtful, but not the most intelligent . I leave you some links with some interesting games, questions and tests to start seeing the level of your lateral thinking, and to be able to exercise a new vision of the world, of the mind against problems. And remember when faced with a problem; dont worry; if it has a solution; dont worry. And if there is no solution; dont worry.
