Now i put a problem for you:
.....A man walks into a bar, and asks the bartender for a drink of water. The bartender pulls out a gun and points it at the man. The man says "Thank you" and leaves. What happened?....
From birth we learn to see and understand things one way. We understand the words of one way.
But when we dared to think differently, there are different solutions. In general, we rely on our eyes, when in fact we have more senses. Sometimes it isn´t seeing, but touching, smelling, hearing or tasting something that is resolved.
Leave aside the only way we see the world. Well, that is lateral thinking. Nothing has a unique solution. Not everything is what we see through the eyes, for we have other four senses something more. We just have to use and learn to see, to do with the other senses. Not everything is what we see with the eyes. There's always more, much more. We just have to learn to see.
Lateral thinking is a term coined by Edward de Bono in his book The New Think: The Use of Lateral Thinking published in 1967.
The answer of the previous problem is that the man had hiccup, is a easy answer but we need think different, not everything is as it seems!!
The words that are in italic tag is because with this post, today, i learned these words.
