In this week we had interesting class activity related to lateral thinking. Lateral thinking, in a simple way is using imagination to see the problem from other perspective.
The first exercise was connecting 9 dots in one line without lifting the pencil.
The second one was to make one continuous line without lifting the pencil.
the third one, we were given a case of a bee that went in the house through window and went straight to a painting of roses hanging on whiteboard, passing a fresh rose inside the vase. Why would the bee prefer painting instead of rose in the vase?
-the painting has more rose than the one in the vase
-its sense of smell has got broken
-some of its body system/organ got broken so it only could fly straight
-the vase smelled so strong that it hides the smell of rose
-the fresh rose was picked
-the chemical smell of the painting was strong that it blur the bee's receptors signal.
-it was a young rose in the vase (doesn't produce nectar)
-it was 3d painting
-the roses in painting was much more vibrant
-there was honey drops in painting
-The bee was excited because it was huge painting!
-The artist used honey instead of oil
-the bee was born this way
-the white board where the painting was hang made the bee think it was outdoor
-the bee is a collector
-The bee is more into visual
-the bee suffered stiff neck
Lateral thinking made us think the other side rather than one most people would focus on, so the solving would be most likely much more creative and innovative, where it fits the world nowadays that has such a huge demands on everything.
This remind me of my teacher back then, who was not into book at all but appear really smart, and he was not just theorizing, he was really thinking about one case and compare it to other to find a bridge. The way he learned was by being observant of the current issue, asking opinion of other student in a way that he was really willing to learn, and watched TV. Yet I can say that his perspective of seeing the world was so smart and genuine. I think if we are willing to learn, we can make everything around us into something valuable.

-it was a young rose in the vase (doesn't produce nectar)
-It was not a honey bee
-the bee had enough nectar already
-the kind of flowers on the painting was known producing more nectar than rose-it was 3d painting
-the roses in painting was much more vibrant
-there was honey drops in painting
