Wk-2 Reading- The Art of Possibility 1-4
the original idea... its out there i just have a hard i=time finding it. well according to chapert 1 of The Art of Possibility by the Zanders' tells me to not think like that any more. the human brain is designed to solves problems so use it that way. you must first decide where there is a need. Then you must decide what the need is. finally you must come up whit a way to provide for that need. This would then give you the original idea to help the problem. It doesn't matter if you have original thought behind the process. So long ads you have a need that needs to be filled. Everything may have already been invented but the applications are endless and the way people invent to use the ideas is always original.

This book has gotten me thinking in a completely different way and I know that I will go to work tomorrow and see my students in a different perspective.
ReplyDeleteZig Ziglar, motivational speaker, once said, “find a need and fill it....and be a meaningful specific instead of a wondering generality.” He wrote a book called “See You at the Top.” Also, Robert Schuller wrote a book called “Possibility Thinking.” I think all of these ideas come by way of Napoleon Hill , the master thinker was his mentor, Andrew Carnegie. I think a lot of these ideas come from this chain somewhere. I agree with your last sentence in your post. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading that part of this book and in general reading all 4 chapters, I have thought about my thought process of why I do the things I do or say and WHY. This is so hilarious to think about but sometimes I ask my husband WHY he would do that. Most of the time he replies that he doesn't know but underneath the surface if he really pondered it, I bet he would realize :D
