More Than One Answer
Creative thinkers (clowns specifically) need to look for more than one way to solve a situation.
If a clown see's a dollar bill on the other side of a rain puddle, what would he do to pick up the dollar? There's more than one answer. And one of the key things to coming up with a great answer is by coming up with a great number of answers first. Then, one can pick a quality answer from the quantity of answers.
I recently read this: (author unknown)
This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.
You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night. You pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for the bus:
1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect man (or) woman you have been dreaming
about.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car.
You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first; or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back.
However, you may never be able to find your perfect dream lover again.
The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. I love this... WHAT DID HE SAY?
He simply answered: "I would give the car keys to my old friend, and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the woman of my dreams."
Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."
