Improve Continuously to be Better, Creative Thinker || Farhana Yousufi
Creative Thinking…
A broke businessman owed big amount of money to a
loan shark. The lonely, old loan shark had a big interest on the broke
businessman’s only daughter. So he came to the businessman with a proposal for
a test. The test is- the man will put two similar looking, small brick
pieces in a small bag. A black one and a red one. Then he will ask the daughter
to pick one out without looking. If she picks the black one the debt on the
businessman will be wiped but the loan-shark would then marry her. If she picks
the red one then the debt on the businessman will be wiped but the daughter
wouldn’t have to marry him.
The broke businessman had to agree and all of them
went to a road covered with brick pieces in front of the whole villagers. The
loan shark took two brick pieces from the road and put it in the bag. But the
clever daughter noticed him putting two black brick pieces on the road instead
of one red and one black.
In this situation, a common person would reveal
this cheating in front of the villagers. But the intelligent daughter thought
out of the box and did completely different thing. She took out one brick piece
and casually dropped it on the road. Since it was mixed up with all the other
bricks of the road she requested the villagers to check the remaining brick in
the bag. Which would mean she actually picked the other brick.
The brick left in the bag is obviously black, and
seeing as the loan-shark didn’t want to be exposed, he had to play along as if
the brick the daughter dropped was red, and clear her father’s debt.
Dear colleagues:
In life whenever we are put in front of any challenges, tough
situations;
unlike any other common people, we will think out of the box continuously
to get improved results. We will continuously
improve our thinking capability to handle uncomfortable
situations better than ever.
