i've started to read this bk by E. de Bono. finsihed the first 2 chapters and he was explaining the differences between lateral and vertical thinking. Lateral is a A-Z-B-C-G, a more general, less restictive, indirect to /more options to solutions, more "creative"/"general" way of thinking; while Vertical is A-B-C-D, direct and to the point thinking.
llateral thinking ppl will go on and on to look for the solutions and vertical will know wht the solution is and dig in deeper to that exact direction. i think i m some what more towards a lateral thinking person. When i think, i tend to think of the unconventional ways rather than the usual pattern. The bk also said that our brain is used to the standardized pattern will go step by step with that 'standardized" direction. however, if that diretion didn't work out, the standard is no longer the standard and that will freak the vertical thinking person out as they realized they hv to repatternized their steps and do it over again to work out the 'correct' way.
it's so hard to be a vertical thinking person coz i find it hard to figured out/ make sure the correct way to dig in. such as my career, my "hobby", i hv so many interests and i never really dig into any so that i m really gd at one. i can play the piano, i can swim, i can sing, i can design.. but i hvn't really dig into any of those deep /long enuf. Also with my religion. i believe in G but i dun read the Bible. I m a emo-Chrisitian.. i used my emotion to control my relationship with G. Also with my reading, I always go to the bookstore to pick out new bks that i m interested, but i seldom finsih reading them. hmm.. acatully, i dun think this is a gd example. aynway, just saying i m glad i m knowing more about myself and what i shd improve on.
work it up girl! and yes, i'll eat healthy, exercise and hv a healthy lifestyle. Glad that my body gave me an alert at this early age.
