Thinking Out Of The Box

Solutions for your financial woes. Some times, people get bogged down by their problems and it just seem like there is no solution out of it. Bouncing ideas off a friend can help provided your friend is positive and not in a financial mess himself. The thing about financial problems is, most people rather hide it behind a facade “that everything if ok”. I don’t have a problem. If you have read my earlier post about teambuilding, you can see, how I’ve benefitted when working in a team and got multiple ideas within a short time.

Most of the time, things in life aren’t that complicated. If you think it is complicated, then you hare already limited your possible solutions. You have just built yourself a brick wall. Another method you can try to train yourself to solve puzzles. Puzzles basically twist your mind from your normal way of thinking a force you to think in a different angle. The person who came out with the puzzle already know what is the normal way most people think, and they design it in such a way to stretch your mind. Try this simple puzzle out.

You are driving your 2 seater car alone on a stormy night, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and see three people waiting for a bus:

1. An family man who looks as if he is about to die,

2. An old friend who saved your life once,

3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car? Your decision might be based on the following.

* You could pick up the family man, because he is going to die, and thus you should save him first;

* or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be opprotunity to repay him.

* However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again. How would you choose? Try to solve it before you look for the answer below.

The perfect answer to meet all 3 need would be. Hand the car to the old friend and let him take the family man to the hospital. You would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams! Possible, yes.
