“आदतन तो सोचेंगे होता यूँ तो क्या होता मगर जाने दे. . . .”

,Hey! In which mode are you? Wait….talking about your thoughts.

I got up and thought,. . . .

How to prepare for the interview?

What to cook?

How will be the day?

Will I achieve my target?

How the boss is going to react?

Shall I take a leave?

My presentation, my speech, reply to mails, how family will react?

Financial issues, family concerns and it goes beyond till we sleep!

It is like many things running on a single path like goods train, intercity, shatabadi, passenger or Metro all running on single track, getting red or green signal in between.

Life is like that, we think a lot although feel less. Lot many things, too many extents, feel happy, lost, fear, anxiety, destructive, creative and lot more.

Thinking can take you to the top of the world or you can even imagine your end.

So what type of GREAT Thinker you are?

It is vital to know as at the end of the day It is important as it is going to decide your performance.

We think, without thinking that’s others have assigned modes to our thoughts.

Sounds funny but yes there are 3 modes:-

  

Divergent:

Where the quantity of ideas is more important than quality. We begin with a point and go endless with thoughts and thoughts typically occur in a unprompted free-flowing way. It is actually a thought process which tells our mind to generate creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions.

 

Convergent:

A linear thinking, and a thought process or method used to generate creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions. Coming up with standard single answer is convergent which is without creativity.

 

Lateral thinking:

(using both logic and imagination)

Lateral thinking means being finding a creative way to a problem or challenge. It’s a great skill which is for sure boost your performance while at work. It fundamentally means being able to think artistically or think “out of the box”. It involve problems solving through a ingenious approach, using reasoning that is not immediately obvious and involving new ideas that may not be reachable by using only traditional step-by-step logic.

 

“The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.”
