Thinking
8 = 6+2
Jayadeva de Silva
(Humantalents International)
• Most people cannot distinguish
between:
6+2 = 8
8 = 6+2
• The difference can be rather important.
• The addition of 6 and 2 cannot produce
any answer other than 8.
• But 8 can be made up of combinations
other than 6 and 2 (5+3, 4+4, 7+1).
• Why is this important?
• Because people start to believe that
if you have a 'right' answer there is
no need to think further because you
can never be more than right.
• They think, having the right answer
means you do not have to listen to
other answers because they can
never be 'more than right'.
• The result is a severe
limitation on thinking.
