Grey Matter.

Where have I heard of this before my creative thinking lesson last Wednesday? Ages ago perhaps. Whenever we are taught anything about thinking, using ours brains especially in a seminar or a classroom setting, there is this man who is often talked and discussed about. It is none other than the masters of thinking, Edward De Bono. Yes, I have heard of his name not once but several times throughout the course of my entire 23 years of existence.

So what is this term Lateral Thinking really means?
It is the use of creative and indirect means to solve problems, sometime it maybe an unorthodox method but well it works, doesn't? Using reasoning that is often not immediately obvious, not laid out plainly to us but it takes a little cracking of the head. Sometimes answers that we need cannot be obtain through a step by step approach. Such methodological can often lead to results that are unimaginative or something common, not new.

I have personally found myself thinking laterally but I don't even realise I'm thinking like that. So during the class, I now know that how to one is able to think laterally. And using it as one of the thinking tools to be able to help to study and lead my daily life more effectively.
